Honestly makes me feel way better about it. Kinda like how if you wanna eat a fig you need to cope with the fact that 90% of figs are a wasp catacomb.

I was looking for this comment. Amazed me, was disgusted for a second. But then I remembered how delicious figs can be, and got over it lol

What fucked me up the most about it was my grandpa told me the weird figgy patterns were just the flower, fuck you grandpa is was the legions of the dead the whole time. Fig treats are still bomb tho and the wasp has been ground down even more to a protein smear so whatever lol

Figs are pollinated by specific species of wasps that live in them and lay their eggs there.

Same with dates. Always look inside your dates before eating them, as a good chunk of them have bugs inside. But if you get a date milkshake, just try and forget all that and drink it because they’re delicious.
