      Unironically this.

      "Hm this animal we rely on for food and income seems to be becoming scarce. Should we wait a few seasons to raise the levels?"

      "Lol nah fuck it lets fill them nets."

        Or:

        "This animal we rely on for food and income is becoming scarce. Should we push for serious measures to reverse climate change?"

        “Lol nah fuck it lets fill them nets.”

          You claim to care about climate change and yet you continue to struggle to avoid poverty. Curious.

      Their value increases as their numbers dwindle because of the law of value and also capitalist profiteering on top of that. Exotic pet enslavers will take rare parrots from South (East ) Asia, smuggling them in plastic water bottles out to sea, and kill 90% of them doing this but all it does is allow them to charge even more for them to sell to the rich.

      it's an expensive butter delivery device, more or less.

        How dare you forget about Old Bay, the only good thing the US has ever given us... Other than that time they gave us big smiles when we lit the White House on fire.

          Yeah, but Old Bay is just as delicious tossed on popcorn as it is on crab, plus it's a lot cheaper that way.

          Seriously, next time you have popcorn throw some OB on top of it, it's amazing.

            They're both great. I have like 5 kg of each hiding in my pantry. I just buy a bunch of each every time I have to visit the US

          I've got a food service sized container of it in my pantry. I always bring it up when i'm headed to the east coast. Old Bay rocks.

      From what I remember from my pre-vegan teen years, it was pretty bland and it was more about the aesthetic and visual presentation.

    Reposting an old comment because recycling:

    You are a lobster. Bitch, you live in the ocean. You are a crustacean. You need to eat your fuckin’ weight in trash. Your fucking children, you’ve had 15 children. You literally live in a bath. You’ve literally never. dried. your. penis. You’ve never used toilet paper. Motherfucker, you have worms. You are dying. You’ve had 40 children, 3 of them are alive. 2 of them are entrees at the seafood restaurant.

    Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die in the ocean. You fucking can’t read. You don’t know what TV is. If you were transported onto land, you would be the worst gamer of all time. You don’t know shit. You literally probably don’t even know what the direction ‘left’ is. I’m sure some marine biologist is gonna get mad at me for this, bitch I’ve been to the beach. I’ve eaten a turkey leg, which the Juggalos call ‘bitch beaters’, which I think is problematic but a funny thing to call them.

    Motherfucker, you gotta recognize where you are, and then you gotta get passed that. You gotta be unemotional. You can’t sink into this hole. You live on the seafloor. Your job is to eat garbage, motherfucker. You live in the HOLE. You’re in the HOLE. You are a LOBSTER. And the Lobster, when he’s in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole.

    You need to eat a body. And you need to carry parasites. And you need to carry parasites around this whole world, that will change this whole fuckin world. And all your enemies will vomit buttery bile and will choke on shells and will grow lethargic. But only if you get together with your other LOBSTERS. And you come up with some kind of super parasites, to fuckin end your enemies and…

    End. This. Nightmare.
