Bright Warrior battling the vast darkness with a candlestick flame. Til the wax sword I wield is worn down to it’s stub. that’s the day I spontaneously combust
I would carefully plant that and insure that it roots into more potatoes.
I would then start a potato chip company called "Immaculate Chip Company", where the entire brand revolves around the fact that all of our products came from a single, immaculately conceived potato chip.
A photo of the "immaculate chips" would be featured on all product packaging.
A potato chip somehow made it through processing, into a bag and sprouted a live roots
“This just got weirder. This isn't just a mysteriously sprouted potato chip that made it up the conveyor belt, passed inspection, passed quality control and got fried — No, as it turns out, on closer inspection, these are live pliable, juicy, fresh roots. This potato chip sprouted in the bag after being fried.”
@elonmusk@grok The oldest man in the world in 2020 smoked 3 cigarettes a day. He was a South African guy. 116 years old; outlived every other man on earth.
An Italian ethnobotanist got attacked by a gang of goats for his mushrooms.
Giorgio Samorini was 13,000 ft up in the Italian Alps, studying psychoactive fungi. While filling a bag with some Liberty caps, a male goat suddenly charged him.
He suspected they were protecting territory or maybe their offspring, but...
As soon as he hit the ground, the entire herd sprinted over and started gobbling up every single mushroom.
He watched them for a while, noticing the goats ignored all the surrounding grass and would only eat the mushrooms, until the entire patch was gone.
Then they'd run in circles, shake their heads wildly back and forth, and play for hours.
After the experience, Giorgio went on to write Animals and Psychedelics — arguing that getting high isn't a human invention.
It's a biological drive shared by every single living thing on earth.
