Oh I’m old enough to remember the cinnamon challenge… it definitely has a bite
titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I mean I don’t think you have to be that old to remember the cinnamon challenge. It took off in game popularity in the early 2010 so about 10-15 years ago.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m old enough to have a now-adult son who was dumb enough to try it. Although, at the time, I didn’t know what he was up to, so I just told him “it’s not sweet, the only reason you think it sweet is because it’s always mixed with sugar.” Fortunately, he didn’t take much of it.

If sawdust made my yeasted enriched dough taste awesome I’d be putting it on there too.

Tastes ood atop of arabica bean soup and foamed lactase.
IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I’d say it’s more of a tea than a soup. Unless you leave the grinds in.

I also like a bit of beaver scent gland juice added in.

foamed lactase.
Isn’t that the thing that digests milk, but not milk? You can buy little lactase pills at the pharmacy.
VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Opps. You are correct. I guess I was trying to use the verb form “lactate” for a science-y term for milk.

It blows my mind that cinnamon trees are a real thing. I can go walk through a cinnamon forest!? Wtf, how is that real? That’s some CandyLand/Narnia shit.

Everything is toxic in large amounts, even water
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Because our water is basically all dihydrogen monoxide at this point. We’re so fucked.
denaggels@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Our water is becoming increasingly less dihydrogen monoxide and more micro plastics. Thats why we’re fucked

Consume too much? Dead. Inhale too much? Dead. Go too deep into it? Dead.
We really should be regulating the stuff.

Well, actually… it’s ground into a powder, rather than the byproduct of sawing. I don’t think it counts.

Pay attention to how often you see “cellulose” as a listed ingredient. That’s also usually processed wood pulp.
That cheap powdery parmesan often found in pizza places? Also sawdust.
It gets extra funny when you see cellulose listed on something with artificial cinnamon flavoring.
cattywampas@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s not sawdust. Some might be derived from wood but it’s just cellulose and does not contain lignin, which is what differentiates wood from other plant matter. Chemically, it’s basically the same as any other plant starch.
thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
and its fiber, which helps push the other shit you eat through your guts
SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 2 weeks ago
If your pizza places have sawdust in their parmesan, change nation.
Master@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Fire Nation does not use sawdust in their parmesan!

wander1236@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Sawdust has a lot more in it than just cellulose. The meme is a joke, but it’s closer to reality than calling cellulose powder derived from wood pulp “sawdust”.

I think California is known to cause cancer in the state of California, you can bet cinnamon is too.

Shredded cheese has cellulose (basically sawdust). It’s added to keep the cheese from sticking together. Or that’s my understanding.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
It’s actually potato starch.
Sawdust isn’t just cellulose. Wood is a matrix of cellulose fibers bound together by a tougher compound called lignin. While lignin isn’t particularly toxic, you wouldn’t want to eat it.
Fun fact, a lot of the process of making paper is for removing the lignin, only the cellulose is useful for making paper. And grasses like bamboo have a higher ratio of cellolose to lignin, so it’s better for making paper
RamenJunkie@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
Its not always potato starch though.
I mostly know this because my daughter is allergic to potatos so we have to only get certain brands of cheese.
MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Wow, so trees are made from potatoes, that’s wild. Mother nature, you crazy!

Potato sawdust. Haha. I knew it wasn’t sawdust like trees but it was a dusty material made from plant but I didn’t know what kind.
Thanks! That’s pretty cool

You can get high off of them?? Or is it just that they’re good for snorting?

its possible i heard, but you likely will aspirate the powder causing lung issues. same with cinnamon.

Makes sense I guess

Nangijala@feddit.dk 2 weeks ago
Oh yeah? Well technically some really expensive coffee brands that people pay a lot for have coffee beans that went through the digestive systems of lemur-lookalike creatures, so you’re paying tons to drink poo water.
Also bananas and tomatoes are berries.
SillyDude@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
It wasn’t until recently that I learned how bad cinnamon was for you. Saw that the max you should consume per day is 1-2 teaspoons. Not tablespoons. I was eating a whole thing of cinnamon powder a week just cuz I like it. I’ve stopped doing that.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A bit of instant coffee in the bottom of a bowl.
Add 120g of frozen blueberries.
Add a sprinkling of roasted cashews.
Add some whole milk. (Or, heavy cream if you’re feeling thin that day.)
Top with a generous poof of cinnamon powder, and a tiny bit of sugar.
Stir and enjoy.
