"Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that give you explosive diarrhea?"

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.

lactobacillus is everywhere. Truly the king of kings.

On typing this out, I'm suddenly concerned about this being offensive or blatantly false. I never applied critical thought to the story before, as I'm pretty sure I was told it as a relatively young, and more relevantly gullible, man.

Is it true that this mold played a role in the "witches ride broomsticks" stereotype?

edit: Removed redundant word.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

See also other soft cheeses like brie

"Mycelium schlong"

Linguistic creativity at its best.

Flowers are flowers genitals as well.

Yes... But technically they're performing In Bee-tro fertilization (IBF) .... I'll show myself out

Yes, exactly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Ha! I read that they're loyal to their favourite flower... Fetish?

[–] captainlezbian 2 points 18 hours ago

It's more like they're the unicorns to angiosperms. Meanwhile non angiosperm plants are the guy who busts a nut on the bus

If the french eat frogs that's fine, but when the south Americans do it everyone loses their minds.

I prefer calling it flowers than genitallia

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago

Some women also call it their flowers and yeah I go down on flowers. :finger-guns:

[–] MTK 42 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Nfamwap 4 points 11 hours ago

I feel seen

No one:

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ironfacebuster 2 points 17 hours ago

POV: you're the other person watching someone else do the action being described

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And on top of that, a pointless Twitter comment.

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

99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.

[–] then_three_more 91 points 1 day ago (7 children)

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.
