What’s mould? I know what mold is.
haha the joke is that we all have to live under the thumb of imperial domination and its demands for conformaty while you have the privilege of being from the metropole
American English (derogatory)
99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.
Or when growing in cheese.
Cheese also tastes 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
Oh, you like math? Name all the numbers.
Just as believing in a deity gives you a 50% chance of salvation.
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.
You both sound correct. No idea who to trust, so I guess there’s a 50:50 chance that it’s 50% or that it’s one in three.
True; some mold is actually medicine. Therefore you only have 1/4 chance of dying.
1/5, some are hallucinogens
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.
Pretty sure the antibiotics also taste good with butter.
What doesn’t taste good with butter?
Kale, raw fresh fruit, sushi.
Plain yogurt, lettuce, candies.
It ain’t plain if it’s with butter
And 0.00001% makes me see and feel funny things
More of them do that, but only once.
And then there are the few lucky people who die a whole lot faster if they take that .01%
Kombucha and sourdough bread have now entered the chat.

I’ve been sucking off genitalia this whole time?!
You should try mushrooms, they’re delicious too.
Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans
And humans are more closely related to mushrooms than plants!
Not to be confused with ringworms which are, in fact, a mold.
Or slime molds which are, in fact, an ameoba.
Now there’s a creature that really breaks our language conventions. Forget indeterminate gender, we can’t decide if it’s one creature or many at any given time.
…is bread mold harmful to eat?
Fuck, I remember Gumby. What happened to that guy?
I dunno. I miss him, though… and his pony pal Pokey, too.
Maybe the blockheads finally got him.
For a costume event, I got a Gumby outfit and put a gladiator shirt over it. I don’t think anybody got it.
No. Just, why? Gumby’s whole thing is that he’s made of clay.
SEB is a 32 year old woman, presenting to the emergency room…
Listen: I’ve never gotten sick from eating slightly moldy bread. Ever.
Scallions, however, sent me to the emergency room shitting blood (turns out it was an allergy or intolerance or some nonsense).
I ain’t one of those “Taco Bell gives me explosive diarrhea” nerds. That’s weak. 😤
Depends on the species of mold, but enough of them are toxic that the general advice is to avoid all moldy bread.
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.
It’s as harmful as picking up a random bug and eating it.
Which means: you might die. Or you might not.
Trusting the internet to give you the answer here as the final defacto answer… Maybe not the best.
If you keep eating it, you’ll have to change your name to ShartEatingBreakfast
Does it make your guts rumble, fr??
I’ve heard of people eating bread that had mold on it but not knowing it because the only visible mold was on the other side of the loaf, they had eaten it for a few days and had the shits
“Has entered the chat” has entered the chat. Itt
Humans: 🤮
Human genitalia: 🍆💨👃🤤
No one:
Everyone: adds a pointless “No one:” above perfectly valid memes
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
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?
“Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that give you explosive diarrhea?”
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.
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, man.
Is it true that this mold played a role in the “witches ride broomsticks” stereotype?
edit: Removed redundant word.
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’.
Ah, I looked it up and accepted “rye bread” without actually reading the name of the fungus, so you’re probably right about that part.
The broomstick myth that I’ve heard does indeed involve substance abuse to achieve an altered state of mind. The broomstick specific part was because apparently some women would put the substance on the end of a broomstick and apply it, shall we say, internally, thinking that this would achieve greater (or perhaps faster) effect. I don’t know whether entheogen was the material in question.
As initially mentioned, I make no claim that this is true, only that I read it a long time ago and never really questioned it.
edit: Forgot to thank you for the clearly knowledgeable response!
I don’t know whether entheogen was the material in question.
En-theo-gen, where ‘theo’ is the same as ‘theology’, roughly means ‘to commune with god’, so it’s any psychoactive substance used religiously. It covers everything from the wine in christian communion to a witch’s psychoactive sybian, haha.
Forgot to thank you for the clearly knowledgeable response!
Any time!
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?”
Iirc the psychoactive compound in ergot/morning glories is LSA, which is similar, but different from LSD. LSD is a refined version of LSA.
lactobacillus is everywhere. Truly the king of kings.
Yo, thank you to yogurt, sourdough, and various fermented beverages. Bless.
If the french eat frogs that’s fine, but when the south Americans do it everyone loses their minds.

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.
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.
“Mycelium schlong”
Linguistic creativity at its best.
I prefer calling it flowers than genitallia
Some women also call it their flowers and yeah I go down on flowers. :finger-guns:
