I'm good, thanks.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I'm good, thanks.
I’m good, thanks.
Ah, you don't have your safety glasses?
Up and atom!
I'm willing to try every food once, but my only hard requirement is that it really shouldn't feature multicellular life.
My man has never tried Gagh and it shows
I'll take some plomeek soup thanks.
Spicy ok?
What do you eat then? Spirulina? Yeast?
I eat lots of dead multicellular organisms, and no living ones.
Oh yes you do!
Nope, as long as I deny it, it's not true! Deciding your own reality is all the rage right now.
Mostly dead things, I presume.
Somehow cheese with dead maggots in it doesn't sound much more appealing.
Ehhhhh, I've had dead insects before. It wasn't great, but like I said, try everything once
Well, no. They say if the maggots are dead, the cheese isn't safe to eat.
Pretty sure that this only applies if they die on your own.
Lmao, even zooplankton is multicellular, maybe he meant macroscopique Multicellular life? But then a steak is from a multicellular form of life
I mean currently-living. I'm obviously fine with dead multicellular organisms.
Aren't some uncooked vegetables still kinda alive when you eat them? Or yeasts?
Quite the opposite for me, I pretty much only eat multicellular life. Just had a carrot.
No oysters huh?
Not raw/live ones, no.
It is possible that the larvae could survive in the intestine, causing enteric pseudomyiasis,[2] which can manifest as nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal upset;[3] however, no cases have been linked to the cheese.[4] Additionally, these larvae can carry harmful microorganisms that may lead to infections. Due to these risks, Italian authorities have banned the sale of this cheese, deeming it dangerous. Consequently, it is also prohibited across the European Union, as EU food safety regulations mandate that only food safe for consumption can be sold.[2]
I see your maggot cheese and raise you "Cheese made with sheep poo juice"
