Also what do you see?
I tried to look it up, and apparently there is something called “black heart”
Apparently it’s something to do with how the potato has been stored. Something about a lack of oxygen, but I don’t know anything other than the few searches I found.
a science paper about blackheart
black heart and internal heat necrosis
There probably are other and better sites out there about this topic, but I think it is possible it could be black heart even though the pattern in yours looks unusual, but honestly, what do I know? XD
First, I don’t know. Second, I see a well postured cartoon poodle in a sit position, side profile. Mirrored in the other potato too.
Based take
First of all there’s no e in potato (singular). Second, it’s probably either a weird mutant or going bad. I wouldn’t eat it, either way.
ITT: a bunch of people not actually answering the question asked and a load of casual racism about Irish folk.
Talking about potato blight is racist?
No, saying things like “My Irish everything instinctively shivered.” is.
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.
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.
Your mom’s bulging cans are pretty bueno.
Is OPs mom single?
Well I can’t imagine how they could have more than one.
A girl I dated years ago had three.
Also, I thought I saw an article a few months ago that was talking about science on the horizon about potentially no-mother babies in the future. So maybe we could eventually have two-mother or even multiple mothers.
And there’s also polyamorous parents that co-raise kids. So if it’s a closed polycule with like 5 people, one child could have, potentially, at least 5 moms, even today.
Obviously, we’re talking about biological mothers vs emotional/practical/role mothers. But, even then, divorce exists. But if you want to just talk about bio moms, besides promising science (some that I didn’t even mention), there’s probably ways that some contextually specific intersex people could procreate, resulting in two biological mothers, even today. Or like one of those people who is two people genetically.
Basically, imagine harder.
Or like one of those people who is two people genetically.
Chimeras are fascinating.
You’re absolutely right, too. A member of my polycule is in a triad that co-parents a child. The little girl has two moms and a dad, and that is the only life she’s ever known. I’d be jealous of their situation if they weren’t living in Florida.
I’m jealous of people in polycules, period.
Also, I forgot we’re still in the potato post hahaha
Oh shit is that potato blight?
Yup
The photos I’m seeing online look way worse than this one.
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.
Is choclate :3
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.
potadon’t
I think this is Black heart
Thats a really interesting site, had no idea there was such depth to potato grading
I love stuff like this. It turns out there’s whole hidden worlds inside all sorts of people’s average workdays and a lot of the time if you ask they’ll just tell you!
yeah we used to have a government
I think I see my parent’s divorce in that potato.
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.
Foule meate
Quayle and Potatoe sounds like a phony Irish pub in San Bernardino.
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.
German psychiatrist voice
“It appears to be threatened by self actualization and fixated on its dysfunctional relationship with its Father.”
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?
