And you can make a cannon out of PVC pipe that can fire potatoes at lethal speeds into your enemies’ faces.
Or their genitals.
Hmm yes I suppose you could fire their genitals out of the cannon too.
Bamboo is crazy - you can eat it, make floors out of it, make clothing out of it, bowls and plates. And apparently beer as well. I don’t want it anywhere near my house because one of the reasons it’s so useful is its ultra rapid growth rate. But it is amazing.
its invasive because it grows fast.
It’s not as hard as you think to get rid of. It does take 3 seasons though, so it’s a long process…
You basically just have to starve the rhizome and you can do it without chemicals even. You wait until the shoots start developing leaves and cut them all down, then just keep repeating that process. If your lucky the rhizome will start rotting by year 2, but it generally takes 3 years. You need to ensure it spends as much energy as possible shooting and don’t let it get any sunlight from leaves.
My favorite is breakfast potatoes. Or at least that’s what I call it. Other people usually call it vodka.
well, you did put some orange juice in?? that counts.
*fist bump*
Beeakfast potatoes are great. Roasted potatoes with eggs, ham, cheese, and salsa or taco sauce. Mighty tasty breakfast.
Eggs are even more versatile though, both about 200 ways to cook and prepare them, but also about 2 million recipes that use them
Yeah… but where is the egg based alcohol?
Literally 4 different ones exist: Eggnog, Ajerkoniak, Rompope, Advocaat
(though none use fermented eggs, it’s a liqueur of spirit + egg + spice, that makes an alcoholic custard)
Also, egg white is often used in cocktails, whisked with simple syrup, to make a foam, such as in a Whisky Sour
In my fridge. I make some every year.
Eggnog?
If you think potatoes are versatile wait till you hear about corn!
Came here just to say corn.
But what you said makes even more sense.
It can also power a flashlight!
Milk is pretty amazing, animals turn something that we can’t eat and we turn it into cheese and if you it put on a pizza it gets turned back into a vegetable
and unlike pretty much every other food, you let mold grow on it and it gets even tastier (and healthier too, apparently the mold is great for gut microbes)
for cheese but they use specific bacteria, i wouldnt trust mold/bacteria on bread or veggies, different species of fungi can produce nasty toxins, some are pretty deadly.
Lactase Persistence though only is 10% of all the population of the world
A high number of cheese types can be eaten by people with lactose intolerance because the process of creating cheese reduces lactose a lot or even completely.
wut
I can consume milk no issue. Yes, I’m northern European descendant so it’s what it is.
Keeping you alive on mars.
Only if you pipe in disco music.

tofu/soybeans+rice has so much uses too.
Fry your soy, add soy to the pan, eat it with soy. And it’s delicious :D
you can make fuel out of corn. Corn bread. Corn bourbon/whiskey/moonshine. You also get cool husks for tamales
You can make fuel out of potatoes too. It’s not as productive as corn per acre (obviously) so it isn’t done at scale.
Both corn and potatoes, hybridized by Indigenous Americans in pre-columbian times.
While ethonol is cool u need almost twice as much vs gasoline. The stoich point of gasoline is 14.7 a:f ratio, where ethonol is 9. However u can make a lot of power on corn because when u douse the pistons with that much fuel u are keeping things cooler 😎 but also why some older stuff doesn’t like the corn blend gas… Among other issues like attracting moisture.
you can’t grow gasoline though.
This is true. And while they both pollute, ethonol is considered “closed loop” which is greener than gasoline. But huge monocrop fields of corn aren’t exactly great for the planet either lol.
Dude I live near a place called the Irish Hills, they have a legit Monument To Potatoes on the main highway. Even more, it was designated a historical landmark. Triumphant!!
The chicken is a wonderful animal. Eats scraps, poops eggs, yields feathers and milk, and it’s made of nuggets
milk?
fuck kind of chickens have you got???
Chicken breast, breasts have mammary glands. Get with the times. (Kidding of course, chicken milk sounds like some made up AI bullshit or some very horrifying genetic manipulation). Can’t disqualify either unfortunately. I hate this timeline.
Pretty sure they got some hamster milk on iCarly back in the day.
Hot chicks.
Honestly, I would have guessed either wheat or corn. They make so much shit with wheat and corn. Not obvious shit.
Don’t forget Lembas Chips
I recently joke that potatoes are the best food in the world, it’s so versatile and filling that if China were to discovered it earlier they probably won’t have to suffer an age of famine
Ireland has entered the chat
You mean, like the Irish?
The potatoe famine in Ireland didn’t just happen. It was inflicted.
