minus-squareMentalEdge@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-223 hours agoUranium has nuclear energy. But if we are gonna count that when discussing food, then every atom has a shitton of energy. Uranium just happens to be easy to split, hence we can actually use the nuclear energy. But if you could split the atoms of bread, that’s gona release unimagineable amounts of energy, too.
