99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.
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.
And 0.00001% makes me see and feel funny things
More of them do that, but only once.
Pretty sure the antibiotics also taste good with butter.
What doesn't taste good with butter?
Kale, raw fresh fruit, sushi.
Plain yogurt, lettuce, candies.
It ain't plain if it's with butter
And then there are the few lucky people who die a whole lot faster if they take that .01%
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!
NotHowStatisticsWork
True; some mold is actually medicine. Therefore you only have 1/4 chance of dying.
1/5, some are hallucinogens
Yeah? Then successfully explain how statistics work, smart guy. But I warn you, there’s a 50% chance you’ll fail.
It's actually 50% because it either kills you or is doesn't. Those are the two options.
You both sound correct. No idea who to trust, so I guess there's a 50:50 chance that it's 50% or that it's one in three.
Just as believing in a deity gives you a 50% chance of salvation.
Or when growing in cheese.
Cheese also tastes good with butter.
