If we had evolved into "lizard men" instead of humans, there would likely be a decent amount of idiots who would try their own tail-meat. amirite?

Or the idiots would be the smart thing since lizards are known to grow their tail back.

Boom!

Solving the worlds food problems and feeding the poor in one simple wag of the tail

You mean like rule 34 but for food?

Does it grow back?

If it did, that would be cool in survival situations. I wouldn't judge a fellow lizard man if he was in a situation and he tore off his own tail for food.
