Potato Rule

I do find it pretty metal that these Eldritch abominations that come from a poisonous plant are some of the tastiest things on Earth.
- It tried to kill us, but it failed. Was humankind metal all along?
  
  Humans are space orca. Don't think it caught on here as much yet compared to reddit.

- I just saw that brace of coneys a few seconds ago.
- THROW IT IN THE FIRE
This is the first time I've wanted potatoes mashed but not because I'm hungry...
- Vanquished potatoes sound tasty.
  
  Revenge is a baked potato best served cold.
- Mac wants the flamethrower!
Just found out today if they start to sprout even a little you shouldn't eat them?
- NO, that's not right. If they turn green you shouldn't eat them. If they sprout in darkness, so the sprouts are white, just pluck the sprouts off and peel like normal.
  
  Just don't eat green potatoes.
  
  Potatoes being green is also unrelated to them sprouting it just happens when they get too much sunlight while growing
- For what its worth the photo above is a sweet potato which is different and generally wont become poisonous.
  
  Sweet potato leaves can even be eaten, they are nice stir fried with garlic and ginger.
  
  However never try to eat regular potato leaves, they are poisonous

Potatoes can literally kill you with poisonous gas if you store too many of them wrong. It was a real risk when potato cellars were still a thing.
You can start a new plant from each of those roots.
I was curious how this came about, so reverse image seached. In short, it's lockdown potatoes.
