You eat their little farts trapped in the dough, you know that?

You are disgusting.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

That ain't the only farts I'm eating, honey

Dutch oven sandwich in every bite

Beer’s similar: Give beer sugars, the yeast generates poison to try and prevent other microorganisms from surviving and eventually the yeast poisons its own environment enough that it can no longer continue living.

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds like humans and yeast have a lot in common.

Guys.... are we fermenting someone's galaxy?

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

We're terraforming the planet for an alien species that breathes carbon dioxide.

[–] chocolateo@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Makes more sense than orthodox religions actually

And they feed on microplastics and ionizing radiation.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Then we drink their poison on purpose, as if in mockery

[–] variants@possumpat.io 3 points 2 years ago

Love that poop water

[–] sarmale@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Is there any reason why yeast does that or it is just a random fact?

[–] Rootiest@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's fine they wouldn't have lived at all otherwise.

You gave them the gift of a happy life and a purpose.

That's more than most of us get

[–] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So, by that logic, it's ok if one day you eat your teenage child?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, but it HAS to be before they turn 20 or else they overripen

It's even worse when you bake sourdough. I've been cultivating that yeast colony, caring for it, loving it. It thinks I care, but it's only being prepared for slaughter.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

sourdough

yeast colony

Bacterial colony, no?

Also, you kill only half of them each time. For the sourdough starter, it's like a Thanos-snap coin-flip everytime you bake bread. The bacteria in your current sourdough starter come from a long line of statistically lucky ancestors.

I suppose that's kind of true for all of us, though...

[–] ThoGot@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Bacterial colony, no?

It's both yeast and bacteria.

Loaves for the bread throne

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A bit afraid of asking for your prompt

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just asked for more after this

[–] weed_scientist@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice. The only thing that would make this better is if you asked for yeast cells instead of bacteria, since yeast are fungi.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] weed_scientist@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Lmao chatgpt needs to learn what yeast cells look like. Thanks for doing that, though!

Guess I'm an anti-yeastite!

[–] TheGreenGolem@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reminds me of the old one with fried chicken: let me bathe you in your dead child.

Oyakodon: "parent-and-child donburi"

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, I'm disgusted. Good job.

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'm just hungry.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 points 2 years ago

Thats some high quality shit here.

Understood from that post even more than from my biology class.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Share a thought for all the genetically engineered bacteria strains that produce essencial products to maintain our colective civilization.

[–] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

This comment section is better than the post itself.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

What's wrong with that? The yeasts are being baked after all...

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Bread is murder.
