    Have we tried eating hippos? They seem like something that could be similar to pigs…😅

      No joke, there was a plan in the US to import hippos to the Mississippi watershed as farm animals to create an industry for “Lake Cow Bacon.”

      It would have been an ecological disaster on a scale never before witnessed in human history, but goddamn would it be hilarious to live in a world where everyone knows Americans as the stone cold motherfuckers that domesticated the goddamned aquatic murder tanks just because they take their bacon culture that seriously.
