"Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that give you explosive diarrhea?"
Some moulds are totally fine, see blue cheese. Some mycelium schlongs are dangerous, see death caps.
"Mycelium schlong"
Linguistic creativity at its best.
You can also put mold on meat. Lot trickier, but the famous Hungarian salami Téliszalámi (Winter Salami) is done like that.
See also other soft cheeses like brie
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.
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.
Yeah? Then successfully explain how statistics work, smart guy. But I warn you, there’s a 50% chance you’ll fail.
No one:
Everyone: adds a pointless “No one:” above perfectly valid memes
And on top of that, a pointless Twitter comment.
I swear, every meme nowadays is three levels of reaction deep.
Humans: 🤮
Human genitalia: 🍆💨👃🤤
Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans
The Roquefort (French blue cheese) is made from the mold that grows on rye bread.
So even the moldy bread, in the right condition, can become a delicacy.
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.
It doesn't need to be big to do it's job!😡
Whoa there... We eat mold too if they're the right type and on the right things.
Blue cheese would like a word.
Wait I thought mushrooms were the flowers... Or are you telling me that flowers are also genitals??!! 💥
Yep lol just wait till you find out what pollen is analogous too lol
So bees are slutty sex pests and fly around covered in plant cum...
Yes... But technically they're performing In Bee-tro fertilization (IBF) .... I'll show myself out
Poppycock.
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??
the difference between eating mushrooms and eating mold is the difference between oral sex and vore
Cheese and yoghurt enter the chat.
laughs in alcohol
If the french eat frogs that's fine, but when the south Americans do it everyone loses their minds.
(Poison dart frogs)
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.
There's housework that involves lying down while someone else puts in all the effort?
I prefer calling it flowers than genitallia
Some women also call it their flowers and yeah I go down on flowers. :finger-guns:
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
