Ok... So I work in the forest, got into some poison oak and the resulting rashes led me down a rabbit hole. In Japan, and across Asia, a lacquer is made from a related plant; Toxicodendron vernicifluum. A "laccase" in the sap polymerizes urushiol (the toxic component) to form a lacquer to heal the plant's wounds. Specific humidity and temperature is needed for polymerization in human application. In the sap of this plant the urushiol ranges from 60-65% and the laccase about 0.2%.
I've been looking for sap composition of poison ivy (T. diversilobum) and have come up empty handed. Either no one has done an examination of the plant, or it is hidden from my view. I'm thinking about just diving in, cause why not! But it'd be best to have the data by my side before I gather ounces of rash inducing material.
Any thoughts or insights into this are welcomed!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I think a nice vanilla-friendly addition to this mod would be "some poison tree", like these that exists in real life. For example, a poison oak (for example, one poison oak based on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicodendron_diversilobum.
The sap of this tree would be poisonous. Players close under poisonous tree leaves, not directly in contact, or in direct contact with wood and trunk, could suffer small "bites" at the wrong time. That is, damage in the style of that obtained by touching a cactus or magma block, but with longer intervals (for example, it would do a small damage every 2, 3 or 5 seconds of exposure), not something exaggerated or important.
This tree, if cut with an axe, would produce similar effects (a "bite") for each block cut down, with a small chance of producing a short poisoning of several seconds to the player.
All this would be enoughtly harmless, perhaps slightly annoying, but in reality this tree can be used to cause more damage. The wood blocks, leaves and trunk of this tree, if burned (both with fire, or inside a furnace (whether it is consumed or transformed)) will produce persistent clouds with random effects such as poisoning and nausea, perhaps also weakness or even blindness. Then, it would be possible to burn poisonous trees to ambush enemy players or non-undead mobs, and deal more damage to them via status effect.
Or the wood from that tree could be used to make wooden swords and tools with an additional status effect tag (poison). Since wooden swords are weak, not very durable and not very enchantable, this addition would be balanced and not very powerful.
Of course! We must not forget the decorative utility. Although this wood is poisonous on contact (causing very little damage, rather a minor annoyance, by the way), its wood could have a gray-greenish hue, and door and trapdoors made of this wood could have some interesting decorative textures... You can use it to decorate the house, or decorate trap structures, but just don't touch it.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
They’re on standbi
I made a simple potion.
A couple of leaves from the local varriant of Toxicodendron diversilobum and hand sanitizer.
My tatts are gone.
No, you don't drink that stuff, idiot.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
You take away their little brooms
It was about a weak back.
It’s pronounced “Noel.”
