99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% 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!

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.

[–] Klear 2 points 1 day ago

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.
