I had originally meant for the meme to communicate Person A buying one $25 card for Person B and one $25 card for Person C and Persons B and C buying the same for each other and Person A simultaneously, which would be $25 * 2 * 3 = $150 spent.
However, I also figure a non-simultaneous gift exchange could occur, which engenders a couple of other scenarios:
Person A could buy one $25 card for Person B, which Person B re-gifts to Person C, who then re-re-gifts it back to Person A, which would be $25 spent.
Alternatively, Person A buys one $25 card for Person B, Person B buys one $25 card for Person C, and Person C buys one $25 card for Person A. Each person then re-gifts their card to the remaining person who has never owned the card. The three original cards are again re-gifted from their third owner back to their original owner. $25 * 3 = $75 spent.

Nah, codeberg is just another company, this could happen there just as it did on gh, granted it’ll be less likely to happen there. They need to move to git platform controlled by them.
Can’t wait for Codeberge to figure out federation on Activity Pub. Then other groups of people can host their own instance while we slowly move away from centralized repo hosts.
I don’t think the person who made the dish and wrote the caption are the same person, I’m going to guess this is a different dish entirely, albeit with a viscerally disturbing presentation.
Why? Other than being an ugly fish, this is no different than stuffed crab, stuffed clams, oysters Rockefeller, lemon stuffed grilled branzino, etc.
These poor fish are just ugly as hell and the dish itself taken out of context and labeled “Tacos.” I’d never thought about it before your comment but it seems to me that including the whole animal on the plate is the least wasteful and most respectful way to eat it. When you can see its face, there’s no hiding that what you’re eating was once sentient. How much is wasted is left for the person holding the fork to decide.
I believe this is trunk fish, which is a Caribbean delicacy and absolutely delicious. My guess is that they have already minced and seasoned the meat and are experimenting by smoking the meat inside the hollowed out fish.
Lovecraftian horrors aside, that actually does sound really, really good if done well. I kinda want to try it now… The outer fish-body isn’t eaten, but just to give flavor when smoking it, right?
I think it would be a way to retain the juices and flavors, and so the meat doesn’t dry out during the smoke process. Probably also a way to mellow the smoke flavor in the mix. The body would end up REALLY smokey and bitter but the meat inside would have hints of smoke. It really does seem as something that would be delicious.
