Like if you go to a gathering and there's nibbles if you see a bowl of monster munch you're going to wonder who the target audience is.

In 2002 I lived in Norwich I think

the pollen-laden females burrow into the figs and then can't get out so they die and decompose inside it, thus pollinating it. the enzymes in the fig are meant to completely digest it so it's apparently "fine", but i wont hear of it.

I still have a PS1 a friend gave me at my mom's house complete with running copies of Tekken 3, Bushido Blade 2, Xenogears (god help us), Armored Core and Final Fantasy Tactics.

I fire up that bad boy when I'm visiting mom with a ice cold ice tea peach.

Oh I almost forgot my favorite game, Kagero 2: Deadly Delusion.

idk what it was with the prawn discos but their flavouring machine must have hosed up regularly because there always used to be the odd bag that had poo poo loads of flavour on them with a load of pure flavour dust dumped in the bottom

Anyone remember these? I think the different flavours were different categories. The answers were printed inside the packet. An excellent way to pass the time at the lunch table.

I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

I only really like boojie crisps like kettle chips

And tortilla chips but my gf doesn't like them

a caterpillar crawled half way up one of my windows at the back and stopped, i was going to brush it off and kill it but i thought he might be turning into a butterfly so i'd leave him him be and i could watch :). the beauty of nature :):)

checked this morning and his corpse is currently being devoured by a bunch of green larvae that appear to have burst from his sides.

They're supposed to die in there, their wings break off as they force their way in. You also missed the part where they lay their eggs inside the fig, and then the wingless males mate with the females, chew their way out of the fig and then die, letting the newly fertilised females out to continue the cycle. Nature be wild.

Edit: ok you're accurately talking about the female figs which we go on to eat, I'm on about the male figs.

That "figs having -dissolved- dead wasps inside" knowledge kinda ruined the fruit for me because I'm a big baby that cannot shake the dread of the chance of finding half composed one inside.

They were really good for having wonderful poops, tho.

The wasps are like 2mm long, I don’t think you’d notice if there was one. Does that make it worse or better? :v:
