World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You know, when i played cyberpunk i noticed they had pizza with authentic pepperoni beetles. I stopped my cyber terrorism to think about that. I was first taken aback about how it truly is a dystopian story. But now that i think about it… would i really care? I unironically like impossible burgers, not because it tastes just like beef, but it’s got that characteristics of a good burger, just a more exotic animal like kangaroo burgers. After the novelty of knowing its bug meat, i could see not thinking differently about it at all. More sustainable, cheaper, healthier, less animal cruelty, and good taste?
Now i know the current bug meat claims are a lie, but honestly… bring on the bugs!
South park had a similar point.
Cartman was all anti vegan food, untill he realized it was just the same hyperprocessed goop he was used to. Then he was all for it.
Part of it is our ingrained belief that insects are filthy (and a lot of them are, but so are a lot of animals we eat, specially how we treat them). Personally, I'd rather have cultivated meat if that's viable in the future.
Like printed meat or a plant that grows meat adjacent flesh?
Like the thing where they grow meat from cells in a petri dish and they multiply in a tank. I think meat '3d printing' is a way to do it, but there are others
Honestly im surprised bugs aren't a more popular food. Lots of places where they are boutique street food but haven't seen anyone try to do it at high-volume. I bet you can make a spam-like product that isn't too bad to eat and not really think about what exactly is in it.
It's the ick factor. If you could puree grasshoppers and put something on the ingredients that didn't make it sound like insects, and sell it cheaper than beef, then people would buy it.
Honestly, not knowing what’s in spam is why I don’t eat spam.
I’d rather crunch out on a grasshopper (or cricket, grub… those aren’t crunchy, though,) than eat spam
(I spent some time in Thailand and have had ma laeng tod. The, street food you mentioned)
They definitely sell insects at volume in some countries. In L.A. I was able to get prepackaged insects of several species at a Thai grocery.
Meanwhile, Takemura: "Anything that isn't local?"
That's not to say that you can't make excellent food like that, it's just that expecting culinary refinement from Night City's food-chain is a bit of a stretch. Nestle meets American palate.
