>>11980379
Flour is cheap as fuck. Dump that shit out, Anon.

>>11980379
Was your ex a goblin by any chance?

>>11980379
Extra protein, fagit

>>11980388

>>11980379
Are you going to be less tough than a girl? Your friend is a complete sissy and you should rail his asshole to show him who's boss.

it's pretty disgusting but most likely not that big of a deal if they are actually dead, especially if you use it for high temperature cooking/baking

if they are alive on the other hand and laying eggs and shit thats a whole different story

>>11980379
Your girlfriend secretly hated you and wanted you to eat bugs.

>>11980415

>>11980391
:( Yeah in retrospect it seems like that was poor advice on her part.

>>11980386
My hesitation is I don't like throwing out food if it's not completely necessary. But I don't even really use flour, so I'll dump it.

I wasn't sure whether people often ignored the bugs in their flour. But it sounds like that's considered in poor taste.

>>11980379
Your ex was from a brown people country? Because that's what they do in brown people countries.

>>11980767
Flyover state, rural town--real rural, like a town of 300.

This container of three-year-old flour with upwards of 100 dead bugs in it is one of the final things I have left of her.

>>11980777
BOY throw that shit out

>>11980379
Yeah, it's normal. There will always be eggs in your flour. Keep it long enough and they will hatch.

Bugs are unclean you throw out the flour

>>11981008
So people who don't experience this means they go through their flour quick enough before the eggs hatch?

>>11980379
i burn it fire then i use it

>>11981017
No. Sometimes they find their way in, sometimes they don't. They don't cone from the factory.

bet that girl didn't mind sucking dick, swallowing loads, and eating ass either.

there's a lesson here

>>11981154
She always said she didn't know how many guys she had relations with, so I figured it was five, like me.

>>11981167
you fucked five guys? you should have mentioned you were gay. it matters.

>>11981017
Maybe, but first and foremost it means enough humidity entered the package to stimulate the eggs to hatch. This is why people keep starch in airtight containers or the freezer.

>>11981088
They do come from the factory in the vast majority of cases.

>>11980379

>>11981167
I kek'd. Good thread OP

You do realise flour is made from ground up wheat OP

of course it’s normal to get a certain quantity of bugs in a truckful of wheat

>>11980452
flour isn't even food
you can't eat flour straight up, it's an ingredient you have to use in combination with other ingredients
Think about it like this
If the flour is tainted and then you go on to make food with it, then all of the ingredients you used are wasted

You're saving money, time, and your health because you're not mixing gross shit into your food

>>11980379
It's normal I worked in a factory making bread, if manufacturers aren't throwing out 25lbs of flour because of a bug basically everything you're eating has trace amounts insects

>>11982014
If you sift it first and are baking at even a moderately high heat, there would be no risk of disease or grossness.

Okay, bros. If you're sure I should dump it. It doesn't seem like much, and honestly it's been easy to ignore them because it's not like the flour is covered in bugs.

>>11982491
Only one person is saying you should, and his argument is so ridiculous he's probably not even serious.

>>11980379
Things to do
>Seal it up in a container
>Store in a cool, dry location
>Sift out any bugs before using
>Optional: microwave the flour to kill bacteria growth before using

things not to do
>waste a bunch of flour without significant cause and remorse

>>11982510
>>11982499
So, keep this remnant of a dead relationship?

She was cheating on you. That's why she didn't care if you ate bugs.

>>11982520
To be completely honest, there were texts from men she hid from me and deleted. But I don't think that has anything to do with this flour.

>>11980379
Why do you think these were invented. Flour beetles are one of the more common bugs that can be in flour. They're harmless but it's disgusting having them in there. You can sift them out but a bag of generic all purpose flour is $1.50 you can always buy more. To prevent bugs always seal up your flour well and inspect it after opening it.

>>11982533
forgot pic

>>11982513
No, make it into a cake, write "thanks for the memories" on it with icing, and turn up on her doorstep to present it as a gift.

