If tardigrades can thrive in so many extreme conditions, then how nutritious are they, and what do they taste like?

    No nutritional value whatsoever. They would simply pass through your system unbothered.

    • this is a joke, but who knows lol. If they’re as resilient as they say then why would your teeth and digestive system affect them?

      A sugar cube is impervious to the vaccum of space, radiation, absolute zero and complete dehydration

      Yet I can still eat it

        We should be sending sugar cubes out into space.

        This will incentivise horses to develop their own space program, which would lead to a space race between the species.

        But how will they operate the fine machinery with their hooves? I hear you ask.

        If they can pull a cart, then they can pull a lever.

        It’s not very impervious to water.

          The sugar doesn’t gut destroyed or disappear, it just changes form and once you dry it out you’ve got your sugar again. Much like a tardigrade

        Well they’re probably a good source of protein in that case!

    They’re probably too small to taste and digest. You probably got some in you right now.

      Indeed, but I mean like a lot of them, in large quantity, like a bowl of Tardios…

        You’re eating your Tardios watching cartons and the cat runs in and spills them on the carpet. You’re never getting them out.

        Because they’re so small I think a bowl of tardios would be more like a liquid, probably not very viscous, and more than likely wouldn’t taste like anything. I think the “texture” of that would feel disgusting though

          The biggest ones are about the size of teff grains or fine couscous, which is more like sand than a fine powder

      No, just a random thought of a question.

      Now I’m scared to ask, but I must ask, is that a real game?

        Yes. You play Norman Reedus with a baby in a jar plugged into his chest delivering packages during a pandemic while Léa Seydoux feeds him fat tardigrades. Because Hideo Kojima. It’s really good.

                Because Hideo Kojima.

            It’s one of the most memorable games I’ve played in years. And a sequel is coming.

    I feel like if you grew enough to have a visible eatable mass it would be pretty goopy.

    Though dried would be curious.
