Apparently Ethiopian Baboons are starting to domesticate wolves, which is giving scientists new insights about what it might have been like when early humans did that. That’s cool pretty cool!

“not quite as cool as we thought!” scream scientists, as baboons riding wolves come pouring out of the forest

The first time you see how cashew nuts grow, you’re gonna think somebody’s posting a joke picture or a weird art installation.

ok but you say this….then don’t give us pictures 

LOOK AT THESE RIDICULOUS THINGS

And it gets even weirder!

The shell of the nut itself:

contains a resin that’s so toxic just touching it causes burns to the skin, similar to poison ivy. Which is why cashews are never sold unshelled, because processing them requires safety measures like this:

How humanity ever figured out to eat this nut is beyond me.

In case you ever wondered why cashews are so expensive. Now you can wonder why they aren’t more expensive.

what i’m wondering now is how anybody ever found out that you could eat cashews

OK but you seem to underestimate how scarce food could get for people, and how desperate they become to try anything. If eating it raw kills you? try cooking it because we’re gonna starve to death anyway. Cooking it kills you? Try cooking it a different way. Touching it is painful? Try washing it, or extracting the inner bit and washing that.

There’s this plant that’s eaten by aboriginal people of australia around where I live. Only certain parts of this plant can be eaten, and even then only if those parts are cooked exactly right, kept at a certain temperature for a certain amount of time. And it has to be exactly that amount of time as both undercooking it AND overcooking it are deadly.

The history of food is a history fraught with countless, terrible deaths because we are so stubborn that when faced with starvation, we will fucking eat poison again and again until it’s not poison anymore.

Some Paleolithic chef “I know like five people died already, but I think I got it this time.”

Some different, starving, Paleolithic person “fuck it bro. Gimme the nut.”

I’m still laughing like poor Dr. Bruce Banner really could not catch a single break for all of Infinity War….first he crashes into some weird ass wizard hideout….then Hulk decides to be a bitch…..he thought Thor was dead for a whole day, then he thought Tony was dead….he had to get caught up on 2 years worth of drama in like fifteen minutes…Rhodey tricked him into embarrassing himself in front of the fucking king of Wakanda….then a sixteen year old ended his entire life with one polite sentence….he face planted on the battle field and was judged so hard we didn’t see him for like another half hour….not a single one of his degrees could help him with any of these situations so he was probably internally like ‘I drove myself into student debt for this’ half the film…like really….Bruce and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day….
