99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.

Not quiet

98.99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death, 1% tastes good with butter. The the remaining 0.01% is estimated to have saved over half a billion lives.

And 0.00001% makes me see and feel funny things

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure the antibiotics also taste good with butter.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

What doesn't taste good with butter?

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Kale, raw fresh fruit, sushi.

[-] conc@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Plain yogurt, lettuce, candies.

[-] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

It ain't plain if it's with butter

And then there are the few lucky people who die a whole lot faster if they take that .01%

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 month ago

Ah, so there are 3 options- discomfort, death, and nutrition. Therefore, every time you eat a fungus, you have a 1/3 chance of dying. Thanks for the info!

True; some mold is actually medicine. Therefore you only have 1/4 chance of dying.

[-] spooky2092 9 points 1 month ago

1/5, some are hallucinogens

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 month ago

Yeah? Then successfully explain how statistics work, smart guy. But I warn you, there’s a 50% chance you’ll fail.

[-] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

It's actually 50% because it either kills you or is doesn't. Those are the two options.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

You both sound correct. No idea who to trust, so I guess there's a 50:50 chance that it's 50% or that it's one in three.

[-] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Just as believing in a deity gives you a 50% chance of salvation.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Oh, you like math? Name all the numbers.

Cheese also tastes good with butter.
