    This is actually considered a lost art, due to the adcancements in chemistry and food safety labs, but identifying edible plants is a good skill to learn:

    If at any point irritation occurs such as rash, dizziness, stomache cramps, or drowziness, stop immediately. Do not attempt while preggers. I am not a medical doctor and this is not health advice.

    Wait several hours between steps.

    1. Collect several samples of unknown plant, make note of color, stalk, leaf, fruit/flower, and root characteristics. Preferably start with plants local fuana are seen eating.

    2. Dry some of the plant.

    3. Try boiling a very small portion of the plant.

    4. Apply results to small patch of skin. Record results.

    5. Hold some of water in mouth for a few minutes then spit. Record results.

    6. Nibble on small amount of boiled plant. Record results.

    7. Eat slightly larger amount of boiled plant. Record results.

    8. At this stage, some plants might grillable or burnable for incense. Record results.

    9. If all previous tests pass, attempt to nibble raw plant. Record results.

    Do not expect to identify more than a plant or two per week, do not expect the same plant to be safe at every growth stage, environment, or season, and remember most useful plants were identified as safe to eat in the last several hundred years and that picking up a book could save you the trouble. In a survival situation, it is better to rely on rodents and fish for protein and calories, there is a reason our ancestors were ambush predators.

    It took humans forever to figure out only the top portion of potatoe plants were poisonous.













  • Divisive left-leaning political articles that shame other journalists come in two flavors: people in the USA who hate Trump, and people outside of the USA who worked hard to get Trump into the white house.

    Tankies are notorious for attempting to co-opt any movement which has a chance of radicalizing people into antidemocratic views, violence, destruction, or just general liability to US security. Like when they plotted to replace MLK Jr. with their own figureheads in the civil rights movement, and also at one point plotted to kill him by utilizing the KKK, called Operation PANDORA ( операция «ПАНДОРА» ) for just one example, according to ex-soviet intelligence officer Vasili Mitrokhin.

    I have yet to see one shifty article from Common Dreams, but if I do then at that time it will not surprise me.
