“waaaaahh it’s not a proper meme weaaahhh”
Let’s just save some time here.
What is a proper meme anyways?
In the 90s we had a meme.
"WAZZZZUUUUPPPPP!!!!"
And everybody did it, as they danced the macarana, and ate that taco bell dog.......wait........
Fun fact: chihuahuas probably began as livestock. The Aztecs ate them. I let my Chiweenie know that on a regular basis when he's a naughty boy that he could easily be dinner.
I didn't know that about Chihuahuas. Guinea Pigs were livestock too, but that's much less surprising when you see how dopey and delicious they are.
People still eat Guinea pigs in parts of South America.
Here's more than you could ever possibly want to know about it:

I went into a bit of a guinea pig hole and found this other random guinea pig fact:
Honestly, they're not wrong. Guinea pigs are social animals and live in large families. Same is true with ferrets. You really shouldn't have just one of either. People treat them like sort of lesser pets to dogs or cats, but they still require their own special and humane care.
(Yes, I have been reading a lot about Guinea pigs lately for reasons involving giving a teenager reasons to not get them. Or ferrets.)
Get chickens!
Like guinea pigs, they are dopey, social, and delicious. Quite fun to watch, actually.
Unlike ferrets, they also provide food for you and your family nearly every day. And they'll offer amazing free fertilizer for your lawn or garden.
They are cheap to purchase and care for. And they are pretty self-sufficient and hardy. Cleaning their coop and run is the biggest task (and makes for good compost), as long as they've got food, water, and a space safe from predators, they'll pretty much fend for themselves. And they'll live a life of luxury compared to their factory-farmed brethren.
I was against it until my wife (a vegan, of all people) came home with 6 baby chicks one day. And they've really been growing on me.
Edit: Chicken tax
They are very delicious, although they have a very high bone-to-meat ratio.
When I read this I was reminded of Chinchiladas from Archer.
Aaaaand now it’s time to go watch archer from the top
