Eat worms, peasants. We have to power more AI server farms so that number go up.
- yup. the real solution has nothing to do with whatever the fuck individuals are eating when we have useless corporations using insane amount of resources that arent even needed. but we'll shame the individual plastic use, food choices, etc etc. dont let them do their propaganda, we can discuss individual choices once the corps arent doing 99.99% of the damage
  
  Ok but we do need to stop subsidizing beef
- Yeah, a plant-based diet is easier, yummier, more nutritious, and more effective.
  
  the cognitive dissonance you just caused, you cant just bring that up fully neutral like that

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_of_Worms Learned about it yesterday lol
- It took me a good ways into that article to remember what diet can mean. "Yes, yes, they assembled, but what were they eating??"
- So, uh... that's not the diet of worms this article is referring to.
  
  But it is the Diet of Worms that the meme refers to... D:

Omnivores will literally eat worms before going vegan, smh my head...
- Unironically yes, I'll gladly eat Gagh like a true warrior before I eat raw onion like a false pacifist.
  
  Preferably live too. It's the honorable thing
- I'm vegetarian and I'll gladly eat insects. It's just that they're insanely expensive to get (suitable for humans)
- if i have to reinvent the food passed down to me from my grandma i will do whatever tastes best
  
  There are vegan meat substitutes that are more than good enough for recreating meat dishes.
  I bet Beyond meat is probably a more accurate replacement than worms for your grandmother's cooking. At least I hope so, for your family's sake.
- Shake your head your head? Missing some key nutrients for cognition there?
  
  it's very likely an intentional exaggeration
  
  I ain't no cog in your nition, man!

Earthworms and crickets (and possibly other critters) are a great alternative to traditional meat because they thrive in small, compact spaces favored by capitalism. I would really appreciate it if they caught on so that they'd be commonly available and cheap, and then we could maybe outlaw torture of animals without everyone whining about how meat would become too expensive and they'd all starve to death.
I know someone is going to say we should just all be vegan, but I think this hypothetical person needs to be realistic about achievable goals, harm reduction, and the Overton window.
- How is "everyone is going to start eating worms" more realistic than everyone going vegan.

Billionaires are worms.

See?! Eat the rich!
- I may be vegan, but I can make an exception for billionaires
  
  Cannibalism is vegan because it doesn't involve the exploitation of non-human animals. :>

I've been making my own tempeh recently, it's so much cheaper than meat or buying tempeh, and it tastes better.
- that's fascinating. i was unfamiliar with tempeh and just read a bunch of wikipedia about it. i've been making my own tofu (usually out of black beans) for a while, but never tried tempeh.

Nobody likes us,
Everybody hates us,
I guess we'll go eat worms...

Slimy yet satisfying

what do i do if i have a phobia of worms

Alright I’ll cross scop from Mike Pondsmith’s cyberpunk off the bingo card, that makes 36 blackouts so far
