Inedible as in anything that isn't food (ranging from something that would be dangerous, like glass, poisonous plants, or uranium, to something that is safe to eat but unpleasant with no nutritional value, like cardboard.) Eating the thing will be safe and painless.

An aircraft carrier, including all the seamen. I'm famished.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Start with the semen, you'll be full before you get to the food rations.

Asbestos. It just looks like it would be fun to eat

Are we talking about the chocolate eggs with the little toy inside? How come that's dangerous for Americans? (Is it because of the little toy?!)

C batteries. Had a dream once about eating em. They were chewy and had a nice tang.

[–] Una@europe.pub 6 points 1 month ago

Everything is edible, something only once.

I want to eat a chess or a domino set.

I'm interested in what happens to it as it moves through the digestive system.

There are some incredibly hazardous waste products that are very difficult and expensive to dispose of.

Dishwasher tablets, fabric softener, power detergent.

Smart to leave tide pods off that list, since they're already edible.

As much gold flakes and small nuggets as I can eat. Technically safe to eat, then payday next time I need to use the toilet.

Fiberglass insulation, please!

I am going to eat quantum superposition. That's right, quantum computing no longer exists. Schrödinger's cat is alive and well. Only one thing happens, regardless of observation. You're welcome.
