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.
Oh we’ll still have national parks. They’ll just have oil and/or fracking rigs on them.
Come and visit the stunning Yellowstone oil pumps
Well I’m also one of the people who’d never thought of such a thing until they brought it up. Shame our local springs aren’t nearly hot enough for that kind of nonsense.
But cooking a ham is still okay?
I had never thought about doing this until now, and now it’s all that I can think about.
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.
Does this actually work to coock it?
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.
It would cook it, the springs are hot and acidic enough. You’d just have to sit for a long while. Edibility depends on your allergies and tolerance for poisons.
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
Ah, that makes sense
Here’s one more cool turkey tidbit, since we have them all over in my neighborhood. They really do fly up into trees to roost! They’re super loud and clumsy, and spend more time aiming than anything. They’ll eyeball the next branch, take a couple steps back, then make a huge racket and the whole tree shakes when they land. They fool no one lol
Don’t forget the dissolved remains of humans who fell into those pools!
Can’t sous-vide turkey in Yellowstone anymore. Because of woke.
Not to mention your turkey will probably fucking dissolve
My turkey carpaccio is ok then.
Why they putting ideas in people’s heads?
Is this a thing? Like… enough that they need to have warnings about it, Lego themed or otherwise?
