Yes I do, I always wonder how it came to be, and if it’s unusual I wonder about why it remains to this day.

Do you not even realise how actually painfully racist it is to imply that their culture is eating known extreme risk factors for horrible diseases? It’s like saying having AIDS is queer “culture”. It’s so fucking patronising.

Guy above gave an actual response. My original comment was just wondering if something happened like extremely bad famine or war that would cause people to take such a risk.

Now that makes sense. This nonsense about cultures is a crock of shit on the other hand.

Do they? Most everywhere people eat basically the same shit. Preparation methods vary and there’s substitutions historically based on available resources but globalisation has practically obliterated all that.

I’m not a westoid BTW I’ve traveled a decent amount.

Huh? Meat I eat isn’t considered to be a risky source of novel zoonotic coronaviruses

You’re absolutely correct, in fact most food is usually variations on a theme e.g. meat in bread like sandwiches, burgers, burritos, tacos, dumplings… but this isn’t a popular opinion unfortunately.

I’ve changed geographic location many times, there’s a huge difference between pickling vs. breading and eating fucking bats.

Culture is a spook and an excuse for simpletons.

No? Why would I? Is there anything that makes them as a food source particularly beneficial?

Do you eat bats often?

Maybe in the US? I’m sorry but we still have food regs in europe

Why not eat something nice and normal instead of a bat though? I mean FFS

This is correct, but that said if you’re doing anything Donnie don’t like, especially something you’ll likely be investigated for, your position can be actively tracked via cell towers, and software backdoors will happily record and transmit your GPS position over the internet, even disabling all this stuff you can never really know for sure, so keep that phone off.

Yeah, tbh Spotify has massively diversified my music taste and even more than that introduced me to literally hundreds of artists I’ve come to really enjoy.

I don’t use the home tab or any public playlists, I make my own playlists out of music featuring my faves, usually grouped by genre or vibe or for highly personal stuff to specific times and events in my life, like an old mixtape of sorts, then I’ll see what’s suggested at the bottom and check those songs out. If I really like it I might listen to more by the same artist or the album the song is from but I’ve never been huge on albums as a medium specifically.

It used to be a few years back that almost all the suggestions were spot on, maybe even better than Google Play Music used to be, but much more effective than the tried and true method of googling “artist/album/song like x”.

A lot of the artists I found that way only have a couple hundred or thousand monthly listeners, if that.

Though lately the recs haven’t been very good.

Yeah, the one thing that keeps me on spotify
