Guinea pigs not pickled lol. Look sorta roasted. It's not really people eating them that was gross just seeing them charred and whole was kinda surprising.
― Aqua Backrat (ENBB), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link
umm one of the "view image results" hits if you google the coconut crab involves one climbing up a guy's bare chest
for a second that felt gross, and then it started seeming like if you can just let them hang out on your bare chest, they must be pretty cool crabs

urgh, those photos of guinea pigs laid out like roasted pigs, with little red peppers in their mouths, are waaaay over-the-top, even for jaded old me.

I think parasites that prey on humans sorta belong in their own category. ordinary bedbugs and ticks scare me way more than any fancy egg-backed toads or tongue-eating crabs. at a distance, even the most monstrous animals can seem almost cute, but the moment a living thing burrows into my body, it shuts off the part of my brain that goes "awwwwwwwwww."

have had this, in peru! there's not a lot of meat. you can eat the toenails like unpopped corn kernels.

I have eaten more guinea pigs than I can remember now after seven months in Peru. Better than rabbit, not as good as chicken. lots of dark meat and little bones.

tbf it wouldn't actually help itself to the brains after opening up the baby's skull, it would call its buddy first

What is the fish that looks a lot like the viperfish but has giant, almost opaque eyeballs that are a solid milky white? And kind of a more elongated head? I had a picture book as a kid with a giant full page photo of two of their faces and it was the "scare yourself by turning to it" page for sure.
