    if I die I give permission for people on Lemmy to feed my body to their mushrooms. Or weed. That’d be pretty cool.

    That sounds like cannibalism with extra steps.

    Tasty tasty cannibalism

    Technically you’re being eaten alive by mushroom if you got fungal infection. It just not a very big bite.

    Some mushrooms eat live people. We just don’t let it.

    With global warming they’re adapting to higher temperatures, so it wouldn’t suprise me if they start eating us alive eventually

    I mean, if you want to get really trippy, the mushroom may still be able to sprout when you eat it, depending on what it is and how it’s prepared, so it isn’t even necessarily dead.

    I’m saying the mushroom is probably winning this until you fully digest it/poop it out.

    An interesting thing about atoms is that all atoms of the same isotope are fundamentally identical. In other words, they’re not just the same as far as we can tell. They are absolutely the same. This challenges human intuition about identity, because while an atom can be said to have a specific history, there is literally no trace of that history in the atom itself. If God swapped two atoms of the same sort, only he could ever know.

    Consider software. You downloaded your copy of My Little Pony: The Movie from a particular source, but if that source turned out to be disgusting you wouldn’t have any urge to delete your copy and then download a new copy from someone else. Atoms ought to be considered like software in this way.

    (This is relevant because “eating” involves breaking food down into individual molecules.)
