The Death Cap Mushroom, amanita phalloides, a deadly fungus, commonly mistaken for edible mushrooms. Ingesting one death cap mushroom is enough to kill a healthy adult and there is no antidote.

All parts of the mushroom are poisonous; cooking or peeling does not make the mushroom safe to eat. There is no way to remove the poison from the mushroom. The poisonous compounds are extremely stable. You cannot remove them by soaking, cooking or drying. The poisons are found throughout the cap, gills, stem and spores.

Death by death cap typically begins with severe vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea that comes on about 6-24 hours after ingestion.

8 Uncomfortable Lessons That We All Need To Learn

1. Your self-love must be stronger than your desire to be loved

If you’re not happy now, there’s no amount of followers, positive social media comments, or Instagram likes that will change that. External validation isn’t happiness – it’s a hamster wheel. Validation is an inside job. The most convincing sign that someone is truly living their “best life”, is their lack of desire to show the world that they’re living their best life. Your “best life” won’t seek external validation, but insecurity continually will.

11 People Who Gave Up On Their Dreams Reveal Whether Or Not They Regret Their Decision

giving up on your dreams

1. Honestly turned out great. I realised my band wasn’t going to get a record deal after a few years and then after playing for other peoples bands for a while it starred to become less fun.

I got a ‘proper’ job, started working on my career and used my new spare time to start playing rugby again. Now I’ve got a really good job in a sector I enjoy working in, married, kids, nice house all that stuff and I still play rugby on Saturdays (pre pandemic) to keep things a little different as well as keeping in shape.

Confession of the Day

Im m(23) and my girlfriend F(25) is an absolute sex addict. Anytime I come home from work She’s ready in bed for action.

It is a very nice thing to come home to. However after our love session. She wants to do it again an hour later. I don’t mind that as well.

But the problem is this is happens too much. Her and I have sex at least 6-7 times a day.

There is never a day where I am simply just relaxing.

And at the end of the day i feel like a squeezed dry toothpaste tube.

I have no energy and she is always wanting more.

She still orgasms during sex but its never enough.

Im tired all the time and shes draining my energy and my balls.

I dont know what to tell her because i dont want to hurt her feelings.

A monument in Georgia with instructions in 8 languages on how to re-build a post-apocalyptic society

They’re called the Georgia Guidestones and they actually look like the Ten Commandments. The five 16-feet-tall granite walls overlook a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia, supporting a 25,000-pound capstone. But what’s even more astonishing than their massiveness (four of the five slabs weigh more than 20 tons each!) is what is inscribed on the rock: carved on the polished granite are directions in eight different languages instructing the survivors of a supposed apocalypse on how to properly rebuild society.
