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.
But how will i drive engagement to my shitter page if i don’t slap my username on every meme I find?
POV: Someone added a useless “no one” to their meme
POV: you’re the other person watching someone else do the action being described
This one grinds my gears too because it doesn’t even make sense.
“No one said nothing” is a double negative. Shouldn’t it be
Everyone:
Or just
(awkward) silence
Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans
Not to be confused with ringworms which are, in fact, a mold.
Or slime molds which are, in fact, an ameoba.
And humans are more closely related to mushrooms than plants!
“why is that we eat the fruit and not the tree?”
Cinnamon
Maple syrup
Why apple but not apple seed
i eat the apple seeds, coward

Some moulds are totally fine, see blue cheese. Some mycelium schlongs are dangerous, see death caps.
“Mycelium schlong”
Linguistic creativity at its best.
See also other soft cheeses like brie
You can also put mold on meat. Lot trickier, but the famous Hungarian salami Téliszalámi (Winter Salami) is done like that.
“Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that make you die a miserable death?”
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!😡
I feel seen
Whoa there… We eat mold too if they’re the right type and on the right things.
*Blu cheese has entered the chat*
Blue cheese would like a word.
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 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.
Yo, thank you to yogurt, sourdough, and various fermented beverages. Bless.
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, young man.
Is it true that this mold played a role in the “witches ride broomsticks” stereotype?
It sounds like a few different things got mashed together there. Ergot is a hallucinogenic fungus that grows on rye, and is speculated to be the cause of some of the witch panics. It’s not the same fungus found in Roquefort, but it is what they use to make LSD.
Witches flying is hypothesized to be entheogen use, since a common side effect is feelings of floating, flying, or otherwise ‘being high’.
The fungus you’re thinking of is likely ergot, because it shows up in pretty large volume in batches of rye.
In processing, it ends up as a dark purple/black dried up mass that assumes kinda a crescent shape. Mills will run a batch of rye through a color-sorter - a bunch of times consecutively - to reduce the amount of ergot in the batch before milling.
You can technically refine it into LSD, but if you screw up, you can kill people. (Morning Glories are the preferred method).
The number of 55-gallon drums of ergot I’ve disposed of, though… It’s difficult not to identify with Walter White and wonder… “what if?”
Humans: 🤮 Human genitalia: 🍆💨👃🤤
Cheese and yoghurt enter the chat.

Wait I thought mushrooms were the flowers… Or are you telling me that flowers are also genitals!!! 💥
Flowers are flowers genitals as well.
So they’re manspreading
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…
Poppycock.
the difference between eating mushrooms and eating mold is the difference between oral sex and vore
Wait am I supposed to just motion the mushroom in and out repeatedly then once it shrivels, the job is done?
Kombucha and sourdough bread have now entered the chat.
My babies! Also don’t forget kefir, my third child.
basically the same thing with men
Not a big fan of male genitalia tbh

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 mowing the lawn, even if they involve the same amount of effort? Have fun.
There’s housework that involves lying down while someone else puts in all the effort?
Ya it’s called affording a maid
Fuck, I remember Gumby. What happened to that guy?
I dunno. I miss him, though… and his pony pal Pokey, too.
For a costume event, I got a Gumby outfit and put a gladiator shirt over it. I don’t think anybody got it.
If you keep eating it, you’ll have to change your name to ShartEatingBreakfast
Does it make your guts rumble, fr??
Depends on the species of mold, but enough of them are toxic that the general advice is to avoid them all
Bread mold is not one universal thing, while certain molds may be more common, without doing involved identification you will not be able to determine the species and therefore safety of bread mold. Even if the majority of the time it is a safe species, you should not be knowingly risking it.
If the french eat frogs that’s fine, but when the south Americans do it everyone loses their minds.
(Poison dart frogs)
I prefer calling it flowers than genitallia
I’ve been sucking off genitalia this whole time?!

What’s mould? I know what mold is.

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.
BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
And 0.00001% makes me see and feel funny things
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Pretty sure the antibiotics also taste good with butter.
sploosh@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
And then there are the few lucky people who die a whole lot faster if they take that .01%
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
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!
