Looks like some over-priced health food bars.

I always wondered what these fuckers were called. I always see them in rivers when I go camping.

Polish a turd, still a turd.

Not gonna lie, I didn't get a good look at the image at first and just thought some bugs were chilling in some granola bars.

IIRC this has been around for a while, and theres even a place that makes jewelry out of the shells.
AFelineMassofEyes
Please tell me more. What place?

Looks like the world's most expensive granola bar.

They don't look like old spray tanned idiots though.

#trump_tower has the best bug houses, trust me, I know a lot of bugs, and they all agree. More than Mexico, more than China. #MAGA

Gold beetles exist?!
Minnakht
Then the abandoned shells could be made into pendants or something, right?
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Yep!
Itsmotherfuckingtime
Probably to small tho
TrafficLight
They can get fairly large
goonislovegoonislife
The shells aren't strong enough. Source me who totally didn't find bugs in ponds and squish them when I was a kid -.-
Shplintt
Smash the beetles, smash em! Khun khun khun!
What if the further process involved filling the shells with something solid so that they couldn't be squished?
garlicbreads
Or maybe just inspiration/ base something off them :/
SemperFiZero
Precious turds.

Caddisfly larvae has more art talent than me.

Here comes PETA claiming this is their intellectual property with a cease and desist order.
darkladyvanstar
oh god no
GapingAnalCavity
I wonder how much of anti-peta sentiment is based on real nutbaggery and how much is people remembering things that didn't actually happen
TacticalSpoon
Cwalkdawg's joke references a PETA court case where they argue a selfie-taking monkey owns his photos and not the camera owner. Nutbaggery.
SendMeReplicasOfYourDick
real nutbaggery.
I mean, when I see their ads, yeah. But even jokes will color your perceptions over time.
I want to stick to the comment thread at hand...but dat username though
~shrugs~ they're awful people. The facts are the facts and the commercials/stunts are just the frosting of the shitcake.

I like when an artist comes up with something creative where I don't think "I could have come up with that."
GentlemanScientist
I do the same but for design and engineering stuff, sink stoppers, easy-open jar lids, selfie sticks. I coulda been rich damnit!
bananabirb
"You could have come up with it, but would you have?"
AgainstMethod
There's lots of art like that if you're not picky about how weird it is.
Mattateus
Okay but I like Mondrian and think that his Composition with Red Blue and Yellow was good
Most people would not have come up with Mondrian, and few of them could have painted it as well as him.
CheshireCad
"A creature several hundred times less intelligent than my toddler could have made that!"
MrMeems
But it wouldn't have thought to do it. The real effort in modern art is put in before a single touch of color is put in place.

I remember a piece of work that was only a single purple spray paint line across a canvas. The piece was called "I could have done that."1/2
angrysloth
2/2 and it sold for 3 million dollars
And captioned underneath was, "Yeah, but you didn't." 2/2
DnDArtdump
The difference is that I come up with weird ideas like this and then go "No, that's shit." I despise modern art. It's shit. All of it.
YourJimmiesAreMadeForRustlingAndThatsJustWhatIllDo
THIS. I hate it when people with no talent criticize other people with no talent who are out there actually doing stuff.

Often I COULD have done it, but I didn't think to myself "this single string on a canvas will sell for a million dollars."

I worked as guard in an art galley and you would not believe how many people say "Oh, I could do that".
GhostRing
"Yeah, but you didn't."
DrunkenRhino
Okay, but how often are they talking about a blank white canvas or a canvas with 3 tears in it, or a single line of spray paint?
Majority of the time the piece people make this comment on lack substance. What do you consider art?
