Have you considered that they're icky?

I've had fried crickets, mealworms and even scorpion. Bugs are tasty.

I know not vegan but I had them a long while back and they were fine.

First instinct is to downvote because it sounds gross af.

Honestly though, good on you McBuggins.

Don't knock it till you try it! Fried crickets are like popcorn but a little nutty and oddly spicy.

My first instinct is to downvote because eating bugs isn't vegan, but alas, Hexbear doesn't have downvotes.

Oh I didnt realize hexbear was another instance without downvoting, I only knew beehaw had them turned off

[–] jack@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Beehaw violated our patent

Nope, Hexbear hasn't had votes since long before they federated with other instances. Which is very funny when someone talks about the "hexbear trolls" coming in and downvoting their comments, because it's the one thing for sure Hexbear users cannot actually do.
