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

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 90 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 57 points 11 months ago

And 0.00001% makes me see and feel funny things

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 24 points 11 months ago

Pretty sure the antibiotics also taste good with butter.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 12 points 11 months ago

What doesn't taste good with butter?

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

Kale, raw fresh fruit, sushi.

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 11 months ago

1/5, some are hallucinogens

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 25 points 11 months ago

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

Or when growing in cheese.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

Cheese also tastes good with butter.

No one:

Everyone: adds a pointless “No one:” above perfectly valid memes

[-] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 37 points 11 months ago

And on top of that, a pointless Twitter comment.

I swear, every meme nowadays is three levels of reaction deep.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 months ago

But how will i drive engagement to my shitter page if i don't slap my username on every meme I find?

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 months ago

POV: Someone added a useless "no one" to their meme

Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans

Some moulds are totally fine, see blue cheese. Some mycelium schlongs are dangerous, see death caps.

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 11 months ago

"Mycelium schlong"

Linguistic creativity at its best.

"Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that give you explosive diarrhea?"

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 47 points 11 months ago

Whoa there... We eat mold too if they're the right type and on the right things.

Blue cheese would like a word.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago

This bacterium gives me the sniffles. This other bacterium liquefies and eats my muscles. But if I don't have enough of this other bacterium in me, I get violent explosive shits??

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 31 points 11 months ago

The Roquefort (French blue cheese) is made from the mold that grows on rye bread.

So even the moldy bread, in the right condition, can become a delicacy.

lactobacillus is everywhere. Truly the king of kings.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

If the french eat frogs that's fine, but when the south Americans do it everyone loses their minds.
