 - I was expecting mole rats 
- Western European tourists on Antalya Beach, summer 2024, colorized. 
 
 
 - “I hunger…” - Jesus Christ on a pogostick, is that Cthulhu’s baby or something? - negatory ghost rider, that is your average everyday potato seeking sunlight. 
- The pogo stick is actually a broom and dust pan 
 
- Came looking for this.

- I mean, potatoes are pretty picky about their storage too. 
- Root cellars were amazing things. My grandparents would grow potatoes and store them for a year until next harvest. - Root. - heh - Root gives me milk 
 
- I’ve got a heat-pump water heater that keeps my utility room at root cellar temperatures which is pretty nice 
 
- Boil 'em, mash 'em, use 'em to play doom 
- Btw if you haven’t seen this guy before, he’s a Ukrainian youtuber called super sus and he does some interesting urban exploration. Not as much old soviet stuff these days for some reason but still going. - “Супер сус”. Channel name is in Cyrillic. 
- That’s good to hear, but honestly, I’m amazed he’s still alive. 
 
- “What a great day of 1841 in Ireland.” - Phytophthora infestans: 
- 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. - Mine are stored in their bag, too, but seem to go mushy after two weeks, so I have been looking for other solutions. Is there anything in particular you’re doing when storing them in their bag? - My parents would hang the bag in their pantry idk if that’s the right way or not. - Okay, I’ll try it like this. The next thing I was going to try was sticking them in a box, individually packed in newspaper. I think straw is what was used in ye olden times, but newspaper would be easier to source these days 
 
 
 
- 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. 
- a good spud, 'e is. 
- Removed by mod - then they’d be english - Removed by mod 
 
 
- I live in Norway and would make the case that everything we grow outside is like this. Potatoes, beets, carrots, cauliflower and onions are the most popular crops.
