This model of Oetzi seemed like an appropriate reaction:

Do … do they not pay them enough to buy food?!
Stop talking about it before RFK Jr puts it on the MAHA menu!
these guys got so jealous of the scientists making beer/wine out of yeasts found from the dead sea they decided to make bread out of a desiccated corpse.
at least they will be able to say, “just like mummy made it”
Who even looks at that and thinks, “Y’know what? I want toast! Actually, I’ve got a hankerin’ for jerky, too, if I’m being honest”.
Holy shit
Here’s the same AFP article but syndicated via CTV News. Fuck CBS.
Fuck CBS, indeed. Thank you.

I just thought it was cool
You say this, but your username is beautifully aligned with the subject at hand.
I only use fresh extracted gut materials in my P00ptarts™
The scientists then reproduced the gut yeast in a fridge.
So they didn’t actually destroy any part of the mummy, they just used batteries sourced from the mummy that they multiplied anyways for further study.
Yes, but isnt it pOssible that those batteries may have come from an extra-terrestrial source, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?
Stargate. Next question.
Yeast is a fungus, but otherwise right.
It’s an interesting article. Also kind of horrifying.
Don’t bring See BS in here please
“Mom! Mom! After years of hard work and study I’ve finally managed to become a scientist.”
“That’s awesome, honey! What do you do?”
“I make bread out of stuff from dead peoples’ guts.”
“…”
I think the plan is to keep doing weird stuff until we kill ourselves.
We’ve been doing weird stuff like this all along though, just look at beer, wine, cheese, kombucha etc etc. We let things get moldy then eat em drink em
Put’em in a stew?
Yeah we used to grind up mummies into powder to make paint and stuff, it was a color called Mummy Brown
Dude we used to grind up mummy and snort it for medicine.
Apparently people used to eat honey till they died, then into a barrel of honey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellified_man
C’est la vie
Seems to be working.
I sure hope this is privately funded
Yes, through a bake sale.
They didn’t have the guts to do it any other way
Nice
But that 100% will NOT be the yeast that was used to make bread from back then.
You can get yeast from basically any decaying organic matter. May as well get it from any old corpse. This is just corpse bread - and who wants corpse bread???
It could be delicious. I’m willing to test it. For science!
Someone tell Junji Ito about corpse bread
A corpse bride?
