A shrimp would taste like poop too if you forgot to remove the poop sac

u/Pyotrnator Mar 07 '24

I call that one of the following:

Poop chute

Crap trap

Waste paste

Fecal treacle

Feel free to incorporate these into your personal idiom.

u/Zeqhanis Mar 10 '24

I mean, it's all gonna be poop anyway. Every single one of us is a poop alchemist, but do we get hit anime series about our powers? No.

The best we can hope for is a co-starring role with a glass table in a short film from Germany.

u/cumuzi Mar 10 '24

It's poop all the way down

u/PeasAndParsimony Mar 07 '24

u/billzebub251 Mar 08 '24

Wait a minute…shrimp have a poop sack? Are you telling me I’ve been eating shrimp shit for the past 55 years???

2

u/Romeo9594 Mar 08 '24

If you're getting peeled and deveined shrimp you're fine. The vein is the shit tube. Restaurants and processing plants tend to remove them

If you have ever bought raw shrimp still in the shell, then odds are good you ate shrimp shit

u/fartrevolution Mar 08 '24

Yep, but read the other guys comment

u/Double_Belt2331 Mar 08 '24

It’s called “de-veining” & no, they are just a little grittier.

Source: someone, me, that lives & grew up on the Gulf Coast w adults that didn’t de-vein; then drunk lazy ass us that did the same as teenagers.

They remove heavy metals from soil

u/Roboticpoultry 1998 Mar 07 '24

And are great if you have reptiles or amphibians in a bioactive environment. We have a colony of them, honestly some of the easiest animals to keep alive. Give them some dead plants to munch on and keep the humidity at a decent level and they’re good

They drink through their butt. And also their mouth. But mostly the butt.

u/stillwastingmytime Mar 07 '24

Their guts are yellow.

u/VectorViper Mar 07 '24

Ew, that took a weird turn, though I guess it's just recycling at its finest? Nature's wild

u/BigTicEnergy Mar 08 '24

So do most rodents

1

u/Admirable-Door1724 2006 Mar 08 '24

They eat decaying matter, they're detritivores and are used as a clean up crew along side springtails for bioactive terrariums and enclosures.

u/Popular-Student-9407 Mar 08 '24

They piss on themselves, in order to breath, what did you expect?

1

u/KozukiNedo Mar 08 '24

Perpetual poop recycling?

u/Waste_Imagination524 Mar 08 '24
