TIL chitin is not just a made up Morrowind word and actually makes sense as armor padding.

I had no idea mushrooms had it, but it's what insect carapaces are made of.

Ore ha chitin ga daisuki nandayo!

I believe it is "ore wa"

Yes, I used to be a degenerate too...

Japanese は is pronounced "wa" when used as the topic particle (as it is in the example), but still written "ha"

Do you chew your mushrooms?

Enoki mushrooms are also called "see you tomorrow mushrooms" for the same reason.

However I always chew my food so I've never noticed it.

[-] RacoonVegetable@reddthat.com 4 points 7 months ago

Great! I’ll add this to the list of reasons why I hate mushrooms.