BUGS IN FLOUR IS THE KIND OF SHIT THAT GETS RESTAURANTS SHUT DOWN PERMANENTLY

YES, EVEN IF THE BUGS ARE DEAD

1. Throw out any flour that has ever had any traces of bugs in it
2. Buy new flour
3. Put the new flour in a big, locking tupperware container (if you don't have one, buy one first, then put all the clean flour in it), either loose, or just the entire bag itself, as long as the container can securely close
4. Never leave it open, always close the container and lock it immediately after using any flour

Bugs in flour is NOT OKAY. Saying it's okay comes from boomers who say shit like "just cut the bits of mold off the cheese, it's still good", and "I know that bottle of salad dressing is a year past expiry, but expiry dates are just a recommendation, it's still good". It comes from living (or having parents who lived) in the depression-era, where you never threw out a single scrap of stale, moldy, rotten food unless it would literally instantly kill you if you ate it. It became such a constant habit that people got used to it, and carried those conventions even long after the days of extreme scarcity, ESPECIALLY in rural areas, where old habits die hard.

We can easily afford safe, clean, healthy flour for cooking now. We can afford to discard dirty, infested flour. There is no reason to be keeping flour that has at any point been infested with vermin.

>>11982658
deranged and out of touch

>>11982527
It did. It's all connected, anon.

>>11982533
Those "flour bugs" are weevils FYI, surprised no one else gave the name of these little guys

>>11982542
holy kek

This is some wierd flex shit test.

Throw that flour out. Or Kung fu it and mail it to port au prince with some nigger name on the package.

>>11980379
Dat bitch was serious ghetto, anon.
Good thing she's an ex.
Get rid of that bug-ass flour and get some new.
That shits so cheap anyway.

>>11982658
Can confirm.
Have experience with ancient relatives who experienced the "Great Depression".
They save all sorts of shit. They will even try and pawn off rotten/spoiled food on others, rather than throw it out.
Most of the women in my family are obsessed with hoarding all sorts of crap, like used tin foil, rubber bands, string, paper clips, plastic bags, you name it.

I swear I've seen this thread before

>>11982836
God I hope I'm not the only one to have experienced this.

>>11982798
They're flour beetles. Not true weevils, though they are often called weevils colloquially so it's not strictly incorrect.

I’m the friend referenced in the post. Ex was gross, poster is certainly more disgusting!! Here is a recent photo of a wonderful dinner he recently prepared. I won’t scare anyone with pictures of his apartment.

>>11982542
OP needs to do this. What recipe should he use? Something simple in case he's not good at baking.

>>11980379
It's good that she's your ex. She's dumber than a box of rocks. Bugs in anything isn't natural unless she's pushing some hippy eat bugs bullshit like some people on this board.

>>11983300
>bugs aren't natural
wew

>>11980379
G

>>11983312
Great reading comprehension you have there. I didn't write that bugs aren't natural, I wrote that bugs aren't natural in human food and she and you come across as seriously stupid hippy types.
Please don't have kids.

>>11982537
I have a similar model that can hold up to 8 cups of flour and I love it.

>>11980379
>ex-girlfriend
i guess you picked the lesser of two weevils

>>11983331
hahahaa!!!!

>>11983325
They are natural. They are in plenty of human food, because that's what they do. They use their small size to get food. They're multifarious and unavoidable. Do you have a bag of flour in your home right now? There are beetle eggs in it. It can't be prevented.

>>11980777
>3yo flour
throw it out man, it's like $1 for 5lbs.

>>11983345
Don't bother. It's some fag who thinks he needs to be extra cleanly for no other reason then they're fucking anal retentive.

>>11980452
>I don't even really use flour
What are you even doing here?

>>11983300
I'm going to say something that is going to destroy your worldview and make you scream in horror. Bacteria is a natural part of the human diet and hygiene practices gets rid of the bacteria that produces vitamin B12 for us. I'll save my other redpills since I know you are delusional and easily frightened.
>AHH GERMS!!! SO SCARY

>>11980379
It's just extra protein, what's the issue? I bet you faggots are also adverse to using your own blood if you run out of egg.

>>11983509
I know it's fun to pretend, anon, but this is a fast food discussion board.
