Arguably. The counter argument is that neutronium, like a whale, isn't scientifically a fish. Neutronium, like a whale, has no gills. Disclaimer: I am not Jewish.

You may not be Jewish, Beadle Hills, but you argue in the best traditions of our ancient people. Counter-counter argument: neutronium is not one of the 24 listed non-kosher birds and it does not have leavening

Also, I don't think gills are a criterion. Just scales and fins.

Good point. Neutronium doesn't have scales.

Ok, but it’s clearly not a bird.

OK, if that’s the case, star is a type of kosher bird, are you also arguing it can’t be consumed with dairy?

I would not recommend consuming neutronium and milk at the same time, no

I think you're confusing Passover (no leavened grains) with Lent.

Possibly. Orthodox Christians, during Lent, traditionally abstain from meat, including whale and neutronium.

But neutronium has no blood or vertebrae, implying it's fast appropriate

Presupposing that neutronium and whales are different, you have a point.

Marble Liberal @marbleliberal.bsky.social

You're not supposed to eat vertebrate creatures during fast times because blood excites the passions (our natural science stopped in about 600 ad). Does neutronium excite the passions?

I’d be pretty excited if I had an edible quantity of neutronium in front of me

This whole thread has been funny to read while playing Oxygen Not Included because you should definitely not eat the neutronium

And now I am wondering what critters in ONI would be kosher if any.

Even Christians aren't supposed to consume blood (Acts 15.29). Which is why we don't eat black pudding on Fridays.

>black pudding Okay, I had to check what black pudding is, and arrived at the conclusion immigration levels in the UK and Ireland are too low and cultural replacement of that abomination is urgently required.
