Did you know that salmon has omega-threes in it? Quite a lot, in fact. Wow.

But did you know that “omega-threes” isn’t actually a Megaman baddie? Yeah, I know, right? It’s actually a phospholipid containing polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are the kind of really good fats you need in your diet.

Naturally, you, as a human (or an exceptionally talented gerbil, resourceful enough to use a computer to access snackable gaming content) will want to get a decent amount of omega-three oils.

Lovely, healthy omega-threes.

You know who doesn’t do well when consuming these polyunsaturated wonders? Androids.

Krillin has to be very careful when making a husband-wife picnic. And, if you’re 2B from NiER Automata, it’s not advised you throw caution to the wind when you go out fishing by deciding to chow down on one of your scaly catch - it’ll pretty much kill you outright.

I mean, it won’t stop you sado-masochists out there from forcing the poor lassie to chomp down on an entire mackerel, knowing the repercussions, but the game even reminds you with a pop-up message before you commit to the brutal act of pescecide, asking you, “androids can’t eat fish, you moron. Confirm?”, before you mash the confirm button.

You evil sod, you.
