About a month ago, I bought a bag of beets and left most of them in the fridge (in the opened bag), naively thinking my family would eat them while I was away. Now they have grown these leaf-like thingys. Are they beyond salvation?

I want to give a character of mine a wound infection on his leg. Something severe enough to raise the stakes, but not lethal. Something that would be interesting to write about. The setting is very much pre-modern in terms of medicine.

So, instead of reading the rules and following, I decided to post a question completely irrelevant to this community

So, fun fact: some tarantulas keep little toads in their dens. The toad eats little bugs that could be harmful to the tarantula or vulnerable eggs and babies, and, well, with a bodyguard like that, nobody's going to fuck with the toad.

So, I assume that if you put 100 people on a spaceship and sent them to wherever, they'd get very inbred in a few generations. How many people would you need for this to not happen, accounting for the fact that there will eventually be people who are infertile or die before having children?

No they weren't even fucking or anything. Just chilling on their friend.

Madagascar hissing cockroaches!

Millipede munching on some cucumber!

Emerald flower beetles, also muching on some cucumber!

It was hard to get decent pics of bugs as a lot of the terrariums are somewhat dark and have moisture on the glass/walls, as my phone camera sucks, so no more bug pics unfortunately.

There was this event/exhibit thing tho, which featured GIANT BUGS

My favorite of them was this trapdoor spider that would come out if you pressed a pedal with your foot for a while:

It was fun watching how people would first see someone else press the pedal, go "ohh that's how it works!", then go do it themselves and be delighted when the spider would come out.
