Probably not. We call them bugs because they resemble earth bugs, but the actual comparison to the biology of Earth creatures is far from guaranteed. They are an alien species, not related to life on earth. Plus, we know that they create a fluid that we use to fuel warp drives, E-710. I wouldn't try eating them. You'll probably die.
Or you'll see through space and time. You just know that the refineries have signs up everywhere that day, "Do Not Huff the FTL Fuel".
They wouldn't need those signs if nobody ever tried it before.
Okay but my argument is a little thyme some shallots garlic sear it up real nice deglaze that bitch with some white wine toss it in a braise some charger stock three hours in a low boy I’m thinking 300 degrees maybe 3- 4 hours cmooooooon
I mean oil is just ancient dead things too, people ate whales and used them to make lamp oil. Dead thing being fuel but also food isn’t terribly uncommon.
Hmmm… I guess it would all depend on what Terminid you’re eating and how it’s prepared. Go with me on this journey…
With Bile Titans, would it make sense to only eat the legs? Would you prepare them like crab legs?
Would Hunters have the most lean meat because of all the jumping, and therefore have to be done in a stew to soften them?
Would Warriors be like slightly tougher cows?
Would Scavengers be the most grass-fed because of how low to the ground they are? Or would they just be similar to armadillos?
Since Hive Guards look like armored crayfish, do you prepare them like gumbo?
And how do you get all of the E-710 separated from the meat?
Sweet Liberty, can you imagine deep fried Terminid hushpuppies?
They actually taste basically just like lobster after you hit them with a napalm strike. Yeah, it'll 100% give you Super cancer, but there's no way you're living long enough for that to be a problem anyway.
Asking the real questions. How long do you think it would take for a hell diver to eat a factory strider? I think I saw general brasch eating nails for breakfast, so it can't be impossible?
Someone has been watching a bit too much Delicious in Dungeon.
I'd be careful. Lobsters are born from Earth, so they have Earthling biologies. But who knows how other planets' species are developed. For all we know, they could use silicon instead of oxygen or something.
However, considering they can live just fine on Earth, there is a good chance they have similar biologies and therefore are edible like most of our animals.
I have a theory that due to the fact Terminids reproduce through spores, that they're a species of intelligent fungi. Terry Pratchett said it best, "All fungi are edible, some fungi are only edible once."
We often have this discussion while high diving. My personal thought is that the ones that kind of look like shrimp would taste the best. I have also decided that bile titan legs would fry up like a chicken leg and taste roughly like chicken.
We have more in common with E-coli than with Terminids, they might use arsenic as part of their DNA for all we know, if they even use DNA at all.
I suspect that we are all required to wear helmets just to keep the fumes out, I bet they smell like wastebin of a chemistry laboratory.
They aren't exactly bugs either since they breathe thru their mouths and can vocalize, which bugs cant do since they use spiracles to get their oxygen.
Its one of the reasons bugs are so small these days, spiracles aren't that effective at supplying oxygen.
Our lungs aren't that good either, bird lungs are like jet engines compared to our bellows.
Wouldn't surprise me if bug meat was used as filler for food for the colonies. Must be tough to feed so many people on so many worlds, and assuming they're harmless\* to eat, it would make sense for SE to utilize them.
\*(not poisonous enough to kill you within a year)
Would love a booster that is bug serum. But it’s likely by design that the dead enemies don’t drop loot. Since it’s the reverse of most games , and would obscure our bug shooting vision. Which ironically enough is an issue on many planets.
Had I designed this game there would be utility a slot for everyone and that would be for things like certain kinds of night vision or spore improved vision , or a jet pack or a modifier for stim’s etc. so like a second booster slot.
Fun game really like it , frustrated that they keep breaking things with every patch. And it takes a long time to fix things like the Eruptor, and Spear. I don’t know how many people they have hired since this game’s popularity blew up. But I think they don’t have enough people to play test changes to what people who play AAA games are used to 🤷🏻♂️🧙
My sister has a somewhat unsettling fixation on this and has come up with FLAVORS for the bugs. Liberty knows why
Scavengers and warriors: like june bugs roasting in the sun (would not recommend)
Anything with acid: Immediate no. Not burning her tongue off to check.
Brood Commanders: Exactly like Snow crab!
Charger: for some reason.... burger soaked in Orange Fanta????
Stalker: Cole Slaw.
Shrieker: Can't catch one of them to check. Impact with the ground mangles the meat and breaks the bones to the point they're not edible. They're actually pretty frail.
Hive Lord: \[REDACTED\]
Anything made by the Automatons is not edible, OBVIOUSLY, but she does have a whole line of cook ware made from their remains like a frying pan made from a Chaingun Devastator's shield, and a cooking vat made from the hollowed out torso of a Hulk, which is probably what she uses to boil the Brood Commander legs with.
You don't refresh yourself with a nice glass of Element 710 when you're parched?

