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

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

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

My contributions to saiga conservation years ago have paid off.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 24 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zidane@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

David Attenborough​: here we see the majestic Long Horned Steppe Gonzo placidly grazing.

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

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

Remind me. Antelopes: Delicious or nah?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 24 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Pretty much all meat is delicious cooked right.

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

Great, I searched for long pork recipes and now I guess I'm on a ton of watchlists 😐

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

You always were.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 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 8 hours ago

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

[–] MelodiousFunk@startrek.website 6 points 9 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 10 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 16 points 11 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 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

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