I’ve had a few friends who’ve worked in 55+ communities, old folks homes, and memory care facilities and let me tell you those old people be fucking. They be fucking like rabbits. It’s an open secret that an antibiotic resistant strain of STIs are generated among that population.
I’m gonna agree and raise you: I think fungi took over the world before dinosaurs did. Think about it, the vast networks of mycorrhizae that allow for forests to exist is all fungus, some of the first standing organic structures on the planet were fungus, and when everything dies it gets consumed by fungus. Hell, there are radioactive fungi near Chernobyl that how found a way to consume the radiation as food. Fungi are wild.
