What is this?

Take a bite

>>2462290
I took a medically safe one. It makes my tongue numb and it's sweet.

>>2462317
Seems like you might be a fruit or a nut buddy
That ain't no cashew

>>2462316
Yes
I've tasted them before

>>2462300
>tongue numb
That's not good, nigga. Don't eat any more.

>>2462339
It's more like it's so gritty that it makes my taste buds feel numb. It's not like it's actually a numbing agent.

Spread some on toast

Jesus fuck. That's Prunus avium, anon. Also known as a gean.

make your peace with god, anon, you just fucking ate a [spoiler]wild cherry.[/spoiler]

>>2462390
Those are shiny. Mine was flat, and more of a pale orange

If only there was some kind of resource that listed every kind of wild fruit and berry in the state of Minnesota. Oh wait

https://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yard-garden/fruit/docs/MN-Wild-Edible-Fruit.pdf


Bunchberry
Cranberry
Pin Cherry
Black Cherry
Currant
Squashberry
Wintergreen
Canada PLum

etc

There's actually a lot of wild fruit in that state. Easiest survival state in the world it seems.

"easiest survival state in the world it seems."

until you get to the -40 winters. (livin in mpls myself)

Fruit coloration and glossiness is not as important as the leaves and branch formation when you're trying to identify plants.

A good rule of thumb is if it looks edible, it probably is. 160 million years of mammalian evolution have given you the ability to identify whether a fruit is edible or not by its looks, smell, and taste.

Holy shit this is so wrong. There are a ton of berries in the nightshade family that will drop you dead, and both look and taste great.

>>2462637
That's a horrible rule of thumb
How many mushrooms are there that look delicious that will actually kill you?

>>2463912
that one on the left looks like it will bite you

>>2463912
Nightshade fruit tastes like an extremely shitty tomato, not "great"

>>2462632
This.
make your peace bro.

>>2462390
>gean
Those are only slightly toxic.
If you eat them ripe you'll be fine.

From wiki:
"The berries pose the greatest danger to children because they look attractive and have a somewhat sweet taste.[14][21][22] "

Rule of thumb guy here.
So how the hell did we survive as a species if there are edible-looking poisonous plants out there? Especially before language was invented so we could ask someone?

>>2464262
>man eats fruit
>man dies
>other man sees man die
>yeah, i'm not eating that shit
Woah, so hard!

>>2464262

>>2464264
It's not like they drop dead immediately in front of the plant they're eating.

>>2464262
There may have been one point, far in the past, that we instinctually could differentiate plants in a specific region of Africa.
That necessity was immediately removed as soon as we started cooking things and growing crops.

Whether or not that is the case, wild mammals die all the time from eating poisonous shit. Thankfully, most toxic plants let you get poisoned a little bit before you die, so experience regarding toxic plants accumulates.

>>2464290
No, they agonize a lot, which makes the learning much more effective.

mirabelle plum?

>>2464262
We survived by watching the retards that think "a good rule of thumb is if the fruit looks tasty, it probably is" eat poisonous yet tasty looking fruit and die, then learn which fruits to avoid

>>2464250
>druggie is retarded
>druggie kills himself by eating toxic mushroom he thinks is magic mushroom while high
natural selection at work right here

>>2463903
Foxglove flowers look obviously toxic unless you're braindead, wtf were you thinking
