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

My contributions to saiga conservation years ago have paid off.

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

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

Remind me. Antelopes: Delicious or nah?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 26 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Pretty much all meat is delicious cooked right.

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

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

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

You always were.

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 7 hours ago

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

[–] MelodiousFunk@startrek.website 6 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] LNRDrone@sopuli.xyz 7 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours 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.

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

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