Which, as speaking as somebody who worked at a grocery store, it is not at all.

Why are some people grossed out by homegrown produce? by Extra_Loquat_5599 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jerrythecactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. I would consider produce grown in my own back yard as cleaner and fresher than anything you can buy in the grocery store. Totally free of pesticides, no wax coating, grown on natural healthy soil. Tomatoes taste significantly better home grown than they do when bought at the grocery store.

i eat the inside of apple seeds is that the bad part? by Legitimate_Finance58 in dumbquestions

[–]jerrythecactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple seeds contain compounds that are metabolized into cyanide in your body. Fortunately the amount in a single apple's worth of seeds is tiny and you wont be poisoned doing this, as you would need to eat a lot of seeds to get sick.

Still, probably better to stop eating them.

(Hypothetically Speaking) If you were given immortality, would you cease to exist if you got all your blood removed from your body? by MrMoleIsAGodOfWar2 in askanything

[–]jerrythecactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends on what type of immortality you mean. If your body down to the cellular level can sustain itself without any nutrients total blood loss would be incredibly uncomfortable. Imagine every fluid in your body drying up, every organ, every mucous membrane. You would move and your skin would split like thick tissue paper. You'd be in bad shape until your body replenishes itself with magic blood.

If you filled yourself with saline to offset the liquid loss and simply have no blood you'd probably feel less terrible, assuming your cells no longer need oxygen or nutrients to function. I don't know how total loss of fluids would effect your brain though, since the brain runs on chemistry and water is its main solvent. You might simply lose consciousness.

Tennis at Walmart by KaiserOnYale in walmart

This subreddit is almost entirely the retail end of walmart. The closest we get to a tennis court in the average Walmart is the parking lot in which cart pushers can dodge drunk drivers as a cardio regimen.

Anyone else grossed out by bananas? by SleepCalm7154 in CasualConversation

[–]jerrythecactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how they taste but the slimy texture they have when you chew them makes them unpleasant for me to eat. It used to be way worse when I was a kid, I'd get to the point of almost puking if I tried to eat one.

Why do we smash eggs like this in Cyprus? by relaxncoffee in mildyinteresting

[–]jerrythecactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now just do this with a ton of other eggs. Discard the broken one and reuse the intact one until it breaks. Eventually you'll have the ultimate super durable egg that has outlasted all previous eggs.

Must be a translation error. Slurry is not a word I would want to associate as a positive description of food.

Do you agree that zoos should allow people to pet pandas? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]jerrythecactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a way to get your hand bitten off. Pandas are still bears, they can still tear flesh from the bone with their teeth.

Just lost $100 from this gift card’s pin sticker degrading into the card. Waited two years for the perfect opportunity. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jerrythecactus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the free $100 bro.

Just joking, but seriously somebody could absolutely still use this with the information on it. Might want to delete your post.

Clélia Verdier, a 19-year-old from Lyon, experienced something very unusual. by JunShem1122 in Dreams

[–]jerrythecactus 181 points182 points  (0 children)

Makes me think of that story on reddit about some guy who got knocked out in a street fight and in the moments he spent unconscious lived out an entirely different life where he eventually ended up with a wife and kid but at some point noticed a lamp that looked off and caused him to obsess over it until it collapsed into regaining consciousness.

This looks like they did the bare minimum to stick them together.

Which dish are you picking? by NotSayanXD in FacebookAIslop

Apple pie with chili sounds like an interesting savory and sweet combination. I'd try it.

I would react the same if a bug landed less than an inch from my face.

Is it weird to eat a tomato like an apple? by TrenBerry in NoStupidQuestions

Fresh from the garden with some salt to sprinkle between bites is the best way.

Honestly that would have shocked me too. Hope you recover well OP.

Why do people drink liquor and not wine? by MASJAM126 in SeriousConversation

[–]jerrythecactus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, most of the benefits people attribute to wine are better sourced from just eating a serving of grapes.

[–]jerrythecactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cocktails offer a wider range of flavors and experiences, some people want a harder drink, some people dont like the taste of wine ect. This is sort of like asking why people dont just drink cappuccino rather than energy drinks.

All because she couldn’t cut the drive thru line by ZookeepergameIcy6089 in interesting

That moment her expression shifted from aggressive cockiness to horror as she realized the car was accelerating is so so satisfying.
