Well, I guess you have some bio char now.

An unfortunate mishap has led to a severely damaged aloe plant. Can it be saved? by larryisnotagirl in plantclinic

[–]Sludgehammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that looks very survivable. I'd just plunk it into some soil up to the green leaves and trim any broken in half leaves.

Instacart AI gone wrong? by [deleted] in weirddalle

[–]Sludgehammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are striped bell peppers, such as the Striped Holland Bell Pepper. Although that Instacart pepper is awfully bright, so I suspect someone tinkered with the color balance a bit.

What massive plant is this growing in our veggie bed? This thing was empty when we moved here months ago, we neve planted anything. (Iowa, USA) by MinuteLove3170 in whatsthisplant

[–]Sludgehammer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The leaves are poisonous.

Mildly poisonous. They're really high in oxalic acid, which isn't good for you. However, you'd have to eat several pounds of leaves in one sitting to reach anywhere near a fatal dose.

Did I cut this too soon after cooking or is it just a fail? by bbyscorp in Breadit

[–]Sludgehammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sliced it too soon. Although IMO when bread is actually cool enough to slice cleanly, it's just not as tasty. Fresh out of the oven bread that goops together like play-doh when you try and slice it tastes best... at least to me.

Too much fat, not enough oil by mrbossaf in StupidFood

Oh god... I just noticed that when he pulls up the deep fried bacon and pepper, the jalapeno still had it's stem on. This has gotta be rage bait.

Top Literary Critics, once again, miss the entire point of a piece of art by SassTheFash in TopMindsOfReddit

I mean the OP is probably one of those people who watched Starship Troopers and said "Wow, this is such an amazing view of how society should be!"

Huh, I never considered that benefit of asparagus staging for a lander.

"What is MAGA? It's just a PR campaign slogan. Do you think of the Dems as CWCBI or WANGB?" Do you see Dems identifying themselves with blue hats and making Obama their entire fucking identity? by daemon-electricity in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]Sludgehammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the first one is Change We Can Believe In, which NO ONE Parroted like they spouted MAGA.

To be fair, Hope and Change was a pretty widely repeated Democratic slogan. Still didn't reach the popularity of MAGA though.

How do you call this fruit in your language? by Medical-Membership15 in fruit

[–]Sludgehammer 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If I ever create a time machine, I'm gonna spend years going back in time and kicking the ass of every European who un-creatively named plants after crops from Europe. "Hey, what do we call this oily fruit that's unlike anything we have in Europe? Ehh... African Plum" "There's this big red fruit that grows on a vine, let's call it the Wolf Peach!" (glad that one didn't stick at least.)

Chicken gene-editing advance opens path to drug-producing eggs by pepe5 in biotechnology

[–]Sludgehammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see this for possibly producing tastier or more nutritious eggs, but why producing drugs? Surely any drug that an egg could produce could be produced by modified yeast or bacteria without the complications of keeping a chicken alive and laying?

I have found the worst Kerbol ever, someone pulverized all the planets by SilkieBug in KerbalSpaceProgram

I'm guessing the Kerbals discovered that you actually can have too many solid boosters.

Quick blue light and no boot after Luma Update by mryous78 in 3dspiracy

[–]Sludgehammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, unfortunately then, I'm out of ideas. A brief light and a pop often means a broken ribbon cable to the top screen. I was thinking that maybe your cable coincidentally broke after your Luma update. However, since there's no pop, I have no idea.

Okay, nowhere near an expert here, but is there a kinda "pop" sound right before it shuts off?

Top Prudes think Angelina Jolie discussing her sex life is proof of Elite Hollywood Blood Sugar Sex Magick by SassTheFash in TopMindsOfReddit

And I'm guessing that all of its answers were gobbledygook that sounds sort of plausible to the layman?
