Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

"Would you ever" thread! Comment suggesting something that's very niche, or that most people probably wouldn't do, or just a specific hypothetical scenario. Others can answer whether or not they think they'd realistically do it, and why/why not.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Would you ever eat insects? Do you think you'd eat them regularly, knowing that they are a good source of protein and a very sustainable food source?

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I mean if they were easily on hand and I knew how to prep them, I don't see why not. Honey-pot ant seems like it'd be cool to try at least once.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Only if I were like, starving. Under normal circumstances, I don't see myself ever willingly eating insects. For one, I'm vegetarian, but that's more of my cover-excuse. In reality, the thought seriously disgusts me. In theory, I totally support it, but I don't think I have the guts to just get the fuck over it and eat them.

Re: Would you ever...?

[vethica]

Sure. I've always wanted to try insects, actually. They seem crunchy.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, would love to try at least. I have some problems with eating things with faces (and some legs), so I would prefer them not in their original form.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

No. I don't think I'd be able to overcome the squick-factor.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Already did. There's this bug museum. And they cook up bugs for you to eat. It's a thing.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe, if I could be sure they were safe to eat, and cooked in a way that made them tasty. Plus I have a weird diet thing so I'm not sure if they would be on the list of 'approved foods' that don't make me ill.

I'm supportive of the idea of switching to alternative proteins in general - producing beef uses up way too much water and energy.

Re: Would you ever...?

[ibbity]

Only if I was actually about to starve to death. The thought of eating bugs is beyond disgusting to me, protein or no protein.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Already have. They were crickets and if it weren't for the seasoning on them, they would have tasted like nothing. More texture than anything else, kind of crunchy.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

I would be down with eating things made with ground up insects, like that cricket flour.

Re: Would you ever...?

[caerbannog]

Yes and have done so

Re: Would you ever...?

[elaminator]

Bugs freak me out so only if I was starving. *shivers*

Re: Would you ever...?

[herpymcderp]

Have eaten. They were okay. Would rather eat an insect than a cow or a chicken or a pig.

Re: Would you ever...?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Doubtful.

Re: Would you ever...?

[nightscale]

Not sure I could get over the squick factor tbh, like if I was starving I could, but otherwise probably not.

Re: Would you ever...?

[dahli]

Only if it's a huge emergency with my life at stake. Otherwise, no. Goodness, no. I can't even bring myself to kill insects (unless they are roaches. I hate roaches.)

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

I ate a fried grasshopper once. It was okay. It wasn't terrible or anything.

Re: Would you ever...?

[world_eater]

The thing with eating insects is, I don't mind it being insects, but there's so little to them you eat the entire head and everything and that grosses me out. I don't want to eat the heads of living things.


But I'd try them, sure. I think worms would be the easiest, anything where the parts are not easily discernable.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

In a post-apocalyptic situation, yes. Otherwise, no. It's a mental thing, it just grosses me out. If I were starving, I would get over that. But as long as I'm not starving, I'm not eating bugs.

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Would you ever wear a maid outfit?

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Would you ever live in a tiny house? For a week? For a month? Permanently?

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Would you ever go on a long backpacking trip? Like, at least a month, even three months? No vehicles and no hotels (maybe the occasional hostel).

Re: Would you ever...?

[(Anonymous)]

Quit your current career (if you have one) and start over doing something totally different? Even go back to school and get a new degree?
