This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

first gamer girl beer, now iceman bread, what's next?
Based on nothing but the thumbnail… eeeeewww gross.
I hope they used ancient grains for the flour.
Phar out and but why?
😔
...at least they determined what he died of before making his corpse bread.
Once I made sourdough with discharge from my friend's yeast infection.
Was it at bandcamp?
No it was when me and the rest of the rugby team crash landed in the Andes Mountains and we had a choice between cannibalism or eating vaginal-discharge imbued sourdough bread and we chose the bread.
Even in the circumstances, having a bread course first is the right thing to do.
Wait, did you already have the vaginas yeast bread when you crashed or did you have the ingredients and make it in the snowstorm?
Didn't a good chunk of the survivors freeze to death? How did you proof the bread in such a cold environment?
We crashed in the summer.
