Why are conservatives what come to mind when you hear of salt and vinegar crickets?

etc.
I've seen this kind of thinking, but I still just think about the time I ate crickets.
I've just noticed that any time anyone ever brings up eating insects, or making flour out of insects, on the internet, some right wing dumbass reveals themself. Maybe lemmy is different, but I've seen that here too.
Lemmy has scant-few conservatives.
Depends on the instance
Well some of us haven’t done that so we mostly think of people losing their shit over it
You should try it if you can. It's much nicer thinking of culinary experiences than thinking of people making political drama over bugs of all things.
I’m a vegetarian so I’d rather not
Freakin liberals trying to push their vegan agenda, smh my hands.
Mx. this is Lemmy, we don’t have liberals here
