Did you ever have one of those friends, or know one of those guys, who could be counted on in the middle of festivities to drop to his back on the floor, arms and legs in the air, and twitch for a bit?
Deadbugging for attention?
Marines, especially Lance Corporals, were masters of the dance, and some sergeants never completely grew out of the impulse to cause a scene.
That was decades before 'deadbugging' became synonymous with the trendy, effective core exercises that a booming physical therapy industry had to invent names for.
It's hard to believe you can do an exercise called 'The Dead Bug' improperly, but while searching for some video of a lit mah-roon flopping on a dance floor to illustrate my opening, I have since learned that one can.
They ruin everything fun.
Then, dead bugs became synonymous with a globalist threat. We were going to be forced to eat them, as our Davos masters rejiggered the world to suit their purposes and needs, and decided that the foodstuffs which kept us peasants alive and pretty happy were a threat to it.
No more cows.
The push to end life, of both animals and humans, in the name of “climate activism” is fundamentally evil

Or if there must be cows, they shan't be allowed to fart any further.
As my girlfriend Leslie Eastman noted, this Bill Gates' engineering experiment didn't work out for anyone, least of all the poor cows.
Norway Pauses Use of Fart-Reducing Cattle Feed in Wake of Danish Cow-Tastrophe
Denmark’s farmers have recently been reporting that their cows are collapsing and suffering illness after eating feed containing a methane-reducing additive called Bovaer.
Use of this feed is now legally required for many farms in Denmark as part of its national climate policy. Some farmers claim their cattle experienced severe symptoms after eating the additive-infused feed, including collapse, lethargy, reduced feed intake, fever, diarrhea, miscarriages, and significant drops in milk production.
Based on these complaints, another Scandinavian country poised to implement the same policy is halting the move.
In Norway, the government had mandated the use of Bovaer as an additive in all dairy cows starting in 2027 as part of its climate action plan. However, the Norwegian state-subsidised milk cooperative, Tine – which has a monopoly on the nation’s dairy industry – has now put the use of Bovaer on hold until they have carried out an investigation.
Then, awkwardly, it turns out that cows are pretty much carbon neutral if not working on the capture plus side, as anyone with half a brain fart could tell you. This was determined by real scientists doing real research, not some Green weenie think tank looking for yet another simple pleasure to remove and another million-dollar grant to scam.
The University of Nebraska has called out the misleading narrative on cow burps & methane on climate change:

...“They have not accounted for the capture part, they only account for methane being released. Carbon capture in soil and grass - helped out by cow grazing and manure - can far outweigh the emissions from cattle. Grasslands can take up more CO2 and carbon in the soil and plants, that offsets the CO2 that cattle are producing but it also offsets the methane.”
Yes, they were going to strip all of life's simple pleasures from us and replace them with fifteen-minute cities... and bugs.
WE WILL NOT EAT THEIR DAMN BUGS
That became something of a rallying cry over the past two years, even as more and more desperate efforts were made - and more money blown - trying to foist creepy crawlies on the public whether they wanted it or not.

I don't care how many glossy articles about cockroaches and mealworms one published, it wasn't happening.
In Europe, the sneaky Brussels bastards started allowing bug meal into food - tell me again how they're so much pickier about their food ingredients'purity than we are - and clever citizens came up with a way to decode the bugspeak ingredient panel.
"We will NOT eat the bugs" 🐞 🐜 🐛 has become reality.

You can set that cup of bugyurt right back on the shelf.
Well, no cultist has ever been averse to dumping good money after bad, and so it was with high-tech bug farmers.
A year ago, in October, I told you about a French company that was raising big capital to switch from raising insects for animal food in order to be able to corner the people food bug market. The cleverly named Ÿnsect already had bug farms up and running - they just had to refine them for people's palates.
The money flowed in like mosquitoes to a Florida picnic in July...
...The French company closed a €160 million, or $175 million, financing round, bringing the total amount raised so far to about $625 million. It’s shifting away from animal feed – such as mealworms fed to fish – to high-margin pet food and food ingredients to boost profit amid soaring energy, raw materials and debt costs.
...and the EU cleared the deck for them.
...ZOMG! Bugs are SO the future that the climate cultists at the European Union gave their blessing to "insect meals" being included in food stuffs.
The maggot-like larvae of lesser mealworms — a type of shiny black beetle — and house crickets will become the third and fourth insects that can be sold as food for people in the European Union. Eight more applications await approval.
On Tuesday, the EU gave the green light to the sale of the larvae in powder, frozen, paste and dried forms. The crickets can be sold as partially defatted powder.
Tragically for the EU, American cultists, and WEF's plan of bug nation domination, the people who were intended to eat them just weren't buying the hype, the need, or bug any damn thing.
For all its lofty goals and advantages, Ÿnsect blew through $600M and is now in liquidation after declaring bankruptcy at the beginning of the month...
French startup Ÿnsect shot into the spotlight when “Iron Man” star Robert Downey Jr. touted its merits on the “Late Show” during Super Bowl weekend 2021. Now, nearly four years later, the insect farming company has been placed into judicial liquidation — essentially bankruptcy — for insolvency.
The company’s demise is hardly a surprise, as Ÿnsect had been embattled for months. Still, there is plenty to unpack about how a startup can go bankrupt despite raising over $600 million, including from Downey Jr.’s FootPrint Coalition, taxpayers, and many others.
Ultimately, Ÿnsect failed to fulfill its ambition to “revolutionize the food chain” with insect-based protein. But don’t be too quick to attribute its failure to the “ick” factor that many Westerners feel about bugs. Human food was never its core focus.
Instead, Ÿnsect focused on producing insect protein for animal feed and pet food, two markets with very different economics and margins that the company never quite chose between.
...even though it had hedged its people-bug bet with animal and fish bug protein.
We’re not interested in eating bugs? Shocker.

A large France based insect farming-processing company, Ynsect, went bankrupt last week. (They intended to have a plant in Eastern Nebraska.) Insect protein costs two to ten times more than soy or fish meal. Ynsect was plagued by… pic.twitter.com/EO6O5NVLDE
...Ynsect was plagued by regulatory compliance as well as transportation challenges, along with inconsistent nutritional quality. Oh, and finally…. people still aren’t sold on eating insects. The premium pet-food niche is more promising, but it’s far too small to support giant industrial insect factories.
Yet another meat replacement company eats dirt.

The French @Ynsect startup had raised $600 million ‘to revolutionise the food chain’ with bug protein.
That’s 600 million gone; shut down.

...Goodness, it’s frustrating that so much regenerative food could be produced, but no, it’s not shiny enough.
Billions $ wasted; the investor lesson hasn’t been learnt yet.
Yet people, especially the young, are returning to meat, especially beef.
There’s a need for more processing facilities so farms can steward the land and compete for profitable market share.
Eat real red meat and animal fat; buy the best you can.
For all intents and purposes, the dead bug domination dreams have dead bugged.
All they had to do to save everyone the time, trouble, and money was listen to us.
Oh, gosh - I love happy endings.
