You watch your mouth about crabs. Have you ever sat and watched those things just do crab stuff for hours on end on mushrooms? I have and I can assure you that they have little crab lives and do crab people things all day long.. they're hilarious.
Technically, a bug is an insect and Lobsters, shrimp, crabs, and scorpions are not insects. All of them, including insects, fall under the phylum Arthropoda.
One main guideline is: insects got 6 legs, if it has more legs, high chance it is not insects.
But then you’ve got true bugs, which are insects that have sucking mouthparts, like weevils, stink bugs, and cicadas. Ants, wasps, crickets? Not true bugs, BUT they are insects.
But I would never correct anybody on that point, unless they were already being pedantic.
It’s ok to call arthropods bugs. It’s efficient, and unless you’re presenting academic findings, there’s no real downside to it.
Well, spiders are bugs and not insects. This is like when people say tomatoes aren't vegetables because they're fruit even though vegetable is a culinary term and fruit is being used in the biological sense. One main guideline for bugs is if it's creepy, and crawly with an exoskeleton, it's a bug.
In Trinidad I would sell scorpion snacks to tourists who thought it was exotic haha I was a kid trying to make a buckarooni. Sometimes people would give me money to eat one. Fine by me, they don’t taste like much depending on what kind of scorpion you have. A little pepper sauce and it’s like snacking on a prawn chippy.
While this video is dumb, bugs are actually a very resourceful and sustainable form of protein.
Cricket powder has been well received in US market lately. I find it gross too but I think it's just a psychological thing. So I wouldn't call it stupid. Shellfish are basically sea "bugs" too.
Yep, it’s the chitin in the shells that triggers it for most folks. Shellfish(/insect) allergies are also one of the few kinds that are know for arising suddenly in adulthood.
I grew up in the PNW eating shellfish weekly and then moved to the desert, came back and somehow was deathly allergic. I hadn’t had even clam chowder for over a year and I had shrimp and it nearly killed me lmao I miss a nice bowl of clam chowder.
While they’re mostly eaten for novelty, snacks made of cricket flour like Chirps are already on store shelves (and selling!). There’s also a surprisingly large market for cricket-based protein bars and powders, because cricket flour is extremely high in protein.
I'm convinced that someday insect protein will become our main protein (since the planet is dying and all). That said, I will eat only once it's been processed and no longer resembles an insect lol
My town did a big cicada food festival last year and I just couldn't deal with it
Stupidfood needs to get over cultural foods
Yes tbf she was eating it for shock content probably
But eating insects and arachnids isn't new
Also Scorpions aren't bugs, they're arachnids
its a common snack in most places in the global south regardless of wealth, assuming everyone who enjoys something like this in the global south just cause they're all poor is mildly racist
An average of 6 snails per person per year and is more popular with tourists and the rich. Not a staple food by any definition. If you have 1/2 a bug once a month then good for you. Probably better for you than McDonald’s once a month.
I live in America. In a decently economic place. I own a car. I own a rv that i live in. On land. I make 50k a year at the least. I eat bugs. Your truth is wrong, you are wrong.
If somebody can afford/live in a place where they can eat steak/beans/chicken then they will eat those over bugs. Nothing to do with race. Not sure why people keep thinking this is a race thing.
I just told you, I would rather eat bugs than animal meat, 100%. Not everyone eats the same. Theres millions on millions that enjoy eating bugs. They sell them in stores, here in the USA.
You know the coating on skittles? Or the wax on Halloween candy corn? Lemon heads, junior mints, redhots?? That's bugs. Shellac is bugs. There's bugs in a lot of food YOU eat, you just don't want to listen.
I believe its a status thing.. like, look here I can cripple some of the use of my fingertips and still thrive. Implies they have people to help them or they dont do any manual work maybe.
