Oh yeah? Well technically some really expensive coffee brands that people pay a lot for have coffee beans that went through the digestive systems of lemur-lookalike creatures, so you're paying tons to drink poo water.

Also bananas and tomatoes are berries.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

A bit of instant coffee in the bottom of a bowl.

Add 120g of frozen blueberries.

Add a sprinkling of roasted cashews.

Add some whole milk. (Or, heavy cream if you're feeling thin that day.)

Top with a generous poof of cinnamon powder, and a tiny bit of sugar.

Stir and enjoy.

Doesn't Ceylon Cinnamon have negligible amounts of coumarin compared to Cassia?

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 22 points 14 hours ago

It blows my mind that cinnamon trees are a real thing. I can go walk through a cinnamon forest!? Wtf, how is that real? That's some CandyLand/Narnia shit.

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

I always wondered how a cinnamon forest would smell.

Much like all forests

Everything is toxic in large amounts, even water

[-] tobebannedbygaymods@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

what are kidneys for then ?!!

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago

Because our water is basically all dihydrogen monoxide at this point. We're so fucked.

[-] denaggels@feddit.org 7 points 12 hours ago

Our water is becoming increasingly less dihydrogen monoxide and more micro plastics. Thats why we're fucked

Consume too much? Dead.

Inhale too much? Dead.

Go too deep into it? Dead.

We really should be regulating the stuff.

Elite ball knowledge

What did the Jamaican priest say to the thief stealing from the church?

(In Jamaican accent) "You're a cinna mon"

Hue hue hue

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 14 points 16 hours ago

As a forager I don't see anything wrong with eating a tree... As long I'm 200% sure what kind tree I'm eating.

[-] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Ever eat bamboo? Delicious

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 9 hours ago

I have and I hated it. But I think I didn't know how to prepare it.

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Bamboo is grass.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 364 points 1 day ago

Every dust is sawdust after you see it.

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

... ... Fuck you.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

We are all sawdust on this Blessed day

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago

Daaad! 🙄

If you witnessed a toothed cutting implement in action, you saw a saw saw.

Shredded cheese has cellulose (basically sawdust). It’s added to keep the cheese from sticking together. Or that’s my understanding.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 15 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

It's actually potato starch.

Sawdust isn't just cellulose. Wood is a matrix of cellulose fibers bound together by a tougher compound called lignin. While lignin isn't particularly toxic, you wouldn't want to eat it.

Fun fact, a lot of the process of making paper is for removing the lignin, only the cellulose is useful for making paper. And grasses like bamboo have a higher ratio of cellulose to lignin, so it's better for making paper

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 6 points 16 hours ago

Its not always potato starch though.

I mostly know this because my daughter is allergic to potatos so we have to only get certain brands of cheese.

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 14 hours ago

This might be the worse allergy I can think of. I didn’t know anyone had this allergy. I am so very sorry to hear this.

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 3 points 14 hours ago

Oh its been worse. But at the moment its become down to potato and lettuce. Its all part of her Mastcell related to EDS. Ten years ago when she was in High School basically the only only thing she could and did eat was plain chicken and plain eggs. At this point, with medications, she can mostly eat normal, aside from the potato and lettuce.

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago

Wow, so trees are made from potatoes, that's wild. Mother nature, you crazy!

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Lignin my balls

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 14 hours ago

Potato sawdust. Haha. I knew it wasn’t sawdust like trees but it was a dusty material made from plant but I didn’t know what kind.

Thanks! That’s pretty cool

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

its also poor mans cocaine, as well as nutmeg.

[-] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 5 points 14 hours ago

Nutmeg is incredibly unpleasant for drug purposes, ask me how I know

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 6 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Ah, right, the nutmeg cookies of auntie, with far too much nutmeg. Eat two and you'll get funny.

[-] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Instructions unclear. I just sprinkled cocaine on my rice pudding.

Well, actually... it's ground into a powder, rather than the byproduct of sawing. I don't think it counts.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I will saw my cinnamon sticks just to prove you wrong.
