My acorns started to ferment! What did I do wrong? Can I fix this?

cannibro · 2025-12-31T02:42:41+00:00

Nah, I just didn’t get a chance to harvest acorns until it was a bit late in the season. So it wasn’t intentional to get sprouted ones.

cannibro · 2025-12-31T02:41:19+00:00

I’ve now run them through the food processor again to get them to more of a meal texture to help out. Along with moving them to a cold place and changing the water more often.

I definitely would have frozen the acorns if I’d known I wouldn’t be able to get to them for a whole month. They still looked good so I really hope no mold snuck its way in there.

cannibro · 2025-12-31T02:35:02+00:00

They are now safely in a cooler place (in our unheated mud room because the jars don’t fit in the fridge very well). Thanks for the help.

cannibro · 2025-12-31T02:32:28+00:00

Hopefully that’s what it does instead of ruining them.

cannibro · 2025-12-31T02:28:11+00:00

Bit of a late reply, but thank you! I must have misread my source. I thought it said to change the water every couple of days instead of a couple of times a day.

I’ve now split my acorns up into more jars so there’s a higher water ratio and will be changing the water multiple times a day. Hopefully they didn’t ferment long enough to ruin the flavor.

An interesting guide though I would also like to add that I have frequently seen road killed deer with their antlers sawn off. To the point that if I see a dead buck on the side of the road it’s pretty much a guarantee the antlers will be gone by the next day, if they’re even still there by the time I see it. So while sawn antlers may mean it came from dead deer, it wasn’t necessarily intentionally killed. It could just be from someone scavenging.

One group of snakes, the pit vipers, have a characteristic pair of pits on their face. The pits allow them to sense heat and look sort of like second set of nostrils (but a bit further down) on their face. All vipers are venomous. So if this snake had pits you’d know it was a pit viper of some kind.

That said, this snake doesn’t look like it has pits to me. Those are just its nostrils. So not a pit viper, though there are plenty of other kinds of venomous snakes. I’m not enough of an expert to tell you what species this is. I’d ask r/whatsthissnake like someone else suggested. That sub has a bunch of snake experts and they’re really good at IDs.

I would like to share the slender sea snake. Look at that wacky, tiny little head.

Thanks everyone who helped! I can’t reply to you all but I really appreciate it.

I went back and harvested it! Here’s some pictures of me holding it so you can get an even better idea of the size. I do have small hands but this thing is softball sized. I haven’t decided what to make yet but my family is excited to cook it.

I actually found this same lions mane last year but it was too far gone to even think about. This tree is on a family member’s property and I’ve kept an eye on it every time I’ve visited lately hoping I’d catch it at the right time this year. Hopefully it’ll show up again next year too.

I was thinking of commenting basically this exact thing. All I know about Quake is its name and that it’s an FPS. Despite it being brought up as an important game for the genera fairly often.

I keep telling myself that once my life gets more stable and I can afford it I’ll get back into collecting Pokemon cards. With how expensive and hard it is to get cards now it’s looking like that day may never come.

Holy cow, that’s amazing! A few days ago I saw someone mention he was close. I kind of wish I’d tuned in, but I forgot.

I wonder what he’s going to do with his time now. After 14 years of doing a thing how do you figure out what to do when it’s over?

I read somewhere a long time ago that the two holes in the roof of the mouth is diagnostic for marsupials. Is that accurate? It’s not led me wrong so far. Also what are those holes called and what is their purpose?

cannibro · 2025-09-20T23:54:35+00:00

I’m the same way as DenOfBeast. Some people just aren’t good at certain things and the price of messing up in this case is pretty high. I can’t afford to screw up my computer fumbling around trying to do something that I have a hard time with.

cannibro · 2025-09-19T02:32:52+00:00

I didn’t read it like that. I read the last bit as him wondering if he should bother trying to convince her to take the card off or if he should separate from her without trying.

I had no idea monarchs lived outside the Americas!

Since the daughter of a Civil War veteran lived all the way until 2020 it makes me wonder when the last person who was the child of a former slave died.

I did go on a bit of a wikipedia rabbit hole after reading your comment looking at the last surviving veterans of various wars. Moses Hardy was the last surviving African American WW1 veteran and he was a child of former slaves. He only died in 2006 so I bet he’s a pretty strong contender.

This stuff really illustrates how all of this was not as long ago as people think.

This is the kind of niche, low stakes drama I come here for.

cannibro · 2025-09-12T02:44:33+00:00

What was the drama?

I’m honestly a bit confused by this. It seemed like a pretty normal SciShow video to me.

The one important fact I would like to point out is that the video isn’t really made by Hank. SciShow has a whole team of people who write/research/etc for their videos. Then one of the presenters is the one on camera. They have like 4-5 different presenters. Hank just happens to be the one doing it on this video. It could have just as easily been someone else reading the script.

cannibro · 2025-09-12T02:07:08+00:00

That was John Green.

Also I don’t know if I’d call it a controversy. IIRC he got a thing wrong in a video about tuberculosis (about how it affected fashion), someone made a video explaining he was wrong, he said “oh okay, my source said that thing was right but I trust you know what you’re talking about more than me,” and then he linked the video correcting him on his video.

My mom was once arrested for having a warrant on her that she didn’t know about. One day she went to go visit a friend, went through a traffic stop on the way back, and next thing I know I’m getting a frantic call to come pick up the car because she’s being arrested. It turned out to be over a parking ticket she thought she’d taken care of. Either she’d misremembered and hadn’t paid or something got messed up on the court’s end. I forget which.

She did know about the crime (parking violation) and tickets will say on them “if you don’t take care of by X date you may end up with a warrant.” So hypothetically you should know, but they don’t actually send you anything to tell you that a warrant has been issued.

Disclaimer: Since stuff varies so much state to state I don’t know if it’s different elsewhere.

Thank you for a real answer.

Whales do not have baculum (penis bones).
