Baseballs do present a challenge to this theory, but I'm convinced we just haven't found the right seasoning.
By the logic of this graph the Earth is slightly more tasty than the moon, yet the moon is made of cheese. Explain that, XKCD.
The earth contains bacon.
the earth contains sparse pockets of cheese, such as France. An entire celestial object of cheese would be overwhelming
It has heterogeneity which is good according to prof ragusea
earth has over 10,000+ species of edible plants, and 300,000+ that we can't eat
Can't eat, or can eat one time?
still, won't be tasty
"Hyperbolic" this, "logarithmic" that, I'm here to propose a radical new theory: all spheres are tasty, your mouth just isn't big enough to have the right tastebuds for the larger ones
Found Galactus.
Devourer of worlds for the uninitiated
As a fan of log-scale axes, Randall really ought to at least suspect that the vertical axis is also logarithmic. If so, the average 800m sphere is very much not tasty.
How do we know the moon isn't tasty? Isn't it made of cheese?
If so, it's a very sharp cheese. Do not eat, you'll cut your tongue.
One can only predict that rabbit poop is delicious.
My dog seems to agree with this sentiment.
Ice bergs. They are kinda round (less so with larger ones) and they are freshwater so entirely edible. According to the graph the object would taste "ok" which is a perfectly adequate description of drinking water.
I bet you could find 800-meter comet made out of ice. I would argue that the water tastes "ok".
Do not lick the space ice!
That is almost certainly the first thing I'd do to space ice
There's got to be an 800m wide jawbreaker
By this logic, beachballs are okay-tasting.
I argue that the real equation would be some form of y= 1/x
Based on volume, a baseball would still be in between a grape and a melon, so y=1/x doesn't work either.
I'd go for a density based equation rather than volume.
Astute point. Single-point blackholes must be delicous
You'll never want to taste anything else, that's for sure
Assuming taste is also logarithmic, it actually is y=1/x
Yes, that's your mom
So, James and the giant peach?
What the fuck is with the scale here? How can you even fit meatballs in there if grapes and melons are that close?
logarithmic scale
I knew the Vegas Sphere was hiding something
Of course, Deez nuts
Man....uhhh....you should get that checked out......
Unfortunately, I can't. I eat too many apples
My condolences
Where does the demon core belong on this
Peppercorns?
Whole and spherical, not particularly tasty. Changing their shape via grinding, however, unlocks fought-wars-over-the-stuff levels of tastiness.
Please explain.
They just have too much taste condensed into a tiny sphere, like mass in a white dwarf star. Grinding them down actually extends their surface area and if you were to toss the ground pepper in the air you'd create a haze of taste that may or may not cause a burning sensation in your eyes and respiratory system
You have me considering the flavor of Alderaan
In their base form they're an outlier. Ground up you unlock the full potential of the smallest spheres on the graph.
You gotta grind them into smaller, tastier spheres
Your mom!
^sorry, ^you ^know ^I ^had ^to
Hmm, rabbit turds...
We don't know if the earth isn't actually tasty, maybe the sum of all the tasty parts outweighs the taste of molten rock and dirt
