I think invasion is too strong a term. Maybe, a special operation of antelopes?

David Attenborough​: here we see the majestic Long Horned Steppe Gonzo placidly grazing.

Sounds like they are about to join Australia in loosing a war to animals.

[–] Zidane@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah too loose and they'll slip right in

A lot of antelopes about to be mysteriously pushed out windows.

My contributions to saiga conservation years ago have paid off.

He should consider himself lucky. Next time, it’s the rabbits. Ask Napoleon.

Can you imagine? Cynical machoman invader can't be seen as Snow White :D

Remind me. Antelopes: Delicious or nah?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Pretty much all meat is delicious cooked right.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes officer, this person right here

Great, I searched for long pork recipes and now I guess I'm on a ton of watchlists 😐

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

You always were.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You should look up the foot taco stuff on reddit, if its still there. It was a while ago.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Best I can do is burger king foot lettice.

Except moles. Apparently they taste like shit however you cook em.

You're a bunny, you're not even exotic meat.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Tell that to my vet, she treats me as her "exotic pet"

Yeah, but they might have Mad Mad Bunny disease. You don't want none of them prions, dawg.

[–] LNRDrone@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Probably delicious when cooked right. Never had antelope, but reindeer and moose are probably in the same pallpark and those are both good.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Everything is going according to plan!

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Year 3 of the 3 day special military operation.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

One day Oversimplified will cover this on youtube. Just like the pig war and the emu war.

And he'll release it right after he covers vietnam. Which will be in approximately 90 years.

The Daily Star is really more entertaining semi-fiction than news, but this is still Onion-worthy.

Guy can’t handle a dozen people handy with steak knives.

Also, discouraging words are seldom heard there, and in the daytime the skies are cloudless.

The previous one he felt, but took for a turd
