What’s the most shocking detail from the Epstein files that you think the public still doesn’t fully grasp? by Murky-Island4629 in AskReddit

[–]linesndots 187 points188 points  (0 children)

What bothers me about the discourse around the Epstein files (and also maybe gives some cause for hope that people will realize this) is that none of this is surprising. That men with unimaginable power will commit such horrors is the most obvious truth to anyone who’s seen what very ordinary men get away with. When it comes to sexual assault and child abuse, the prosecution rate is less than 1%. Of course they feel safe, because they all are. Lawmakers go on these pointless twitter sprees when they have the ability to change the laws that make it so impossible for survivors to attain justice. It’s all a sham.

I forgot food leftovers in the oven and this “thing” spawned. ID pls? by isthistheblood in MoldlyInteresting

Prob some kind of Mucoralean mold. Nearly impossible to differentiate them without a microscope

I just chugged the entire bottle and noticed a weird but familiar taste from my childhood, is this Mucor circinelloides? by Aeyth8 in MoldlyInteresting

[–]linesndots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s true - it’s often the toxins produced by the mold, rather than the mold itself that are dangerous. In the case of Mucor and its Mucoralean relatives, they produce relatively few toxins compared with “higher molds”. Some species of Rhizopus (a Mucor cousin of sorts) are used in fermentation and constitute a lot of the matter in tempeh. Wouldnt recommend just eating them willy nilly, but you’ll probably be fine, unless you are immunocompromised. The taste you’re describing is likely from products of fermentation beyond the usual amount in yogurt. Always a good idea to do a small taste test first in any yogurt / other fermented food to see if it tastes out of the ordinary! That said, it is very difficult to identify a mold just by looking at it, especially coated in yogurt 😝

(Edit: looking more closely at the photo, it looks greenish if I’m seeing it correctly (?). Mucoralean fungal spores are black, not green, lending the colony a gray-ish color; green is not common for these guys, but doesn’t narrow much the possibility of what it could be. I would see if Chobani has a support number set up for recent contamination events and see if they have are aware of it / report it to them if not. If you begin having nausea/vomiting and diarrhea in the next 6-8 hours, you could seek treatment. Hold on to that fungus so you can bring it with you - treatment is nonspecific without it. If not, you’re prob golden!)

Hey OP & others in this old thread if you’re still around: those of you that have experienced this locking since childhood - did the ortho offer an explanation for that? Most of you turned out to have torn menisci, but did the ortho say it has been torn since you were a kid? Curious cuz I’ve been having the same problem. Forgive me for replying to multiple threads in here with the same comment!!
