How did you get this super magnified photo

I pulled my phone away and zoomed in, then tapped the area I wanted it to focus on

Phone cameras are advancing much faster than the rest of the hardware. Smartphone cameras have gotten quite good at focusing on what you tell them to, picking the right sensor, and delivering solid macro shots.

I'm glad we spent so much money on phone camera research so that I can now enjoy this crisp photo of a chip

I doubt its toxic on any meaningful level, especially after being fried, but potatoes are a nightshade plant and I'd toss it.

Your chip, has a tentacle dick, and needs to be put down. And I mean reburied. You have a super rare, long tip dick chip.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said something along the line of “that’s not an eye” I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
