Inedible as in anything that isn't food (ranging from something that would be dangerous, like glass, poisonous plants, or uranium, to something that is safe to eat but unpleasant with no nutritional value, like cardboard.) Eating the thing will be safe and painless.

A Billionaire maybe

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 8 points 1 month ago

Im not sure that'd count, as while there are social and legal repercussions and a higher risk of a few diseases, human meat, billionaire or not, isnt inheritly toxic or such, and does contain nutritional value.

Lava. Like it looks sooo tasty

I've had dreams of crunching on rocks, not completely unlike the dude from the never ending story. But there is something about the smell of hot asphalt. I know, I'm weird. But something about that smell is intoxicating.

"Where shall we have dinner?"

"Lets eat up the road"

"No thanks, I don't like asphalt"

Racism. As in, gather up all the hate and bigotry in a big ol' ball, and gobble it down.

Definitely uranium. Those calories are light

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 month ago

I wish I could safely store uranium in my belly as an energy source. Imagine how little I'd have to eat.
