Baseballs do present a challenge to this theory, but I’m convinced we just haven’t found the right seasoning.
By the logic of this graph the Earth is slightly more tasty than the moon, yet the moon is made of cheese. Explain that, XKCD.
The earth contains bacon.
the earth contains sparse pockets of cheese, such as France. An entire celestial object of cheese would be overwhelming
It has heterogeneity which is good according to prof ragusea
earth has over 10,000+ species of edible plants, and 300,000+ that we can’t eat
Can’t eat, or can eat one time?
still, won’t be tasty
“Hyperbolic” this, “logarithmic” that, I’m here to propose a radical new theory: all spheres are tasty, your mouth just isn’t big enough to have the right tastebuds for the larger ones
Found Galactus.
Devourer of worlds for the uninitiated
As a fan of log-scale axes, Randall really ought to at least suspect that the vertical axis is also logarithmic. If so, the average 800m sphere is very much not tasty.
Senses usually are log scale so I assume this would also be correct
How do we know the moon isn’t tasty? Isn’t it made of cheese?
If so, it’s a very sharp cheese. Do not eat, you’ll cut your tongue.
One can only predict that rabbit poop is delicious.
My dog seems to agree with this sentiment.
Rabbits seem to enthusiastically agree as well
I have many rabbits near me. I also have many rabbit poops. I have never observed rabbits eating poop in the wild. Are your rabbits special?
Rabbits have two kinds of poop: the hard little Cocoa Pebble looking ones and the soft glossy cluster-of-grapes looking ones. The former have been fully digested, the latter are designed to be eaten again to extract more nutrients.
I have to assume your are serious. that’s disgusting. TIL. btw, are there any other animals you know of that do similar? do they always eat their shits or just when fresh food is scarce? I love that you used the word “designed”. what a glorious Lord that designed an animal and declared “you shall be gifted the ability to eat the same thing twice; second time not as nice”
It’s always, it’s a solution to the high-fiber low-nutrient herbivorous diet they have. Larger herbivores tend to have longer digestive tracts, rabbits use cecotropes. Designed was just shorthand for it being a regular function of their body and not some fluke of desperation.
Ice bergs. They are kinda round (less so with larger ones) and they are freshwater so entirely edible. According to the graph the object would taste “ok” which is a perfectly adequate description of drinking water.
I bet you could find 800-meter comet made out of ice. I would argue that the water tastes “ok”.
Do not lick the space ice!
That is almost certainly the first thing I’d do to space ice
There’s got to be an 800m wide jawbreaker
That’s what Ed Edd and Eddy live on.
By this logic, beachballs are okay-tasting.
I argue that the real equation would be some form of y= 1/x
Based on volume, a baseball would still be in between a grape and a melon, so y=1/x doesn’t work either.
I’d go for a density based equation rather than volume.
Astute point. Single-point blackholes must be delicous
You’ll never want to taste anything else, that’s for sure
Assuming taste is also logarithmic, it actually is y=1/x
Yes, that’s your mom
So, James and the giant peach?
I knew the Vegas Sphere was hiding something
What the fuck is with the scale here? How can you even fit meatballs in there if grapes and melons are that close?
logarithmic scale
Of course, Deez nuts
Man…uhhh…you should get that checked out…
Unfortunately, I can’t. I eat too many apples
My condolences
Where does the demon core belong on this
