Also what do you see?
First off: Potatoes are cheap and abundant. There’s literally zero need for any risk.
Secondly: I have no idea, I just wanted to point out that any weirdness with potatoes is not worth it.
Thirdly: I do know, however, that green potatoes is poison and bulging cans is no bueno.
Room mate searched it, it looks like internal bruising? Pretty severe, but yeah. Lack of oxygen, or freezing. Idk that I’d eat it myself, but it’s allegedly safe. Allegedly.
i see two praying mantises having a bubble gum blowing competition and the one on the left is trying to impersonate no doubt, not the singer but the whole band, the one on the right is trying to impersonate the daughter from the television show with steve urkel that steve wasn’t trying to date, you know the one that had the attitude? and she is talking into the telephone and telling the telephone that it is not time for tea while blowing a bubble the size of her head. what do you see?
the post below in my feed seems to be relevant to this post somehow
There is two things going on there.
First if you look closely you can see holes in the spud. This is insect damage, likely caused by a wireworm (larval form of a clickbeetle species.)
Second is a physiological damage in storage/shipping causing the black color. This is not blight or another fungus, but the tubers reaction to suboptimal storage condition (not enough O2).
I misread that as “psychological damage”. Poor potato.
Oh that makes sense. I wanted to bake them in the oven but most of them had this kind of pattern. They weren’t smelly or anything and had a normal consistency.
I think I see my parent’s divorce in that potato.
potadon’t
Dunno, don’t eat it
It looks like you may have thought the potato was locked in there with you but actually you might be locked in there with the potato.
That’s how you got Irish Americans
Is this blight? I know the famine the harvest looked good until a day or so after they are harvested they would turn black, and then rotten. Potatoes really get rotten fast too if they are frozen and thawed or something. But I thought the blight was more the entire potato going bad.
Blighted potatoes look like this:
The leaves of the potatoes would look fine, but the actual potato thing would be rotten under the ground.
Ah interesting thanks my understanding is actually limited to my recollection of https://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/famine/begins.htm
'… of The Famine began quite mysteriously in September 1845 as leaves on potato plants suddenly turned black and curled, then rotted, seemingly the result of a fog that had wafted across the fields of Ireland. The cause was actually an airborne fungus (phytophthora infestans) originally transported in the holds of ships traveling from North America to England.
Winds from southern England carried the fungus to the countryside around Dublin. The blight spread throughout the fields as fungal spores settled on the leaves of healthy potato plants, multiplied and were carried in the millions by cool breezes to surrounding plants. Under ideal moist conditions, a single infected potato plant could infect thousands more in just a few days.
The attacked plants fermented while providing the nourishment the fungus needed to live, emitting a nauseous stench as they blackened and withered in front of the disbelieving eyes of Irish peasants. There had been crop failures in the past due to weather and other diseases, but this strange new failure was unlike anything ever seen.** Potatoes dug out of the ground at first looked edible, but shriveled and rotted within days. The potatoes had been attacked by the same fungus that had destroyed the plant leaves above ground.**
By October 1845, news of the blight had reached London. British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, quickly established a Scientific Commission to examine the problem. After briefly studying the situation, the Commission issued a gloomy report that over half of Ireland’s potato crop might perish due to ‘wet rot.’ …’
This may be the only genocide in history where it’s socially accepted to make fun of the victims.
I didn’t make fun of them though.
I think this is Black heart
Thats a really interesting site, had no idea there was such depth to potato grading
yeah we used to have a government
Goth phase

Don’t forget wanting to shag its mother.
Freudian slip: where you mean one thing but say your mother instead.
Sorry. I meant your mother of course.
What does the potato look like to you?
Oh shit is that potato blight?
No I don’t think so, that turns the entire potato black, and it gets rotten along with it, this looks like it’s still got it’s integrity other than some black shit colonizing it. Potato blight they harvested all right then a couple of days later would turn black. So you do all the work, think you are finally set, then fucked.
Yup
The photos I’m seeing online look way worse than this one.
Is choclate :3
Are we using the Quayle spelling now?
Upvote because I’m old enough to remember.
(Riffling through my Rolodex of ancient webcomics.)
Ah, here we are:
Oh my bad! Apparently, i don’t know how to spell potatö
What screws it up is the e appears in the plural, potatoes.
Should serve quail with a potato but call it “Quayle & Potatoe” on the menu. For a vegetarian option, swap the fowl meat for some kale.
Quayle and Potatoe sounds like a phony Irish pub in San Bernardino.
