- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

At home we basically make this observation everytime we eat artichokes; how the fuck did people discover that this spiky flower from this plant full of spines had the base of each petal commestible?
Watching animals, the same way we discovered most things were safe
We cannot eat the things that most of the animals we eat eat.
No animal but us eats stinging nettles. There are all sorts of plants that need serious processing to be good to eat, even then many "safe" plants have almost enough of whatever poison they make to do is damage, but in the normal way we eat them they're safe
Did you know kale has a safe dose which shouldn't be exceeded?
