I followed these steps, but just so happened to check on my mason jar 3-4 days in and saw tiny carbonation bubbles rapidly rising throughout.

I thought that may just be part of the process but double checked with a Google search on day 7 (when there were no bubbles in the container at all).

Turns out I had just grew a botulism culture and garlic in olive oil specifically is a fairly common way to grow this bio-toxins.

Had I not checked on it 3-4 days in I'd have been none the wiser and would have Darwinned my entire family.

Prompt with care and never trust AI dear people...

I’ll see people responding to fucken lemmy comments with “i ran the question through gpt and...” like what the fuck?

It’s literally the same thing as saying “I asked some RANDOM dude and this is what he said. Also I have no reason to believe he’s even the slightest bit educated.”

If you really wanna just throw some fucking spaghetti at the wall, YOU CAN DO THAT WITHOUT AI.

This is coming from someone who hates google, but if this person’s entire family had died, I would put a LOT of that blame on them before google.
