A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Oh I can explain it easily! One of them tastes good and the other one tastes bad. That's pretty much it... Not sure how it's so confusing though
Have you ever tried insects? Those who have have said that they taste good. They said it tastes like shrimp.
Those who have have had a different day of taste buds. With insects you're supposed to eat the exo skeleton, which is crunchy, but not nice. Then the meat is a bit nutty, is ok but the texture is off putting imho. Maybe eating your shrimp unpeeled would be a good equivalent.
I eat shrimp unpeeled. Learned to do it from Vietnamese restaurants. It's not bad! It saves a shitton of time peeling them, the spices are usually on the outside so you get more flavor, and the shell gives a nice crunch. I don't eat the tailfins tho that's dumb. They're hard, pointy, and have no meat.
That said... I advocate for finding ways to incorporate insects into western diets. I think we need to start a program to breed them for purpose though. Just like how bananas used to be small and full of seeds but were bred to what they are today. Breed a grubworm or something to be better eatin' and grow them in huge quantities. But no way am I eating a roach.
Yes. Do not recommend. It is okay to say no to drunk dares, ugh so gross.
I dunno I feel like most bugs would be pretty decent fried in Gaelic butter with salt.
That could be said for just about anything.
Well yeah but I don't like unsalted unbutter shellfish either usually.
I've tried crickets and ants before and they were decent with a ton of seasoning but it sure as hell wasn't as good as lobster.
Ants? Who eats ants?!
It's a big deal in Oaxaca and they're not bad. They add a ton of lime and salt and other seasonings. I had them when drinking Mezcal. The ants are really big too. Apparently they have like a spawning period where they're just everywhere so you can just scoop them up and put them in a skillet really easily.
Sorry to any actual big scientists. I'm sure I butchered that.
Can't imagine if I were to eat ants. Grasshopper I can imagine. But ants... I come from Indonesia and there we have small ants that smell like shit..
If I am to believe the tellings from It Came From The Desert, there could be ants as big as a house.
Ant eaters?
You're right.... Didn't cross my mind. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
