About a year ago, my grandpa experienced wondrous symptoms. So he went to the hospital. The doctor wasn't sure what was wrong with him at first, so he had to stay for multiple days. After much discussing about possible causes, it turns out he'd eaten a piece of some random game that another family member brought along, and that he'd let thaw and then had refrozen it. That allowed the doctors to treat him successfully on, I believe, day 3.

After leaving the hospital, he still wasn't sure of the cause though — and you can't just throw away perfectly good meat!; so he ate another piece of the defrosted game and, no surprise, went to hospital again. This time around, the diagnosis was a lot easier though.

I read this thinking a piece of game meant like a board game piece for the whole thing and was so baffled 😅 finally got it

You can't eat bad meat all at once, it's lethal.

For context: This is Germany, A&E is ~free.

In context I now know you mean game as in hunted game, I was wondering why your grandpa was melting and eating Monopoly pieces

Reminds me of the bad krabby patty from SpongeBob.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'm sure it was a GBA cartridge.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

All this because I don't know at all what kind of animal it was.

wondrous symptoms

?

If you eat the entire apple, an apple tree will grow in your stomach

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Right beside the gum tree.

Only if the sun shines there, which we all know it does

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

I honestly don’t understand why people don’t eat the core. It’s the same but a little more chunky. Why do so many people let perfectly edible and tasty food go to waste.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

Because it's barely edible and not tasty...

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

The seeds contain cyanide.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

Smoke some cigarettes. The smoke will suffocate the bacteria in your stomach.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Cyanide isn't a bacteria

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

a very small amount. The seeds are not harmful to eat.

I ate the core at school but the teachers made me stop because "the seeds are poisonous!"

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Well at least others will assume you have a big dick

Sadly my granddad was only an average depression survivor.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives.

But on the plus side you get to fuck Helena Bonham Carter.

Well, someone does. It's all the same to her.

In this thread: cyanide and depression

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Don't eat the apple seeds. Their content can turn into cyanide during digestion.

Kill and Do Harm are not exactly the same. My vote is toss the apple core into a field unless apples are not native or present there.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Apple seeds dont typically grow in to apple trees with actually tasty fruit

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

We've also spent a lot of time and effort genetically modifying apple trees to get more, tasty, feuit, and less seeds.

Just compare a modern banana to a wild banana.

How else am I supposed to built up a tolerance for cyanide if I don't microdose insignificant amounts daily?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

No thanks. I eat the whole apple daily.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

So do I - apples generally have very few seeds. I don't eat the stem though.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

My grandmother lived through the hunger winter and she remained adamant about not wasting any food. Those things have a big impact.
