…what kind of pine nuts are you eating? the ones i’ve eaten are just seeds, not made of wood. i wouldn’t want bark or wood chips in a salad, would you?
the plane is a classic example of survivor bias: only the planes that didn’t get shot in critical areas returned, but at first the response was to add armor to the places that got shot the most, which is the wrong action since clearly if they got shot that much it didn’t really matter for the survival of the plane.
The pine nuts are the seeds that are inside the pine cones. The pinecone being wooden clearly didn’t stop us from prying them apart and eating it’s content
yeah but you don’t eat the pinecone lol, you pry it apart to get to the non-wooden bit, because basically the only things that eat wood are fungi and beavers.
only the woody things survive, because they’re woody and thus pretty difficult to put in a salad
People put pine nuts in salads all the time, and rodents do as well. It’s also one of the 5 ingredients of pesto.
And why the airplane?
