    Hell no that isn’t safe to eat!

    How did you ancestors survive for 5 billion years with instincts like that?

          For the most part of the 5 billion years your ancestors were the same

              No ancestors 5 billion years ago unless you count the space dust slowly collecting together.

          How do you think our ancestors figured out what is or isn’t edible? I don’t think they used Wikipedia.

      I gotta say lemmy has been so friendly, I realised it’s the nastiest comment I’ve seen on fediverse, despite being fairly minor in the scope of things.

      they didn’t starve because they didn’t throw away good food due to some blemishes on the skin. i’d cut it open to make sure there’s nothing actually alive inside it but beyond that I eat produce that looks like that from my garden literally every day from like June through October

      Like others I can’t tell if this is sarcasm. But as a farmer who has eaten fruit and vegetables in all manner of conditions, I can almost guarantee that this is safe to eat. It might not be the most appetizing, but unless it’s rotten or moldy (and most likely even then), it’s not going to hurt you.

      Bug damage, which this likely is, is not unsafe. Gross maybe.
