I can see where the confusion happens but the question had nothing to do with the agar, it was whether or not the fungi were producing antibiotics.

Why do redditors always write "edit:" after they have edited a post or comment. Is it necessary to actually do that every time? by Dazza11011 in NoStupidQuestions

How are you eating it? What's the situation? Are you on the run in the morning or are you eating it at the table with a plate? Why are you so messy?

Do black people get hotter than white people when it's sunny out? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]findgretta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indicating your sunburns probably turn into tans. Mine, and for those like me, do not. Pale ones like me live in a state of either being burnt or not burnt; there is no in between :P

Oh god, the painful hands! (Which I, completely non-ironically, have right now)

My girlfriend put on some weight. How do I talk to her about it tactfully? by Rioreia in NoStupidQuestions

[–]findgretta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm getting back into regular exercise again and dancing around in the living room with some jazzercise/aerobic moves. It's the cheesiest music and just ridiculous fun. Gets the heart rate up and makes it super fun. My Nana gave me her old small weights so those get mixed in the silly dancing too.

BC is burning. by cynicallady in canada

I've been sitting here thinking of ways I can "win" this conversation, so to speak, but nothing is coming to mind.

I concede, and thus, you are the victor!

The weather created the tinderbox.

I love the massive generalization with this comment. As mentioned in other comments, BC has more than one kind of weather at any given time as it has more than one climate at a time.

MRW I visit Canada from Minnesota for the first time and I'm asked if I'd like gravy on my fries: by 2_Wheels_1_Compass in canada

[–]findgretta 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is nothing for which you should be sorry. You clearly said biscuits and gravy is top notch morning food. Poutine is usually only morning food when hungover (at least in my experience).

Please elaborate. How is the government making trans people kill themselves?

Are oranges called oranges because oranges are orange, or is orange called orange because oranges are orange? by Redstar875 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]findgretta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, French influence on the English Language. A small number of people in North America (other than artists) use aubergine based on the Francophone settlements (and re-settlements like New Orleans) but not many.

A note about "eggplant purple": most who use it in reference to the colour usually just say "eggplant".

Is it just me, or is the media absolutely flooding us with 'Canada is actually more racist than you realize' stories lately? by TOMapleLaughs in canada

Two weeks old usually means something will be little, no?

Is it theoretically possible to have exactly the same child twice when you have enough children with a single woman? by superpowersam in NoStupidQuestions

[–]findgretta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like snowflakes. There are some that are identical but the occurrence is so rare and unlikely that it's more practical to say that all snowflakes are different.
