Jesus Christ on a pogostick, is that Cthulhu's baby or something?

[–] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

The pogo stick is actually a broom and dust pan

I mean, potatoes are pretty picky about their storage too.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 36 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Root cellars were amazing things. My grandparents would grow potatoes and store them for a year until next harvest.

Boil 'em, mash 'em, use 'em to play doom

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

My potatoes are kept in the bag they were bought in. Last a lot longer there than all the other storage solutions I've tried like wooden bins, metal bins and refrigerator.

I mean, you say that, but I once had some carrots which had turned black on the outside and when I peeled them, they still looked and tasted like fresh carrots.
