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

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

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

[–] Zidane@sh.itjust.works 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah too loose and they'll slip right in

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

Remind me. Antelopes: Delicious or nah?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 27 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Pretty much all meat is delicious cooked right.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 29 points 22 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 20 hours ago

You always were.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 4 points 21 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 20 hours ago

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

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Tell that to my vet, she treats me as her "exotic pet"

[–] MelodiousFunk@startrek.website 7 points 20 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 22 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.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 12 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 13 points 22 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.

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 hours ago

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