And your point would be??
I mean...people eat a lot of different things throughout the world?  As long as it's dead and/or cooked, I really see nothing wrong with this.

It's when things are eaten still alive that I get...*shudders*  That's just masochistic and cruel to the animal.

The video ends prematurely, which leaves so much to the imagination.  Does he swallow the rat head?  What happened to the skull--does that just add crunch?  Is it safe to swallow a rat skull?  It seems like that would tear up your insides.  And what about the fur?

I really find it hard to believe there is anywhere in the world where eating whole rat heads for nutrition is a thing.  I suspect this a dare or a shock video or a rite of passage or something.

Tbh, the way he's eating it def seems more sensationalized/like something a kid would do that normal eating.  I mean, I remember chasing my cousin's around the table with the fish head and eyeballs when I was little, but my uncles and everyone else just ate it like it was normal food/didn't make a big deal of it (FYI: fish eyeball + the cheek are delicious together).

As for eating a skull and fur...I mean, I think our body could survive it?  We're omnivores, so maybe?  Idk, I feel like I've swallowed chicken bones before when my mom made chicken soup?  The bones get kinda brittle after boiling and when you separate the meat from bone, sometimes the snap and you end up with bone in your soup by mistake?

 
But back on the the rona:

Older co-worker, who said this was all a hoax/made up by the Dems is suddenly taking this very seriously and wanting gloves/masks, is concerned because the hospital won't give us masks (because, you know, the health care workers need it more), and got kinda pissy when I said in response to him, "But, didn't you say two weeks ago that this was all going to blow over?"

We are not normally much of conspiracy theorist but we now turn our phones off when we leave the house, even for "essential" travel and shopping - I think everyone in "shut down" areas is being tracked to see how much everyone is staying put or not..

That makes me want to take a wagon full of phones, like that guy who f'd up traffic with one, and start bringing it to all the places I want them to shut down.

 
We've got some hypotheses about that one:

1. Some people live in towns without things like grocery stores, so they are driving 15-40 miles to go shop and get back home. 

2. A lot of people also commute from those small towns into bigger towns to work. Douglas to Casper and Douglas to Gillette come to mind. 

3. We have no stay-at-home mandate. It's a conservative state, so a good portion of the population is still operating under the "this is a liberal hoax" mindset.

Reading further down the article it does state that larger, less populated states have to generally drive further than other places so I pulled  a "Fake News" and just posted the "headline"

I dont know how CO is green - I went into the office yesterday morning and I-25 was fairly full.

& just in a general political sense I think its sort of funny how the 60's era "liberals" were very much into F the government man! And today's counterparts are like "We must do everything the government tells us to do"!  (not getting political just an observation I find sort of funny)
