I feel like if you grew enough to have a visible eatable mass it would be pretty goopy.

Though dried would be curious.

No nutritional value whatsoever. They would simply pass through your system unbothered.

  • this is a joke, but who knows lol. If they’re as resilient as they say then why would your teeth and digestive system affect them?

A sugar cube is impervious to the vaccum of space, radiation, absolute zero and complete dehydration

Yet I can still eat it

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's not very impervious to water.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 5 points 14 hours ago

The sugar doesn't gut destroyed or disappear, it just changes form and once you dry it out you've got your sugar again. Much like a tardigrade

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 day ago

We should be sending sugar cubes out into space.

This will incentivise horses to develop their own space program, which would lead to a space race between the species.

But how will they operate the fine machinery with their hooves? I hear you ask.

If they can pull a cart, then they can pull a lever.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well they’re probably a good source of protein in that case!

Fair assumption of a point πŸ‘

Chicken. Obv.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They're probably too small to taste and digest. You probably got some in you right now.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Indeed, but I mean like a lot of them, in large quantity, like a bowl of Tardios..

You’re eating your Tardios watching cartons and the cat runs in and spills them on the carpet. You’re never getting them out.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because they're so small I think a bowl of tardios would be more like a liquid, probably not very viscous, and more than likely wouldn't taste like anything. I think the "texture" of that would feel disgusting though

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 12 points 1 day ago

The biggest ones are about the size of teff grains or fine couscous, which is more like sand than a fine powder

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I never drink pound water though

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just started playing Death Stranding, have you?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, just a random thought of a question.

Now I'm scared to ask, but I must ask, is that a real game?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes. You play Norman Reedus with a baby in a jar plugged into his chest delivering packages during a pandemic while LΓ©a Seydoux feeds him fat tardigrades. Because Hideo Kojima. It's really good.

Allow me to reiterate.

Because Hideo Kojima.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know what the fuck I just read, but we need a link or three...

https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/death-stranding/

It's one of the most memorable games I've played in years. And a sequel is coming.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably taste like Doritos

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Ranch or Spicy?
