  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.

  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!

      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.

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