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.
1/5, some are hallucinogens
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.
But how will i drive engagement to my shitter page if i don't slap my username on every meme I find?
Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans
Some moulds are totally fine, see blue cheese. Some mycelium schlongs are dangerous, see death caps.
"Mycelium schlong"
Linguistic creativity at its best.
"Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that give you explosive diarrhea?"
Whoa there... We eat mold too if they're the right type and on the right things.
Blue cheese would like a word.
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.
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.
Humans: 🤮
Human genitalia: 🍆💨👃🤤
Cheese and yoghurt enter the chat.
laughs in alcohol
the difference between eating mushrooms and eating mold is the difference between oral sex and vore
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.
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 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?
.....is bread mold harmful to eat?
EDIT: Still have not gotten a wholly confirmed answer lol
If you keep eating it, you'll have to change your name to ShartEatingBreakfast
If the french eat frogs that's fine, but when the south Americans do it everyone loses their minds.
(Poison dart frogs)
