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

[-] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 5 days ago

1/5, some are hallucinogens

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 28 points 5 days ago

Yeah? Then successfully explain how statistics work, smart guy. But I warn you, there’s a 50% chance you’ll fail.

[-] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

It's actually 50% because it either kills you or is doesn't. Those are the two options.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Oh, you like math? Name all the numbers.

[-] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

Just as believing in a deity gives you a 50% chance of salvation.
