Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Lemme tell ya.

I ate one bite of a burger. It tasted amazing. Then I put it down and said, "I can't eat this and I don't know why."

Everyone else ate. After dinner it was discovered there was mold in the buns. A few hours later, everyone else was barfing. No one who was there will eat something if I can't eat it.

Over Xmas, I ate a bite of fudge. I threw up immediately after- just a tiny bit, because it wasn't much food. Someone who wasn't there for the burger incident wouldn't listen to me, and ate an entire square of the fudge.

I had to go downstairs because he spent the night hurling, and I knew I wasn't a very sympathetic figure. He kept saying, "Throw it all away! I should never have eaten it! Whyyyy!"

I've been called "picky" and I say to them, the loss of not eating a thing because it gives me bad vibes is absolutely worth it every time it doesn't make someone sick, so I can avoid the one time it does.

I must have the opposite of what you have, unless it's gone very off I have eaten a bit too much bad food but never gotten sick from it.

Moldy bread, fruits in a container with a rotting fruit or two, bad yogurt. Yet my stomach held strong and made nary a sound

Same here, iron stomach when it comes to questionable food. I have never had food poisoning, and I generally double most "how long will this last?" advice.

Cooked Beans? 2 weeks in the fridge is fine! are they slimey? Well is it good slime or bad slime because maybe the natto I was storing next to it inoculated it. Oh it's disgustingly sour? Curry powder and a long hot cook in the microwave can fix that!

My food aversion seems to be so random. I fucking love bananas, I eat bananas every day, then one day, I'll be halfway through a perfectly good banana and my body will just go "nope" and the texture, taste and smell of the banana makes me dry heave. I won't even be able to look at the banana, and it will last a few days. The worst part being that I'm still craving the idea of eating a banana!!!

Damn, actual spider sense. Did you have any food tasters in your lineage?

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Not that I know of but I have no idea if I'd be any good at sensing actual poison versus like... mold. Or whatever was wrong with the fudge.
