No love for the rubber ducky isopods?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Much Love from me for them (i have them myself)

[–] FuglyDuck 10 points 9 months ago

I saw them on a terrarium YT video (Serpa design?);

I don’t have any, but I gotta say, they are my favorite isopods now.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

They're great in a chowder

Saw a video once about cooking these. Apparently they taste like shrimp.

All crustaceans tastes the same I guess like how all land animals taste like chicken

"Tastes like chicken" is because we made them taste generic, as a side effect of them growing much faster. "Chicken of Tomorrow contest"-effect.

Jelly beans that make you say, “Wait these aren’t jelly beans”.

After eating some: "they taste much better than jelly beans"

It sucks knowing nature invented the perfect life form shape before we even evolved.

I'll never understand how anyone likes the taste of the black ones.

[–] SomeGuy69 3 points 9 months ago

I like the vanilla taste one.

Shellac flavored

Bit crunchier than I remember them being as a kid. Then again, what isn't these days.

I'm still looking for that spinning wheel that tells me if I'm eating pear or grass.
