For those that dont know, fig fruits have dozens of dead wasps in them, but the wasps are so small they look like seeds at worst and arent dangerous to eat

The momma wasp goes to unpollinated fig fruit, its open top, its dumbass (the wasp) is techinically too big so it loses its wings and antenna so it cant leave the fig fruit now and is trapped

So while trapped it pollinated the inside "flowers" of the fig fruit its stuck in, has babies, dies, the babies have s***with each other, the men babies die because theyre born without wings or mouths and are only born to f*** and die, & the girl wasps now incest mothers go find another unpollinated fig to kill themselves in again and again with the same process all within 2 to 3 days, which is their life cycle while boys is 1 - we love our girl bosses

And all the dead incest boys wasps in the fig fruit (which people do eat and so do other primates) get eaten by the hairy or non hairy primate

So back to my question 🙋

is that vegan?

This aint the only fruit nor vegetable that has a similar process btw

Happy Friday ☺

bro idk I never rly ate figs now that I think about it always been on dates I hope dates aren't filled with dead bugs coz i won't eat em then
just makes me feel queasy

It’s worth noting that by the time of human consumption, the wasps would no longer be “there” in any substantive way, they would have long ago been absorbed back into the fig (also domesticated figs are, in general, not pollinated in this way). Nevertheless, fig-wasp symbiosis is very interesting, and just one corner of the rich tapestry of life!

I haven’t had a fig newton in so long
