Blue cheese would like a word.

Whoa there... We eat mold too if they're the right type and on the right things.

This bacterium gives me the sniffles. This other bacterium liquefies and eats my muscles. But if I don't have enough of this other bacterium in me, I get violent explosive shits??

Srsly? It's pretty simple - some forms of mold are delicious and others aren't.

Here's another mystery to ponder: Why do people generally love having sex but hate doing housework that involves the same amount of effort? Have fun.

There's housework that involves lying down while someone else puts in all the effort?

.....is bread mold harmful to eat?

EDIT: Still have not gotten a wholly confirmed answer lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Depends on the species of mold, but enough of them are toxic that the general advice is to avoid all moldy bread.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

SEB is a 32 year old woman, presenting to the emergency room...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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. 😤

Would mould live on live wood?

Stupid language (it's the only one I speak)