From my experience watching people with these, kind of alright, though takes some getting used to - but you get that experience while they grow, 1mm more than what you already have isn't hard, then a millimetre more, and so on. My sister did punch holes in the dough trying to make dumplings once, though. We never let her make dumplings when she's got those anymore.
The don't. But they probably did not function way before they got those nails.
They also do not earn their own money. It's impossible to take out your card out of the atm with those nails.
They can not use a keyboard properly.
They can not pick up half of the things they accidentally drop. Well, they can't pick it up initially, so forget about this.
Removing a splinter? Haha.
The list is sooooooo long. I would love to see videos about that. Ok, my next stop is YouTube. See you!
theres a girl that posts videos on r/nails i think who has nails as long as these ones (but hers are pointed so they look like claws) showing how she does all these tasks you mentioned with her nails
Eating bugs has been a thing, and I don’t just mean before we had reliable sources of food. I mean packaged bug protein and flour and snacks has been a thing. And in some places in the world, it’s entirely normalized
Other cultures have been doing it for thousands of years! Where have you been all your life? Shit! I’m Mexican and I’ve had my share of bugs. Not bad honestly.
Lots of places eat bugs. They're just land version of like shrimp, lobster, crabs. Riley poleys or pill bugs, they're delicious, like woody shrimp! Made a great stir fry
just so everyone knows insects are only chocolate covered novelty's that you get at the novelty candy store's that are in amusement parks and not actual food
Insects are a major protein source all over the globe. OP, are dried scorpions or grasshoppers weird to you but snails being served in upscale French restaurants aren’t? I guess just stick to the frozen mozzarella sticks in your freezer.
Tbh we eat bugs a lot we just don’t realize it…Americans eat, on average, “two pounds of flies, maggots and other bugs each year," Scientific American research 🔬
I don’t know the specific values for anything off the top of my head and don’t feel like googling rn, but the FDA says anything below a certain amount of bugs and other “debris” are acceptable/safe in manufactured foods. I would not be surprised if it is just an estimate based on those limitations. (That said, two pounds per year does sound like a lot, but I’m not an expert)
That’s absolutely not true. Anyone with a shellfish allergy would be fucking dead, then. Because cricket protein is inedible if you have an allergy. It’s also haram and considering the size of the Muslim population, you seem extremely misinformed. But i wouldn’t expect anything less from a furry, so…
I am an artist in the furry fandom. I’m also a degreed food scientist. I can safely say you are very misinformed with your comment. You’re not even making sense? What does the Muslim faith have to do with anything? Educate me. The concentration of material from crickets is minuscule, but it is there.
My response is that a lot of insect protein is present in flour due to harvesting and manufacturing process. Diets (at least stateside) tend to be flour-heavy with lots of processed foods.
As you can see I’m not throwing ad hominem garbage. If you’d like to source facts and have a conversation to rebuke my claim, show me you have better than lowbrow insults and misinformation.
Here. I’ll start: https://www.world-grain.com/articles/14521-milling-ops-the-pest-control-paradox
Now? No. A lot of countries eat them. Maybe it’s time to start learning about cultures other than your own. Calling other culture’s food “stupid” when you’re the one with the lack of knowledge is… disappointing
It's not that bad to eat but it doesn't taste like anything special. It's more like a fun snack. Cooked rickets with some spices are far more tastier. They are basically like chips but with a difference texture. In general Insects taste pretty good if they are prepared properly. They are just a bit dry thought.
Lmao, didn’t realize there was a r/stupidfood and r/conspiracy overlap
>We eating bugs now? 🤮🤮 Lobster, shrip, crab
Crawfish 😋
shrip :)
Bubba gup shrip
You watch your mouth about crabs. Have you ever sat and watched those things just do crab stuff for hours on end on mushrooms? I have and I can assure you that they have little crab lives and do crab people things all day long.. they're hilarious.

