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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

More of them do that, but only once.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pretty sure the antibiotics also taste good with butter.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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!

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

1/5, some are hallucinogens

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 1 month ago

Cheese also tastes good with butter.

No one:

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And on top of that, a pointless Twitter comment.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month 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] 9 points 1 month ago

POV: Someone added a useless "no one" to their meme

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This one grinds my gears too because it doesn't even make sense.

"No one said nothing" is a double negative. Shouldn't it be

Everyone:

Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Blue cheese would like a word.

Whoa there... We eat mold too if they're the right type and on the right things.

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] 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

"Mycelium schlong"

Linguistic creativity at its best.

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] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Ya it’s called affording a maid

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

EDIT: Still have not gotten a wholly confirmed answer lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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