Once I made sourdough with discharge from my friend's yeast infection.

I hope they used ancient grains for the flour.

No it was when me and the rest of the rugby team crash landed in the Andes Mountains and we had a choice between cannibalism or eating vaginal-discharge imbued sourdough bread and we chose the bread.

Didn't a good chunk of the survivors freeze to death? How did you proof the bread in such a cold environment?

Even in the circumstances, having a bread course first is the right thing to do.

Wait, did you already have the vaginas yeast bread when you crashed or did you have the ingredients and make it in the snowstorm?

We had flour and salt. The water was the easy part and had to get creative for the yeast.

So many comments confused, but the important part is that the yeast survived in the cold.

“Yeasts that are active at very low temperatures can offer advantages in different areas,” Sarhan says in the statement. “If fermentation is possible at room temperature or even at refrigerator temperatures, energy can be saved since no additional heating is required. Furthermore, the yeasts could also be active during transport, meaning they could contribute to fermentation already on their way to the manufacturer.”

Haha thanks. I’ve been making an active effort to jump on threads like these where I can sense the BS.

Tbf if I was a yeast scientist I too would say "fuck it" and see how far I can take bread.
I studied the field for decades it's my right.

Well it's more exciting to have velociraptor nugget Velocinugget than the descendant of it.

Maybe crocodile nugget will fit more into the description.

Ironically, crocodile nuggets aren't dino nuggets. Chicken nuggets are closer.

'Course, if all you're really looking for is "scary scaly monster nugget" regardless of taxonomy, by all means, croconugget away!

Hopefully it's not spliced with frog DNA for no godly reason. I was rewatching Jurassic park last night and it really is a truly stupid plot point that absolutely could have fixed with 30 seconds worth of thought.

It actually has quite a few plot holes, we tend to gloss over them because it's otherwise such a good movie but there are aspects that really don't make sense, everyone tends to fixate on the third one but the first one has issues too.

I didn't watch them, but supposedly that is brought up in Jurassic World as the reason they don't have feathers and enables real palaeontologists to label them "not real dinosaurs".
