I have the opposite -- almost all vegetation has a taste and it's quite good.
Basil? Yes. Garlic.. Cabbage Spinach Asparagus Broccoli Carrots! Peppers! Beets!
I just made a huge pot of Borscht last night with beets, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, basil and olive oil - it's going to feed me for days!
Feel bad for the people missing out on how tasty Earth plants are
No, you're right
There was a king once named Damocles that had a sword suspended over his throne that could come crashing down at any random moment and kill him, to remind himself of the fragility of his power, and human life.
I have no idea how that anecdote might apply to people in power in this day and age, or why people would reference the anecdote.
Glares at the fraying rope
Holy shit so many desperate prayers in one thread
I think they can be convinced to pause their game of Jenga or Connect Four for a few minutes of structural integrity or engine failure
The Big ~Man~ .. Big Entity has Big Priorities, you know?
Yes but 22 minutes is longer than 17 minutes
Think of it like a pizza oven
How well done is your pizza?
Excellent website. Scary data source.
It's like "Collapse of Western Civilization, 38% complete"
Hyperthymesia is the medical term
An overactive hypothalamus which holds onto all memories in an obsessive manner regardless of their relevancy or emotional content, cooperating with the hippocampus.
If the brain were a person, a hyperthymesic brain has OCD.
I would know, I have one.
The name of the Buy Mode music of the 2001 Life Simulation Game The Sims is named "Mall Rat" by Jerry Martin.

I'm probably going to upset a few Star Wars fans with this, but in the original version that I saw of the New Hope / Ep4, both Han and Greedo have their blaster pistols drawn under the table, and Han shoots Greedo first.
I've seen the entire internet argue about who shot first, but the irony is that if he didn't shoot first he would get shot by Greedo and the story would end right there.
It wasn't murder, it was quickdraw. :)
Oh my fucking god
It looks just like the edible white button mushroom
I had heard stories from my parents about people foraging for mushrooms in "the old country" (the Soviet Union), villagers from their province sometimes supplemented dwindling supplies with wild forest mushrooms.
They said they were invited multiple times to go on mushroom hunts but were afraid of traversing the forests after dusk, and they were glad they refused, because one large family served mushroom soup, and the menti (police/milita) found them all dead.
Parents, grandparents, children, an entire family generation wiped out by mushroom soup, all dead in their chairs in the dining room.
So, artificial selection instead of natural selection
Go for it π
They would "turn into" unremarkable humans. Is the purpose of the simulation to depress the people seeking IVF, or is there a eugenics component involved?
