    TIL

    People, man. Park rangers are the nation’s cat herders. The amount of stupidity they intercept, well, I’m glad I don’t have to do it, and I’m more than happy to see my tax dollars fund their health care.

    Insofar as that still happens going forward. We may not have national parks in 4 yrs.

      I have three questions.

      Does this actually work to coock it?

      Is it at all edible?

      Is there any environmental impact or downside?

        Would depend on the specific hot spring. Most would cook and dissolve it. Additionally it would be very Sulphur smelling and tasting which would be range from icky to deadly depending on how much of the undissolved you ate.

        Doesn’t seem safe to try to get your cock in it while it’s in the hot spring. Maybe you could find a way to make it could actually work…but why? Are you a masochist or something?

        Is it at all edible?

        Sous vide method would probably have the most chance Of being edible since the turkey would be vacuum sealed

        Is there any environmental impact or downside?

        Yes. That’s why the park service is saying not to do this. You’d be introducing new chemicals into a delicate ecosystem and also potentially physically damaging it.

    I know turkey is kinda bland and gamey, but turkey that tastes like it was marinated in cigarette butts and used matchsticks somehow sounds like it’d be worse

      I’ve never heard of turkey described as gamey, and I’m genuinely confused as to why you think it is

        Depends a lot on the turkey I suppose. Some store-bought ‘basted’ thing is essentially soaked in brine and ‘natural flavor’ and butter, and a wild turkey is quite a bit drier and tougher and has a kind of rough taste to it from whatever it eats

      Don’t forget the dissolved remains of humans who fell into those pools!
