This is your reminder that potatoes are an objectively superior currency to Bitcoin or any other crypto

A Potato:
- Shows inherent proof of work
- Hacker proof
- Valid in any country
- Works in any century
- Accessible at any tech level
- Delicious and nutritious
- Is also a battery
- Can be turned to rocket fuel (AKA vodka)

As lower socioeconomic students, our dinner parties would be just potatoes, with each dish being prepared a different way. Boiled, mashed, roasted, chipped, refried, in their jackets, patties...so many options

On reflection, i don't think people came for the cuisine

@peteo @nathanlovestrees @cypnk this is what it’s like to be vegan at a restaurant I didn’t choose. That and maybe salad. I was at this wedding once where I literally just ate salad and 3 different kinds of potato because there was no other vegan food.

@enby_of_the_apocalypse @cypnk I had a friend who was vegan for moral and ethical reasons but hated vegetables except for potatoes and the occasional carrot

@cypnk @nathanlovestrees I mean I’m also vegan for the animals, and a picky eater… going vegan made me discover how many delicious vegetables and ways to cook them there are, and all those delicious legumes. There’s still a significant amount of vegetables I hate tho. I guess meat eaters picture vegans eating plates of boiled vegetables when there’s so many nice ways to prepare plant based food (which ofc is so much more than vegetables)
