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

[-] [email protected] 97 points 3 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.

[-] [email protected] 64 points 3 months ago

And 0.00001% makes me see and feel funny things

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

More of them do that, but only once.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure the antibiotics also taste good with butter.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

What doesn't taste good with butter?

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!

[-] [email protected] 45 points 3 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

1/5, some are hallucinogens

[-] [email protected] 28 points 3 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.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Cheese also tastes good with butter.

No one:

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

[-] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago

And on top of that, a pointless Twitter comment.

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

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 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

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Not to be confused with ringworms which are, in fact, a mold.

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

[-] [email protected] 25 points 3 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?"

[-] [email protected] 50 points 3 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.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago

Both are pictures of genitalia, one of them is just really really small, microscopic even, so you are being very insensitive towards the microscopic genitalia.

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??

[-] [email protected] 34 points 3 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.

Srsly? It's pretty simple - some forms of mold are delicious and others aren't.

Here's another mystery to ponder: Why do people generally love having sex but hate doing housework that involves the same amount of effort? Have fun.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

There's housework that involves lying down while someone else puts in all the effort?

.....is bread mold harmful to eat?

EDIT: Still have not gotten a wholly confirmed answer lol

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

If you keep eating it, you'll have to change your name to ShartEatingBreakfast
