Potatoes are commonly described as a comfort food so I think it would be fair to describe them as emotional, although it would be a bit of an odd way to word it.

Yea, also every form of food. Even mathematics can ellicit emotions. Everything can be emotional when you apply that same sort of odd logic.

When you apply human properties to things and want to see things under humanity's framework... then everything is human.. potatoes are human too then. This is just an odd antropo-centric way to describe objects, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
