I do find it pretty metal that these Eldritch abominations that come from a poisonous plant are some of the tastiest things on Earth.

It tried to kill us, but it failed. Was humankind metal all along?

Humans are space orca. Don't think it caught on here as much yet compared to reddit.

I think you meant to say space orcs but orcas is pretty funny too.

This is the first time I've wanted potatoes mashed but not because I'm hungry...

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Vanquished potatoes sound tasty.

Revenge is a baked potato best served cold.

Mac wants the flamethrower!

Just found out today if they start to sprout even a little you shouldn't eat them?

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For what its worth the photo above is a sweet potato which is different and generally wont become poisonous.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sweet potato leaves can even be eaten, they are nice stir fried with garlic and ginger.

However never try to eat regular potato leaves, they are poisonous

Also probably taste bitter and nasty, I once tried to eat a potato berry when I was younger and before I knew they weren't edible and it tasted awful. Don't judge me I was 5 and didn't know any better, but I definitely know better now.

Portal 2 moment

Potatoes can literally kill you with poisonous gas if you store too many of them wrong. It was a real risk when potato cellars were still a thing.

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago

You can start a new plant from each of those roots.

I was curious how this came about, so reverse image seached. In short, it's lockdown potatoes.
