... and that is why i don't eat mushrooms
I hate that they don't name the mushroom
Edit: it's Paxillus Involutus
As a kid, I was taught that any gilled mushroom is an automatic "absolutely NOT" and any spongy mushroom is okay, if I recognize it and it doesn't turn blue when I cut into it. Seems like that rule of thumb is holding up here
It's important to know that any rule like that doesn't necessarily hold up if you move just a few hundred kilometers.
By the way, the German guy who died was actually based and it's a shame he was the one to pass away:
A few highlights from his 1925 article: "The destruction of the idea of the people by racial mania: A reckoning with H. Günther's 'Racial studies of the German people'" that was later burned by the nazis: (Keep in mind though, it is still very racist - in that it considers the existence of biological races to be a scientific fact)
A couple quotes
It is astonishing, with what minimum of anthropological knowledge the political idea of race works.
95% of all Germans owe their existence to such a "sin"! [the sin of bastardization - that is the mixing of "races"]
The anti-Semites have no choice but to either drop their accusations against the Jews or extend them to the German people: a decision that will be interesting to see.
So they [Jews] have just as much Nordic blood in Germany as the Swiss or the Bavarians, and they have special kinship ties with the Bavarians due to their common Dinaric-Foreign Asian influence! ¹
Footnote 1: Just take a look at a picture of the leader of the Bavarian People's Party!
The all-round "scientific" expansion of this racial world view does indeed have something impressive about it, at least for young people, and one will do well to be prepared for a corresponding impact on contemporary history.
You can see what Günther knows; even the soul colors! How does he know them? [...] If he hadn't recently interpreted the “soul colors” as “favorite colors”, one would indeed be tempted to think that he has clairvoyant abilities.
Günther's approach is that of our weather prophets who, "based on years of observations of the relationship between the moon and the weather", present a weather forecast for the next 100 years to an uncritical audience.
The well-known saying: Friesus non cantat [Frisians cannot sing], together with the low musical productivity of England, does not speak for the claimed musical talent of the northern race.
There's like 10 pages more but I'm too lazy to finish reading it.
Love these insights, thanks for posting
So this is svinushka, my babushka loved them.
You soak them in weak vinegar overnight. You boil them 3 times changing the water each time and then you can fry them with onions. Delicious.
My gradpa also loved them but he died young
Grandpa only boiled twice
He boiled for his sins
I am intrigued... Perhaps stereotypically
Disseminated intravascular coagulation, DIC, death is coming.
- They didn't get the memo.
I looked at the wiki page someone linked and it took until 1980s for a scientist to link the mushroom to a specific antigen it had, and was only labeled as poisonous in most cookbooks by the 90s.
So the story could be believable
You forgot to account for the fact that people are fucking morons.
Despite the poisonings, Paxillus involutus is still consumed in parts of Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, where people die from it every year.[71][72][73][74

Well can't fix that, just like you can't fix random people trying to get in the worst caves in existence

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
