I think invasion is too strong a term. Maybe, a special operation of antelopes?

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds like they are about to join Australia in loosing a war to animals.

[–] Zidane@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah too loose and they'll slip right in

So you best lube up and brace yourself.

Pretty much all meat is delicious cooked right.

You should look up the foot taco stuff on reddit, if its still there. It was a while ago.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You're a bunny, you're not even exotic meat.

[–] MelodiousFunk@startrek.website 7 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but they might have Mad Mad Bunny disease. You don't want none of them prions, dawg.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Tell that to my vet, she treats me as her "exotic pet"

[–] LNRDrone@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

Probably delicious when cooked right. Never had antelope, but reindeer and moose are probably in the same pallpark and those are both good.

He should consider himself lucky. Next time, it’s the rabbits. Ask Napoleon.

Can you imagine? Cynical machoman invader can't be seen as Snow White :D

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

One day Oversimplified will cover this on youtube. Just like the pig war and the emu war.

And he'll release it right after he covers vietnam. Which will be in approximately 90 years.

Year 3 of the 3 day special military operation.

The Daily Star is really more entertaining semi-fiction than news, but this is still Onion-worthy.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Guy can’t handle a dozen people handy with steak knives.
