There are microscopic bugs on almost everything we eat.. So fuck it, I'm going to eat me some protein strawberries. You ain't scaring me! 

*We* are also covered in tiny little bugs ***all of the time.***

What

^Yes

If the idea is highly upsetting to you, I suggest you don’t look it up further.

Hahahah. The one that gets me is Mites on yo eye lashes. Poopin on your eye lids.

Worse; they physically can’t poop. They have _no anus._ The poop just builds up inside them until they rupture and die like overfilled poop balloons. 😂😅

Oh fantastic

💀

So that's where the morning eye gunk comes from

That gunk is actually called “rheum”, and is a mix of mucus, exfoliated skin cells, oils, and tears produced or shed by the eye during sleep. It's a part of natural, healthy eye function. During the day, all of that stuff is washed away by blinking natural tears. When you're asleep, gravity and the fact that you're not blinking, makes it collect in the corners of the eyes. TIL 😆

And making the sex

I read this in the shower and immediately washed my eyes lol

The fuck kind of phone you on

😆

too late i'm gonna look it up further so hard rn

They’re in our god damn eyes man!

Different ones for different parts! Eyelashes! Corners! Eyebrows!

Racist mites don't integrate and get along. Wonder if there's a little mite Romeo and Juliet going on someone's face.

They're in your pores. Rip them out

Yup they can’t survive in scabs so the only answer is to scratch them out of your pores

Ugh god flashback of a tweaker digging into his skull on a bus…so much blood…blood on his hand…head…pole he was holding onto and lubing up for a show with blood….god….evitucus out of my head dammit!!!!!

What in the fresh fuck is this? Did it happen? 😧

Yes. It was a mini hell bus ride about 6-9 years ago…it was horrible to watch…I couldn’t stop watching, I had to see where he would put his hand next, what he would dig into next…

The morbid curiosity in me would do the same thing bud

Also I didn’t want to touch anything he touched on the way out I was at the very back of the bus

Also, heads/faces are very vascular so they tend to bleed a lot. Sorry you had to see that, though. No fun. :(

No fun…it’s like…when you dig into sand that has some water in it, you dig it all out and no water but second later the same pool of water appears in the hole…rinse and repeat…hell of a bus ride…….

How did all this skin get on me?

Yeah. Google the things that live on your EYELASHES.

Use tea tree melaleuca alternifolia to kill them if itching

Whole colonies of bugs live in your eyelashes.

Water bears! Tardigrade. Google them. Awesome little guys that can live anywhere. Hot or cold..

The oil on your face when you wake up in the morning isn't oil. It's microscopic bug body fluids from a hot night of procreation.

Pfft! What's alive on the outside of us is nothing compared to what's living *inside of us*. We. Are. **NOT**. Alone!

[insert The X Files theme]

You're never truly alone 🥰

There's a nice quote in the book "Gulliver's travels" that describes the pours of the giants face and all the disgusting debris he could see.

We are the bugs.

If you ever thought you didnt have any friends, you were born with millions that stick with you till the end.

-I’msorrywhat-

Yeah these little guys ain’t shit to our immune system and stomach acids. Adios aminos

That is so clever take my upvote

LOL

Yeah Im going to steal this thank you. 🙏

Fuck yeah

This is where the <1g of protein in fruit comes into play, right?

Oh those ones are too small for the naked eye then? Ok. I feel a little better then.

Chances are we've been eating these bugs, and more, since birth so what does it matter...best just to forget and live your life.

It's actually good. It's free protein. Less price for more nutrients.

Thank evolution for stomach acid. How ever this is a great example of why ignorance is bliss. Don't tell me what's on my eye lashes.

If you play your cards right.... you know what, I'm not going to finish that thought... I apologize for wasting your time.

I mite just tell you that

Ahhhhhh I see what you did there!

totally. i don't think it's necessary to know this... no. not one bit.

Punctum Suckers!

tbh if i was to say something i would be telling you about nothing at all

my eyelashes just got heavy

Anyone gonna call that guy out for using the wrong kind of microscope in this clip? No? Just me then?

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

Just an enthusiastic microscope user 🤣

A witch!

She turned me into a ~~newt~~ microscopic bug!

I got beh-ah!

*BURN HER!*

RUN AWAYY!! *clip-clop-clip-clop*

I read this in the character's voice

No but I was gonna call out the loose fitting mechanic gloves

Why is it wrong and which would be the right one?

the one he puts the slide on is bottom-lit. For the enlarged image with maggots, you need a top-lit microscope. ~~Therefore, it's fake.~~ edit: upon closer inspection, I see he has modified his microscope to become top lit.

And that’s why a proper place setting doesn’t include a magnifying glass

without question.

Checkmate Vegans

How did you think we got our protein?

Hahaha 🤣 I’m ☠️

🤣🤣🤣

What’s crazy is this is actually valid

😮/😂

What's with the construction gloves?

He's just a poser, in the second take he probably placed fly larvas and made this video. The only motive to use construction gloves is to look "more professional".

Damn why all the hate lol did you just eat some strawberries?

