No love for the rubber ducky isopods?

[–] Wutchilli@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Much Love from me for them (i have them myself)

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I saw them on a terrarium YT video (Serpa design?);

I don’t have any, but I gotta say, they are my favorite isopods now.

It's crazy that the cutest one was left out

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !isopodmyriapod@mander.xyz

Great. My daughter loves them.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 2 points 1 year ago

They're great in a chowder

Jelly beans that make you say, “Wait these aren’t jelly beans”.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

After eating some: "they taste much better than jelly beans"

It sucks knowing nature invented the perfect life form shape before we even evolved.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 2 points 1 year ago

We'll get there eventually

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Saw a video once about cooking these. Apparently they taste like shrimp.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All crustaceans tastes the same I guess like how all land animals taste like chicken

"Tastes like chicken" is because we made them taste generic, as a side effect of them growing much faster. "Chicken of Tomorrow contest"-effect.

Thank you, I hate it.👍

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'll never understand how anyone likes the taste of the black ones.

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I like the vanilla taste one.

[–] llama@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Shellac flavored

I'm still looking for that spinning wheel that tells me if I'm eating pear or grass.

[–] Aggravationstation@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Bit crunchier than I remember them being as a kid. Then again, what isn't these days.
