This is how TLOU starts in real life.
It already started last year
An otherwise healthy person can take care of a candida problem by eating a tbsp of coconut oil a day for a week, fyi. It’ll cause a big die off of the infection so you’ll feel like shit for a couple days while the dead yeast bits flood your waste management system though. Cut back sugar during so you’re not feeding the little fuckers while trying to kill them also.
TLOU was cordyceps, the same fungus that makes zombie ants. Thankfully not the same thing.
I always thought it was a tbsp of maple syrup a day to take care of a canadian problem
That just turns you more Canadian
Yes, I don’t believe you.
I’m glad you don’t, because you’ll look it up on reputable sources at some point as a result.
Here’s one in case anyone else doesn’t want to take the time to do that.
C. albicans had the highest susceptibility to coconut oil (100%), with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 25% (1:4 dilution)
Unless you eat 1/4 of your body weight in coconut oil this seems to be very irrelevant to human health.
Maybe if my body weight consisted entirely of yeast… that’s the realm of science fiction though.
That’s… Not how concentrations work.
If you eat a spoon of coconut oil the stuff in it won’t magically appear only in the places in your body that are infected, let alone somehow find the yeast cell and cover it in a nice toxic film, all while avoiding being digested in any way. You’re thinking of some pre programmed, intelligent coconut oil or, well, science fiction indeed.
Okay - I’m not going to take this further because I know what candida people are like, but even the title of that paper means it’s not relevant to a living human. Orange juice will kill cancer cells in vitro, it’s meaningless to extrapolate from that. Maybe a coconut oil massage is in order next time I’m feeling a little thrushy, but that’s about it.
You’re laboring under the mistaken impression that I care what you do. The way you started your book of a reply though, I’m gonna go ahead and block you now. Have a nice day.
Edit: A couple more blocked now, +2 noise reduction.
“But we don’t want people who watched ‘The Last of Us’ to think we’re all going to die,” Javaid said. “This is an infection that occurs in extremely ill individuals who are usually sick with a lot of other issues.”
bruh
Well how do you think it starts, soon enough the fungi will become smarter and start infecting less sick individuals
Dude just gave people ideas of how to get revenge on bad landlords, spray some spores on your last day and hope for the worse.
I thought that was the point of the image
That was definitely the joke, yeah
A win is a win.
Everyone loves a good toilet mushroom
Toilet mushrooms go great with crotch fries, they really bring out that tanginess.
Probably a terrible idea, but would these in any way be safe to eat?
Obviously not the toilet mushrooms, but maybe the ones growing out of the chair, cracks in the floor etc would be safe to cook if washed?
You want to eat the toilet mushroom the most, don’t you?
Its already got some nutella on it too
Mushrooms grow out of rotting organic matter. Oyster mushrooms are all safe to eat so I would imagine that even the toilet shrooms are fine.
Yeah the piss on top of them is just added flavor!
It’s not an attack, but I will never understand how mushrooms can be appealing to people. I will never be able to grasp it. To me, mushrooms are grotesque and the desire I see in people to eat them is the equivalent of craving spoiled food. The flavor is not enough to counter the texture triggering my gag reflex.
Yeah, yeah. We all have different tastes and stuff. It’s just a hard thing to wrap my head around.
Fungus in general is incredibly alien. It’s not a plant, it’s not an animal, it’s… something outside of our traditional understanding.
Quite reasonable to be put off them, I love eating mushrooms but they’re… creepy…
You can always try the chew test.
Chew a bit and see if you die in 24 hours. If you don’t, eat away!
I feel like this system is flawed but I don’t know enough about mushrooms to refute it
The way to fix this test is to feed some to the landlord first.
Most certainly not. Fungi/plants take up and bioaccumulate compounds.
I’ve never seen the term toilet mushroom before, and here it is all over this thread
Isn’t it amazing how the coming together of minds from across the world can bring fresh and new vocabulary to the world?
It’s one of the things I love most about being alive. When I was a kid I loved reading the names and flavor text of Duel Masters cards. They always seemed pulled from the most weirdest corners of people’s minds lol
My favorites were always the lovecraftian horrors that had really mundane descriptions.
Time to burn everything down and start fresh.
Yum roasted mushrooms
Oyster mushrooms are one of the few known carnivorous mushrooms. They’re cool (and edible).
What the fuck was I watching with someone growing mushrooms on sedated people? What the fuck? I know I didn’t make that up, people think of some very disgusting things.
It was an episode of “Hannibal” - episode S01E02 “Amuse-Bouche.”
You’re right! The internet is good sometimes.
Was it that one episode of Hannibal where the guy grows mushrooms on diabetics he keeps in comas in the forest?
Yes!
Sounds like an episode of x files
I mean, that’s an advice I’ll happily follow
DO grow Golden Teachers. Just ask uncle Ben for help.
This one time at my old basement apartment I went away for a few days and came back to find a mushroom had grown in the bathroom. Never saw it happen again after that one time.
Ive seen them at work growing out of the walls near sink drains and behind dishwashers where its always wet. Pretty fucking nasty seeing shit like that. Thankfully we were tearing the place apart for cleaning to prep it for a remodel.
The planet belongs to the fungi, they are just letting us live on it. For now.
Eh, they’ll just cut them back, plaster over the holes and rent it to the next victim.
Now that’s goblincore af
When I was in high school my family slept on a single mattress in the living room. For some reason I don’t remember, the water from the half bath next to the living room would leak out into the living room, and so the wall separating the living room and half bath would get colonies of mushrooms growing out of the baseboard. Those mushrooms weren’t as exotic as these, tho. I don’t recommend sleeping next to things that give off spores.
Dude being here, eating for free while having reasons to lower rent. Genius.
