People who have accidentally eaten death cap mushrooms (amanita phalloides for the autists out there) say that it's fucking delicious (before their liver shuts down). Rabbits can eat them without problems. So if we use rabbit genes, we can crispr cas 9 our way to a good meal.

Not sure if the article is legit, but there is hope for an antidote: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/worlds-deadliest-mushroom-may-now-have-an-antidote/

I don't think we even need to do that, just extract the poison shit from the mushrooms and eat them poisonless?

Or determine what chemical (or combination of chemicals) is causing the delicious flavor, isolate them, and then add them to tofu or some shit.

Sooo actually why land mammals can't filter out salt from seawater?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Actually if you are on a raft with a limited amount of fresh water, you can mix in some sea water to stretch it out a bit. I think if you use a third seawater its ok, but don't quote me on that.

PSA: if you're on a remote island or dysfunctional yet floating ship do not abandon it unless truly necessary - raft will be always more dangerous

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago

Erm, if im on a raft im gonna be quoting you so you better be right.

Just imagine how many of these were first consumed on a drunken bet.

Rhubarb: most of me is poison. The rest of me is kind of bitter.

Humans: Hold my pie crust.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Rhubarb crumble is legitimately delicious though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Strawberry rhubarb :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

Don't get me wrong, I love rhubarb. But whoever first figured out it was edible must have been desperate.
