Based on nothing but the thumbnail… eeeeewww gross.

I think that's a toenail, not a thumbnail.

So many comments confused, but the important part is that the yeast survived in the cold.

Haha thanks. I’ve been making an active effort to jump on threads like these where I can sense the BS.

There's also labgrown mammoth meat. Here's hoping for actual dino nugget.

All chicken nuggets are dino nuggets.

Well it's more exciting to have
velociraptor nuggetVelocinugget than the descendant of it.Maybe crocodile nugget will fit more into the description.
grue@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 69d
Ironically, crocodile nuggets aren't dino nuggets. Chicken nuggets are closer.
'Course, if all you're really looking for is "scary scaly monster nugget" regardless of taxonomy, by all means, croconugget away!

Hopefully it's not spliced with frog DNA for no godly reason. I was rewatching Jurassic park last night and it really is a truly stupid plot point that absolutely could have fixed with 30 seconds worth of thought.
It actually has quite a few plot holes, we tend to gloss over them because it's otherwise such a good movie but there are aspects that really don't make sense, everyone tends to fixate on the third one but the first one has issues too.

I didn't watch them, but supposedly that is brought up in Jurassic World as the reason they don't have feathers and enables real palaeontologists to label them "not real dinosaurs".

As long as they're dinosaur shaped, I'm in.

I hope they used ancient grains for the flour.

Once I made sourdough with discharge from my friend's yeast infection.
slothrop@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 69d
Was it at bandcamp?
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 15 pts · 69d
No it was when me and the rest of the rugby team crash landed in the Andes Mountains and we had a choice between cannibalism or eating vaginal-discharge imbued sourdough bread and we chose the bread.
Codpiece@feddit.uk · 11 pts · 69d
Even in the circumstances, having a bread course first is the right thing to do.
Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 69d
Didn't a good chunk of the survivors freeze to death? How did you proof the bread in such a cold environment?
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 6 pts · 69d
We crashed in the summer.
Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 69d
Ahh, I see you have all the answers
snooggums@piefed.world · 4 pts · 69d
Wait, did you already have the vaginas yeast bread when you crashed or did you have the ingredients and make it in the snowstorm?
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 2 pts · 69d
We had flour and salt. The water was the easy part and had to get creative for the yeast.

This really gives me hope that maybe one day I too might contribute to society.

Yeah, but did it taste good? I want corpse bread but only if it's good.
spittingimage@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 69d
😔
...at least they determined what he died of before making his corpse bread.
Jankatarch@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 69d
Tbf if I was a yeast scientist I too would say "fuck it" and see how far I can take bread.
I studied the field for decades it's my right.