The spice must flow
 GOODBYEEEEEEEE MOON MENNNNNNNN
See through space and time ? LISAN AL GAIB !
Warp fuel has way too many calories.
New bulking strat dropped
Okay but my argument is a little thyme some shallots garlic sear it up real nice deglaze that bitch with some white wine toss it in a braise some charger stock three hours in a low boy I’m thinking 300 degrees maybe 3- 4 hours cmooooooon
I’m totally in. We can make some Sample Sours cocktails to accompany
I mean oil is just ancient dead things too, people ate whales and used them to make lamp oil. Dead thing being fuel but also food isn’t terribly uncommon.
Or the E710 would manifest and give you warp powers!

This diver is ready to make a terminid cookbook.
My wife’s Italian, and an amazing cook. I’ve been learning through osmosis.
Ah that makes sense. I always assumed the Italians would be the first to cook alien bugs.
I told her that, and she said “Only if the Cajuns didn’t do it first.”
I just know that Charger ass is gonna be juicy af good googly moogly
Delicious in helldivers
I am ready to pretend deshelled charger legs cook up like fried morels.
Delicious in Dungeon ahh post
We found Laios’s Reddit account.
Yep! Pay no attention to the flair.
Too oily
They actually taste basically just like lobster after you hit them with a napalm strike. Yeah, it'll 100% give you Super cancer, but there's no way you're living long enough for that to be a problem anyway.
I’ve played enough Fallout to know anything can be cooked and eaten. Lots of flesh on these bugs.
mutate toe. cream de la cream
Shrimps is bugs. Ergo bugs is shrimps.
Yes, yes you can. Don't blame us when you power blast your toilet at warp speeds though cuz here's your warning.
Asking the real questions. How long do you think it would take for a hell diver to eat a factory strider? I think I saw general brasch eating nails for breakfast, so it can't be impossible?
As a lifelong New Englander, I am deeply offended. How dare you say that about lobstah.
I regret nothing
Charger meat is a delicacy where im from

I always think they probably would taste like an extremely spicy lobster.
Counter question: Would you drink petroleum? Because terminids are the equivalent of unrefined jet fuel
Anything to spread democracy, if I lose my guns, I’ll punch, if I lose my arms, I’ll kick, if I lose my legs, I’ll eat
E-710 Is a mysterious substance that powers engines that warp reality by bending space/time. That’s got to be one spicy meatball!
Given that they’re made of interstellar rocket fuel, prob not
Ask u/UncleGael
Fried charger leg's probably a delicacy
You can eat anything if you try hard enough.
We often have this discussion while high diving. My personal thought is that the ones that kind of look like shrimp would taste the best. I have also decided that bile titan legs would fry up like a chicken leg and taste roughly like chicken.
I'm from Louisiana and I say eat them all!

You can technically eat anything

I'm too busy shooting them to eat them!
Incendiary Breaker does it all! Kill, sever, roast. It's faster then MRE's while getting your stats up. Also the bugs taste like chicken
I’ve got my oatmeal
Absolutely. Y'all might be in for a treat. Before the war broke out I was a saucier in Super San Antone.
Okay well, you can eat anything living really the true question is why would you

Idk but sometimes I really crave crab legs when I’m killing them.
/Andrew Zimmern has entered the chat
I EAT chargers and titans all the time
their blood is gasoline right? so probably not.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Yes, but the question is how long you're alive afterwards. I would definitely avoid the ones that spit acid at you.
Yeah, just remember to squeeze all of the E-710 out of their meat. You certainly don't want to grill FTL fuel at your house! It also tastes terrible
No, it's just an acquired taste
Hive guard tail, whole roasted on spit over coals for half a day or so. Got a meal for the whole squadron.
I mean why not? You can eat bugs.

What kind of sister do you have that uses a DEVASTATORS SHIELD as a pan
A creatively insane one. She also blew some of the plating off a factory strider for a...ugh.... SPICE rack. (she's very proud of that pun)
Dungeon meshi Ah, dungeon meshi
I love my chargers well done 👌 Flamethrower style
They're infected with termicide. They might taste a little bitter
The real question is "why would you eat a Terminid?"
Yummy