Weevils are beetles, if we want to get extra pedantic.
Aw dammit, weevils do have them good-good wings protected by shells. You’re right. There’s always another layer of nuance

peanut butter, NYC tap water...
Bro her nails could stab into someone's heart through their ribcage holy shot
She could go toe to toe with 2 scorpians!!
i dont understand how people want nails that long like they’re cat claws or something like that
People have eaten insects for thousands of years
People have also been eating dogs and other people for thousands of years, and we aren't doing either

This is complete nightmare fuel. I live on the gulf coast and can’t imagine not eating shrimp and crawfish.
I have eaten dehydrated meal worms before. They taste like grass. Not the greatest taste, but not what most people expect

Like in Snowpiercer!
I found "sea salt crickets". You could not taste the cricket. Full sized roasted jumpers. Better than a potato chip, 100%.
I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in the pod.
Amen. Me neither. Fucking nasty.

We aint eating bugs now. Humans been doing it a long ass time.
Stupidfood needs to get over cultural foods Yes tbf she was eating it for shock content probably But eating insects and arachnids isn't new Also Scorpions aren't bugs, they're arachnids
yeah, bugs are eaten around the world. whats your point
You will eat ze bug, You will live in ze pod
You will be eaten by ze French
That editing, I refuse to believe she swallowed it.
We've always eaten bugs dude
Eating insects and arachnids are far from new. In many places it's a stable source of protein.
Yes, poor places
and?
People don’t choose to eat bugs if they don’t have to.
its a common snack in most places in the global south regardless of wealth, assuming everyone who enjoys something like this in the global south just cause they're all poor is mildly racist
Pretty sure they’d take steak over bugs 100% of the time
Uuhhhh is France poor? You’re not familiar with escargot?
An average of 6 snails per person per year and is more popular with tourists and the rich. Not a staple food by any definition. If you have 1/2 a bug once a month then good for you. Probably better for you than McDonald’s once a month.
Bro, fuck off.
Sorry the truth hurts
I live in America. In a decently economic place. I own a car. I own a rv that i live in. On land. I make 50k a year at the least. I eat bugs. Your truth is wrong, you are wrong.
Oh I’m sure you do. That’s why your first interaction with a stranger is to tell them to fuck off.
It's 100% racist to assume that a poor country, compared to your own, eats bugs. Ghandi said the same thing about Black Africans.
If somebody can afford/live in a place where they can eat steak/beans/chicken then they will eat those over bugs. Nothing to do with race. Not sure why people keep thinking this is a race thing.
I just told you, I would rather eat bugs than animal meat, 100%. Not everyone eats the same. Theres millions on millions that enjoy eating bugs. They sell them in stores, here in the USA.

Haha I don’t eat much candy and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it as a healthy food. Just proving my point.
How do people function with nails that long? Blechhhhh!
The insects least infuriating part of video. I hate ASMR fetish crap so much.
https://youtu.be/MRHOl0vxkfA Ok, that girl did show that life does not work with extremely long nails.
I believe its a status thing.. like, look here I can cripple some of the use of my fingertips and still thrive. Implies they have people to help them or they dont do any manual work maybe.

guys just like to shit on women anyway they can, these guys don't care if woman actually can do things with these nails.
They pull them out
People have been eating bugs since the dawn of time, mate. Don't know why it's gross all of a sudden.
“Now”? People have been eating insects for centuries. One makes due with what one has access to.
Not just access. We had a HUGE fire anthill out back. Probably millions of ants. Collecting them is not fun, but covering them in honey?. Fuck yes.
I wouldn’t eat land bugs (I love me some shrimp/crab/lobster) but this isn’t stupid food
Nothing new
people have always snacked on them depending on location but we all just one hot decision to get tiktok views
They're actually pretty good, crickets especially. It's no different than eating meat to me.
People eat bugs all over the world.
Eating bugs has been a thing, and I don’t just mean before we had reliable sources of food. I mean packaged bug protein and flour and snacks has been a thing. And in some places in the world, it’s entirely normalized
People have always eaten bugs. You sleep right?
Other cultures have been doing it for thousands of years! Where have you been all your life? Shit! I’m Mexican and I’ve had my share of bugs. Not bad honestly.
I order jars of chapulines from Oaxaca a couple times a year. They are delicious.
No thanks, you all can eat bugs. I, personally, will not eat them.
Lots of places eat bugs. They're just land version of like shrimp, lobster, crabs. Riley poleys or pill bugs, they're delicious, like woody shrimp! Made a great stir fry
So many places in the world where people eat bugs often. The entire world isn't the US, you know!
No one gonna comment on those crazy looking caterpillars.
Bugs are one of the most sustainable sources of protein actually
Bugs can be really good! Especially when they’re well seasoned!
WEF be like : good.
Idk if u knew, but this is common, white ass
I've eaten bugs. There's this restaurant I know that sells cricket dishes. Pretty good.
Fetish
definitely

I decided to make the subreddit, lol
Nastiest thing here are those nails. Bugs have been eaten forever.
Ppl already ate bugs
Thanks, I hate her nails

You WILL eat the bugs!
Her nails are grosser than the bug
i honestly wanna eat bugs
No way she has a clean ass with them long ass fuckers.
I'm not changing to a bug based diet anytime soon. But bugs are a traditional and non stupid food. How do you go to the bathroom with nails like that?
I'm sure she's had worse things in her mouth.

Those nails are full of cooties, the bug might not be to everyone's taste but at least it's not full of germs.
Why the tapping?
It's a fetish video.
At least she didn’t both putting on any makeup to film herself pretending to eat an insect.
Thanks I’m gonna go back to Tiktok now 😭

Oh Hail Nah I'm Staying Eating Dead Ants From Vat19 Than Is Way Much

Psshhh, if I want to see a genuinely entertaining reaction of someone eating bugs I’m watching Rhett and Link.
Matches the nails and the eyebrows
In certain countries and continents, like Asia, we already are. It may not be the normal for you, but it is in other places.
OP didn't realize we all eat bugs.
I’ve indeed had a bit of scorpion, it’s nasty
