Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I always come back to mushrooms. How many people died trying the different varieties of mushrooms and why would they keep on trying to find the edible ones? I guess it's a bit of "We're going to die anyway, might as well risk it." But still.

And once agriculture is discovered, all the selective breeding over generations to get edible plants. Then in some cases all the processing involved to make the result edible. Like maize and nixtamalizaiton. Look at wild corn and compare that to cultivated corn. It's nuts. Then all that goes into making corn digestible.

Hákarl is the one that springs to mind for me. The meat of the shark is poisonous unless you let it rot for a few months, and then you end up with something that smells like urine.

Thanks for stopping by, Eeyore.

My boss at work goes by the call sign "Eeyore" - he has for years, apparently.

No, it’s because he’s a Minnesota Vikings fan.

I imagine if I were really hungry and saw another animal eating it, I might have tried it. Of course now I know there are various things birds eat in my yard, for example, that would be poisonous for me (know by reading, not trying).

I wonder if getting into new board games or RPGs is similar, except generally only watching humans.
