Just yesterday I ran into some chucklehead here on Lemmy that had convinced themselves that the average person would interpret "crypto" to mean SSL rather than cryptocurrency.
I had one last week here on claiming the average person could feed themselves for years by growing cherry tomatoes from 6 tiny plants. Bro is supposed to be a big-time agricultural bigwig
Makes sense. Human beings don't actually need proteins or fats.
At least dead ones dont
Proteins and fats are for the weak. ARE YOU A FUCKING WEAK LOOSER?? No? THEN WHATS STOPPING YOU???
Cherry tomatoes are the things you put in a salad at a restaurant to feel healthy, then pick them out once you get back to the table.
What? Cherry tomatoes are good
For compost, yeah
Look I'm not saying you're wrong or anything just that I really don't appreciate you stalking me.
Wut? Are we talking about one of those "salads" with mayo, eggs, bacon strips, croutons, sugary dressing and whatnot?
Because if not, then cherry tomatoes are going to be pretty much the sweetest thing you'll find for your salad. I'd definitely still call them healthy, but not more so than the other ingredients of a salad...
Yep, that's pretty much the standard salad where I live. Most people understand that's not really healthy, but it still feels healthier than bread sticks and butter. The cherry tomatoes are the extra convincing we need to actually call it "healthy"
That seems like the opposite problem
As a small time backyard gardener I can say from experience that 4 plants made more cherry tomatoes than I could reasonably eat. I was giving ziplock bags of cherry tomatoes away to people at work for a couple months. They probably did produce a year's worth of cherry tomatoes, but they don't refrigerate or freeze particularly well and they're not a great choice for making tomato sauce because of their liquid/pulp/skin ratio.
Similarly I've found that I can grow a year's supply of red pepper flakes with a whopping two cayenne plants. The rate at which I consume red pepper flakes, I'm about out by the time this year's peppers start ripening.
I'm able, in my tiny little garden, to grow more of single kinds of foods than I can reasonably eat. I cannot grow enough to sustain my entire diet; I'd need more land than I own to grow grain.
