Henchman of Santa posted:He immediately moves the goal posts to like “the real shame is that we still use these even though plastic is so bad for the environment!” Part of it is because the media keeps redefining the generations (I've seen millennial be 1977 to 2004 at the largest span), even though those people have NO social defining moments in common (being 24 during 9/11 vs not being born; just entering the workforce (mid 80s people) when the Recession happened vs being 3 years old etc). So, yea a bunch of us "millennials" know what that poo poo is, but that is because millennial keeps being redefined by stupid boomers to mean "someone younger than me whom I don't like."

I had never heard of this plant before and this sounds terrible: Wikipedia posted:The hairs cause an extremely painful stinging sensation that could last from several hours to 1–2 days, recurring to a lessening degree for several months or more whenever the area is touched, exposed to water, or subjected to temperature change.

I remember my Anthro Professor talking about how 80% of red berries are poisonous, and that the only way we know "These are cool, those will kill" was someone had to eat that poo poo, and pass that down.

They pretty much agree with you right after the part you quoted "Perhaps few adults (especially a medically qualified one) would be foolish enough to try eating an unknown fruit found on a foreign beach, but children would be highly likely to do so, especially when they find it to smell and taste sweet, resembling a ripe plum."

There are ways to test if food is edible other than just eating a huge chunk of it and saying to your friend "try this, it's great". For instance the first test you should do with unfamiliar plants you're trying to eat is rub a bit of the food on your inner wrist / elbow to see if you get a reaction. This is also only valid for the particular part of the plant you're trying to eat and needs to be repeated for each different part. Just because the leaves don't cause a reaction doesn't mean the roots or fruits are safe to eat.

You can eat stinging nettles if you cook them first, and first nations people used them for tea.

Thinking more like, *rubs leaf on inside of elbow, waits an hour* "Well, no issues so far, good to go" *horrible rash appears two days later and doesn't go away for six months, I don't notice because I ate it and am now a screaming wraith haunting my former coworkers*

i never read foraging guides about berries or other plants, but all the mushroom foraging ones also preface themselves with "yo find an expert or else."
