I've played enough EDF 5 to see where this is going, shoot them now whilst they are small

I just read Micro by Michael Crichton so now looking at this guy has a different meaning to me.

I saw posts about spider skeletons. Ironic given exoskeletons.

Roly Polies are the best. Always hangin out under rocks, waitin to say howdy
JhericFury
Fuck you they're woodlice (the aggression is sarcasm)

Isopods can have their own party.
dreammer243
Fun fact: Roly-polies aren't insects, they're terrestrial crustaceans.

How did Halloween go from being one day a year to a whole month?

There was actually an issue here in Ohio if some bodies being found and people thinking they were Halloween decorations.

I caught a Giant Isopod in Animal crossing and I was so happy as this was the last month it was available and I didn't want to wait a year
Orandu
You monster! Catch and release!
nintyuk
But it's being pampered by a owl in a big tank in the museum now
Orandu
My Aunt's dogs are "pampered", but open the door and see what they prefer. Luxury and prison are synonyms without the freedom of choice...
nintyuk
You do realise Animal Crossing is a Cartoon Video game. The Museum is Headed by a actual talking Owl.

rubber ducky isopods! so cute! spendy, though. i went with giant canyons, dairy cows, powder orange, dwarf whites, and zebras for my */1
pekulior
reptile enclosures. with the number i had to put in my tegu enclosure, the rubber ducky isopods would have bankrupt me. $25-$30 each :/ 2/2
SolarPhoenix99
oof, didn't realize they were so pricey!

A fucking retarded.
crunchymayoinmywaffletaco
You're supposed to kill it first so this doesn't happen, if you're not willing to kill it maybe you shouldn't cook it yourself just saying
Maclacakop
Just need a big enough pot and put them in head first
crunchymayoinmywaffletaco
Also yes, typically in restaurants they use pressurized steamers in my experience, they look like small ovens
BigDaddysMeatWagon
It's super easy. You just put them in the fridge for a while so they get sleepy and just like... Snip off the face or whatever.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Had a chef in school who would just take a cleaver and lop them in half length-wise before cooking them.
ZircZZ
This kills the crab
TurnkeyTurkey
Will he be okay?
ItsDandySpaceDandy
Fun fact, rolly polly bugs are in fact land dwelling crustaceans. If you eat them they taste slightly of shrimp.
BravelyEncouraging
Yay! I can finally afford shrimp again! Yessssssss!
MrChurch
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
I will take your word on that
ItsDandySpaceDandy
I have a feeling this was what your reaction looked like.
studioushagrid
Aaand now I've learned more about isopods and crsutaceans than I'd like to admit!
CobraClutch
Another fun fact: stop eating them.
TheIsopod
Plz no
starshroom108
I heard they taste like pee because they don't pee;it just drains out into their shell and then they molt and drop the pee shell...
commonmind872
And feces.
Sejegoth666
Famous Danish restaurant served a broth made of this that tasted just like seafood
LaFridg
Fun. I'm going to flip all my concret slabs (1f×1f) and start grubbing.
AC1D1C
Isopods in general are amazing pets. I have a terrarium full of them and they eat all the food scraps and animal sheds.
Joelistan
I read that too and wanted to find out thier taste, most people describe them tasting like piss.high urea content.
Badsequence
As a kid did you call them rolly polly's or pill bugs? Taking a survey!
smorgNoodleSmuggler
I have a dumb question. If you are allergic to crab and such would you have a similar reaction to eating these?
freckledkink
For when you want to eat 10,000 of something...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJH1Rieyg2Q video of people eating one.
xUnrealRealityx
You’re correct on the crustacean part, not ever gonna eat one willingly without severe coercion, i.e. Having a gun to my head.
sweaterrarium
They said that about shrimp, crab and lobster
drakewarnock
Crabs are basically water spiders and lobsters are water roaches. They really aren't that much different than bugs. Just gotta cook em right
eigeress
What's the other 'mostly' taste?
starshroom108
Pee :/
Pentacus
Bugs.
eigeress
Precisely leggy and crunchy.

So, nobody mentions the gigantic deep sea isopods, heh? /a/13zmHRG

Put that back right now.

In his butt?

Funny thing is I only know those exist because of Animal Crossing
dragonsluvtacos
I know them from Octonauts.

I love how of all the possible things, THAT is the arthropod that Blathers is okay with.
ClemFandangoAskingCanYouHearMe
Oh no, not falling for that again. Just like not breaking an egg by slowly putting it up your butt. Fool me once man, only once.

No, that's how you boil it, not break it.

No man, you gotta put olive oil on the egg first. That's probably where you made the mistake. Works great, and very handy for snacks.
drakewarnock
Maybe it's my diet, but I don't feel like my anus is clean enough to work as a storage for snacking eggs.

That's quitter talk.

They pair well with piss in survival situations. Just ask bear.

In the UK they're called pill beetles.

CaptinCuddles
I call it a wood louse

Pea bug. South East
BrerBunny
They call them woodlice or cheesy bugs in my part of the UK
FoxAwwStar
Grew up in Ontario and we also called them pill bugs or sow bugs. I also know them as roly polys.
boodow
Wood bugs. From BC.
deathcab4QT
Sorry, pill bug*
shmoogeeoogee
Its always been a pill bug to me. I'm in Michigan.
ecobuckeye
Same in Ohio, brother.
Jordinatinglybeautiful
I’ve literally never heard that term and I’ve lived in Scotland almost all my life. They’re woodlice or ‘slaters’.
shaggykx
We call them woodlouse in UK
ConsiderTheLily
Yep agreed
MyBigMouth
Northerner/Scotsman here, same. But apparently calling them pill bugs may be a Brummie thing
OverTheEventHorizon
Slaters up here.
deathcab4QT
It's like a woodlouse but it turns into a ball when you poke it.
ifyourfriendsdntdanceandiftheydntdancethentheyrenofriendsofmine
It's more of a distinction of a type of woodlouse in the UK.
shaggykx
Thats a woodlouse. They do that.
Tyanet
Do their shells act like other crustaceans and discolor when heated? Cause then I think you can make a compelling case for eating them.
iDontKnowAllYourSecrets
Then why did waste my time burning ANTS as a kid instead of these?!
ShareACokeWithLeroyJenkins
I actually have burned these with a magnifying glass as a kid..they pop in their shells, causing it to jump. I feel so bad for doing it now.
Melusin
that sounds so gross and I want to see it
ShareACokeWithLeroyJenkins
They don't really explode. They just curl up and then you hear a popping sound and the curled up shell jumps a bit.
Eryche
You made me research something I never knew I would. Yes, yes they do lol The darkness goes away and they turn whitish
Tyanet
Interesting! Today I learned something, so thank you for doing the research.

To get one lb of beef say takes 10lbs of feed. Same 10 lbs of feed given to locusts yields 9lbs of locust protien.
