Here’s Why Eating Bugs Might Save The World

by 18 mins ago

The global population is expected to reach a whopping 11 billion people by the end of this century. That’s a whole lot of mouths to feed. In this video, The Economist explains why eating bugs is a cheap and environmentally friendly way to increase the world’s food supply. Take a look for yourself:

Related: This Is The Hardest You Will Ever Laugh At A Lizard Eating Bugs

So to break that down for you, here’s why eating bugs could save the world someday:

Bugs are healthier than meat is.
Edible insects contain essential vitamins like protein, calcium, fiber, iron, and zinc. A serving of grasshoppers has the same amount of protein as a serving of steak does — but the grasshoppers have way less fat and calories.

Raising bugs is inexpensive.
Harvesting insects requires very little technology and requires less land and water than raising livestock does. This means countries that can’t afford to raise livestock will be able to raise bugs — and, in the process, create more job opportunities for their residents.

Eating bugs is good for the environment.
Insects are a more sustainable source of food than livestock is. Livestock production produces a ton of greenhouse gas emissions — even more than driving cars does! — and this harms the environment. Raising insects generates far fewer emissions.

Sounds pretty convincing, right? The only downside is that, well, bugs are gross. Nobody wants to be like that kid in their kindergarten class who always ate bugs during recess.

This Woman Will Poop On Your Doorstep If You Don’t Clean Up After Your Dog

by 18 mins ago

Attention dog owners of Los Angeles: If you don’t clean up after your pooch, then you’ll have to clean up after Beverly Grove resident Annie Preece. Or at least that’s what she threatens, if she finds another doggie present on her lawn:

Poop signImgur

Preece’s not-so-neighborly note first appeared on Reddit earlier this month and has since gone viral. You’ve got to admire her dedication to the cause. The message is so elegantly written — the straightforward topic sentence draws attention to her thoughtful persuasive arguments, which smoothly transition into a vividly detailed conclusion.

“I would never really do this, but it got the point across,” Preece — who, in addition to being a superstar note-writer, is also a street artist and muralist — told KTLA TV.

Still, clean up after your pets, folks. The only kind of poop it’s acceptable to leave for anyone is the poop emoji.

We Have A Lot Of Feels About California’s New Cat Cafe

by 18 mins ago

We have some awesome news for people in L.A. who are too lazy to take care of a pet but want something warm to cuddle with: Now you can play with kittens without cleaning up after them.

A Catfe (= cat + cafe) — a.k.a. “a Starbucks petting zoo with cats” — is popping up in Los Angeles’ Chinatown from October 2nd to 5th, reports LA Weekly.

Cat in coffee cup

After seeing the success of cat cafes in Tokyo, founder Carlos Wong was inspired to bring Catfe to the U.S. He began a Kickstarter to fund the event less than a year ago, and now it’s already become the real deal.

The “LACatfe” will have plenty of cats available for petting, cuddling, and — most importantly — adopting. Wong teamed up with Chinatown BID and Best Friends Animal Society Los Angeles, a no-kill animal shelter, to make everyone’s wildest cat dreams come true.

“I found it interesting how people interacted with the cats while they [were] having their snacks and drinks and all that,” Wong said in his Kickstarter video.

He goes on to explain that people who aren’t able to keep pets at home — because they don’t have the time or resources to take care of them, for example — enjoy visiting pet cafes to get their fill of cat cuddles.

One guy really waned to find out. So he raced the Tube — London’s subway system — from one stop to the next. The results are super impressive. Watch the full video below:

We gotta hand it to you, dude. Even if you’re not quite faster than the train, it was pretty much a tie. And we thought we were extreme for subtly racing against whoever’s next to us on the treadmill.
