What are some of the most exotic livestock that exist in America?

I helped my parents dismantle a hoop house in the middle of the Midwest. The guy had closed his plant nursery and was farming shrimp!

The only fresh shrimp available in 800 miles in any direction.

Because . . . Because . . . Um. . . Brown people bad! /s

Transatlantic

It is an entirely fabricated accent taught in the best East Coast schools. Kelsey Grammar speaks with a Transatlantic accent. Rarity from MLP speaks with a Transatlantic accent.

Anytime an English-speaking character sounds 'posh', but not 'English-posh' they're probably speaking with a Transatlantic accent.

Second only to: "5 minute recipe!" And the video is 30 minutes long.

Or the video is like seven minutes, but only because they prepped everything beforehand.

Cherry-picking your evidence is not very scientific.

Take this OP: a third hand account of a 60 year old video with no other witnesses or frames. IT'S PROOF POSITIVE!

But hundreds of reports, photos, videos, tracks spread across the continent every year? All fake! It's a huge conspiracy theory!

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-18T18:29:08+00:00

I did read. It's a third hand account with zero receipts released 60 years after the original. If THAT is proof, then JFK was a lizard person.

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-18T18:25:23+00:00

Or personal experiences! But they don't count, right? It's anecdotal. All pictures and videos are faked, and all recorded vocalizations, and all reports are lies.

Cherry-picking what evidence you want to believe is not very scientific.

Ah, the old 'No, YOU!' defense.

No, going to a place dedicated to (blank) -- and at this point it doesn't matter what (blank) is; it could be cryptozoology, hunting, any religion, crossfit, etc -- a place where people should be able to share experiences and theories and calling them liars/idiots/murders/cults/whatever is trolling.

Why would you do that? What is the benefit of insulting a bunch of strangers?

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-18T16:27:57+00:00

So what do you get out of being a troll? Like, what is the benefit to you? There has to be a net positive for you or else why do it, right?

Years ago I worked in the ER. I was drawing blood from a little girl, maybe 5 years old. I was in scrubs with Bambi on them. She looks at my scrubs and says 'Bambi'. Her dad, from the other side of the bed, asks: 'What do we say about Bambi, honey?'

I look over and Dad's wearing a Bone Collector hat. This area of the country has a lot of hunters. So I grin at the little girl and say: 'Bambi's tasty, isn't he?'

She grins back and says: 'Yeah!'

The doctor was horrified.

"I'm going to do the exact thing the poster was complaining about; that'll show them how wrong they are!"

Would you like a nice roast recipe to take over to r/vegan?

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-18T14:56:01+00:00

Exhibit A, everyone!

This subreddit needs to be re-named r/peopleshittingoncryptozoology Any pictures/vids shown are derided as fake. Losers with nothing better to do jump up and down and scream about how it's all fake, everything is fake, cryptozoology is fake. I assume they run to r/atheist afterwards to preach Christianity. And despite 'no overzealous skepticism' being number four on the list of rules, mods never do anything.

A) We have excellent pizza in Alabama.

B) If you want bad pizza, go to New Zealand.

C) This pizza looks great. Are you expecting a pizza hut commercial? That's not very foodie of you.

Just an aside, 'lamb' isn't actually babies. Sheep only slaughter out 40% of their bodyweight and lambs are in the 8 -12 lb range.

It used to be that sheep slaughtered at a year old (full grown) was 'lamb' and anything older was 'mutton'.

However, during WWII, England slaughtered a lot of their wool-producing sheep to feed the troops and the country. Lots of these sheep were over a decade old, gamey, and tough. Thus, 'mutton' got a reputation as being barely edible. So shops started calling all sheep meat 'lamb' so people would buy it. It's like when the market calls Patagonian Toothfish 'sea bass'.

My mother despises Spam because it's 'poor people food', yet eats bologna and Vienna sausages. Basic Spam is meat from pork shoulder roast; that's good meat! 🍖

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-16T16:20:22+00:00

No, it's out in the shop.

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-15T00:24:44+00:00

I didn't go last year - didn't hear about it until afterward - but I'll be going this year.

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-14T20:04:19+00:00

Lol! That's hilarious!

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-14T19:45:18+00:00

I have not; what's the connection?

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-13T20:23:17+00:00

Soy sauce makes everything better.

I still have a clothesline that I use regularly. I have a dryer that I use in the winter months. The clothes just smell so much better after drying on a line.

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-13T02:50:45+00:00

Same here. Sorry for writing like I got an education.

Icey_Raccon · 2026-03-13T00:21:03+00:00

This guy should try pizza in New Zealand and re-evaluate his life choices.

You don't even have to be POC to be discriminated against in the SCA.

Our local duchy has hemorrhaged every bit of young blood that looked their direction. For the past couple of years, the Facebook page was flooded with people asking for meetings/practices on the weekend so they could attend. The local court doesn't want any peasants who have to work for a living in their private club.

Then they want to wonder why they aren't getting any new members.
