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

[–] frozenpopsicle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 29 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zidane@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

So you best lube up and brace yourself.

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

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

Remind me. Antelopes: Delicious or nah?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 25 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Pretty much all meat is delicious cooked right.

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

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 28 points 12 hours 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 10 hours ago

You always were.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours 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 10 hours ago

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

[–] MelodiousFunk@startrek.website 6 points 10 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 12 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 15 points 12 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.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

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