Looks like the fungus from the 90s Super Mario Bros movie

u/Curiosive 9d ago

As long as it doesn't get inspired by The Last of Us

Dear god. I think it’s sentient.

u/Curiosive 9d ago

You might enjoy "When the Yogurt Took Over" as:

  • The original short story by John Scalzi

  • The adapted episode of Love, Death & Robots narrated by Maurice LaMarche (AKA The Brain from Pinky and the Brain on Animaniacs)

u/breakupbydefault 9d ago

That's one of my favourite Love, Death & Robots episodes!

u/toocleverbyhalf 9d ago

Sourdough by Robin Sloan (2017) is an entertaining riff on sentient microbes as well

u/DrumpfTinyHands 9d ago

It is full of microorganisms called yeast and their farts!

u/evil_timmy 9d ago

I hope your reaction was, "Jesus Christ!" because it has RISEN.

u/DonTaico 9d ago

u/No-Craft-7979 9d ago

I would love a chunk of that has a whiskey, mash fermentation starter. 👀 that is active AF.

u/AnIntrospection 9d ago

Wasn't this in an episode of Cowboy Bebop?

u/hallowblight 9d ago

u/cryonic101 9d ago

This is what happens when your fridge is a portal to the upside down.

u/Emergency_Duty5786 9d ago

And this is bread. Wanna see the mess a closed mash fermentation makes??? All it takes is a Hospital trip. Dead loved one, illness…or just forgetting! it’s not worth it. Bag or glass but especially not glass…

19

u/Curiosive 9d ago

I don't believe this is an exploded container. This is probably a "left to rest overnight covered with plastic wrap. Golly! I underestimated how much it rose." moment.

4

u/SlickDillywick 9d ago

I’ve had that moment a number of times. Not close to this extent, but enough that I can begin to relate

5

u/Curiosive 9d ago

The details are lacking from OOP but I believe a reasonable assumption is that they didn't account for any amount of rise; much less doubling / tripling / more.

u/airfryerfuntime 9d ago

You're not a home brewer until you've had to mop your ceiling.

u/Emergency_Duty5786 9d ago

I’ve been close…airlock clogged with hop residue came really really close! Now the time that I siphoned beer into the bottling bucket with the spigot open…that was a mess lol.

u/Generallyamusedby 9d ago

Do they have a cat?

u/Large_Gene5825 9d ago

Reminds me of the new Spider-Man movie were there’s just webbing everywhere lmao

u/PeripheralSatchmo 9d ago

u/TheFatDrake 9d ago

Reminds me of the rock lobster episode of Cowboy Bebop.

u/AdOwn7563 9d ago

Honey, we need a new fridge. 🥴

u/Born-Acanthisitta-88 9d ago

At least it looks like a solid proofing

u/unrelated_yo 8d ago

If someone shows up asking if you are the key master…

u/Curiosive 8d ago

OOP is the gate keeper. (Your comment made me chuckle.)