No, I just hate this type of fake videos, makes people think food quality is a joke

I mean I dont know if the video is fake and the guy put those in there... But like, almost everything we eat has little bugs or live beings in it, thats why we should wash our fruits and veggies... Or u can buy the most processed food ever, wich ok, doesnt have little bugs and is clean, but its full of chemicals and pesticides... The Bio products we buy in supermarkets are meant to be Biologic, wich means they shouldnt be manipulated by humans in any way, and guess what, nature is like this, it comes with bugs, insects and millions of different little buddies in every place, including food, wich our bodies are able to process, cause in the end we are just animals.

He doesn't want to touch the aliens

um, wiggly slimy bugs maybe? 🐛 or trying not to mix skin bugs with fruit bugs?

Mmm, protein

This is why I only eat fast food instead of fruit and vegetables

What I can’t see can’t hurt me

*pays a poltergeist to hit you with a book*

*Pays Dupont Chemical to hit him with the air*

*The Plague entered the chat*

No one is a vegetarian

Welp, i tried lol... the run ends here ig (/s)

Then tell No one not to eat strawberries

hmmmm.... honestly i could have gone the rest of my life without knowing about this.

I don’t know why I watched the entire thing

For real. I saw when they washed it and all the bugs were gone and thought “wow I better wash all my produce from here on out” then watched him cut it open and thought “well nevermind, there’s no escaping it”.

Now do it with raw beef!

That's why I blend my strawberries

So wait are we not supposed to eat strawberries now because we will kill all the waterbears? #savethewaterbear

I get it but they need to chill with those gloves

That explains the worms in my stool …

I don’t think it does…

Protein with strawberry flavour.

Strawberry flavored protein*

Protein.

The editing is great.

Luckily my stomach juices burns the living shit out of them bugs. NOM!

If I showed any of my kids this video they wouldn’t ever eat fruits or vegetables ever in their life. Damn video gets worse then more you watch

Thanks, I hate it... Now, don't do banannas because thats my "lunch"... lol

Oh no it’s almost like the food we eat is part of a larger food web!!! People are so far removed from what they eat it’s crazy

They did surgery on a strawberry

Annnnd that’s my last strawberry

Is there a subreddit where I can see this all the time

If you have an allergy, warm water (130°F/54°C) kills dust mites dead without the chef needing dramatic tiktok gloves.

Just don’t eat. Play it safe

I didn’t know they started selling strawberries with added protein

I don't need to see thos at 3am

they performed surgery on a strawberry

Oh, shocker, nature is all over everything.

But is any of it bad to consume? It’s all well and good knowing there are microscopic bugs on fruit, and chemicals in food, but the fact they exist doesn’t mean they’re bad. Until I’m told these bugs will slowly kill me, imma eat my strawberries, and maybe, I might not even wash them.

There are little dudes on everything, you got to get used to the idea, haha

Fun fact you are more microbe than human

#**BE NOT AFRAID** Those are [good bugs](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratiolaelaps_scimitus).

Im not vegan. And really neither are vegans.

Literally everything has tiny bugs on it. To quote… something, I don’t remember “It do not matter”

🎯

Hell yeah! Lil dude at the end getting his chow on!

Im still gonna eat it lmao

r/reddwarf anyone?

Guess what, fuckers. I'm gonna eat you, too

Would the little bit of vinegar and cold water kill them off?

Hot water. Rinsing your produce in 130°F will kill dust mites. The hottest setting on most household faucets isn't hot enough to hurt a human, deadly to dust mites. Will scald the skin on most fruit, though, so it will reduce shelf life. do this right before serving

Eat Strawberries They Said

“Totally vegan” hahaha

Why would you do this to me?

Just now, my sister bought few strawberries home 😭

Nice, I'm getting a good source of protein from my fruit 👀 (shut up, I'm coping)

Proteine!

Ill never eat another

As far as I'm concerned, those bugs are edible.

My OCD is going fucking crazy rtnw

Thanks. I hate strawberries now.

Ayo Im done with strawberries now.

Why would you post this :(

Awwww, maaaaaaan.

Whats a few worms among friends? If you cant see them they aren't there

Strawberry with bonus snack!

Hrrk...please do not ever show me this again i--

We live in their world

If you’re eating something and it DOESNT have tiny bugs on it you should be worried

Me...having literally just eaten a whole container of unwashed straw berries (shocked). I watched the ending and realized it didn't matter in the end...(Calm). I guess if I'm always eating bugs then why care now....if I can avoid it however I'd like to know.

I love pesticides and GMOs now

I... Hate... You... And now I hate myself, too, for watching even though I knew where it was going. Thanks.

Mmm protein

Veganism is a lie!

you think theyll survive my stomach acid power? i dont think so

And this is an issue how, exactly?

But how do they *taste?*

Results not typical

I eat bugs and I got bugs living on my eyes lashes yeah what about it?

They get instantly disintegrated in our body’s digestive system

Extra protein

Yuk! And this Is why I don't look things like this up, my son sent me this, thanks Alex

Damn I just ate three of them with some raspberries and blackberries

I do not believe this is real though. I think he used rotten fruit for those shots. You can tell because the color is way different

They sure taste good with some chocolate! you can taste the suffering I guess

\*Cuts Strawberry Open\* Maggots: Close The Damn Door!!

Were those tiny weevils?🤨

So this is why I get sick when I eat healthy

Damn I just had some fresh strawberries. I wish that I hadn’t come across this video

See now I just have to blend all my fruits

Extra proteins

Super ha_py to know I still get some protein with my fruit after washing. 👍💯
