Fun random fact, the tool used to animate the smurfs hats in 3 out of 4 CG smurfs films, was actually created for Doctor Manhattan’s junk for the original Watchmen film.
I feel like there's more entertaining detail you're leaving out here.

Which makes sense as you want your house to be as inedible as possible. I assume they have some method of keeping snails, woodpeckers and other animals resistant to the poison at bay.
Amanita muscaria is not inedible, it just needs to be processed correctly.
I happen to know a person who experimented with eating dried caps and I don't think there exists a process that actually makes them harmless. Unless of course you're isolating muscimol, but I don't think that should count as eating the fungus.
While liver damage is mitigated by the fact that the organ in question regenerates, nerves don't.

ChatGPT's translation: Panel 1 Waiter: "Sir, I’d like to ask you to take off your cap in this restaurant." Smurf: "Take off my cap? You’re not asking me to take off my pants, are you?!" Panel 2 Waiter: "That’s not the same." Smurf: "That is the same." Panel 3 Cook (to waiter): "Let him put his cap back on." Waiter: "That’s maybe better."
I'll do a manual one that's more correct and captures the spirit better:
Panel 1
Waiter: "Sir, please take your hat off in this restaurant."
Smurf: "Take off my hat? You wouldn't ask me to take off my trousers either, would you!"
Panel 2
Waiter: "That’s not the same at all."
Smurf: "Yes it is!"
Panel 3
Cook (to waiter): "Let's let him put his hat back on."
Waiter: "Yes, let's."

The conspiracy theories I have heard: - Gargamel is a priest, the smurfs are prosecuted by the church - Papa smurf wears red and has a beard because of ideological reasons, the smurfs political and economic system resembles communism - Smurfs represent the seven deadly sins/seven capital vices Lust: Enamored smurf Gluttony: Baker smurf Avarice: Greedy smurf Sloth: Lazy smurf Wrath: Grouchy smurf Envy: Brainy smurf Pr…
SMURF - Socialist Men Under Red Father
Much harder to do with the original name in French (schtroumpf).

Not much else tbh. It was just originally made to simulate a thing with an attachment at one point and that flaps around on the other.
So his junk was the original because animators didn’t want to spend time animating it, but it naturally extends to floppy Smurf hats.

Oh no I meant the Pranfeuri one. Edit: Typing that out me realise that I could just search for that word. Apparently it's just absurdist: https://www.reddit.com/r/learndutch/comments/17nvt4g/pranfeu...
So it's a plumbus!
Yes, a pranfeuri is like a plumbus indeed! Curious how pranfeuri's are made though. Probably smurfs are involved

I happen to be a person who ate the dried caps directly and experienced not only no ill effects but no effects whatsoever several times.

the first smurf drawings had pointy hats, the curve is most likely a stylistic evolution. https://www.lm-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/schtr...
That’s still arguably a classic Phrygian cap design. Whatever or not that was the intention/inspiration, it does resemble them - the hats you just showed are not perfectly conical, there’s a flip at the top.
The article does state that the Smurfs and the French got the wrong hat and that it's supposed to be a conical pileus rather than the crooked phrygian.
"In Rome, a freed slave had his head shaved. Then, they would wear a pileus, in part to keep their head warm. The hat was a sign of the slave’s freedom/liberty.
Somewhere along the line in the French Revolution, they adopted the freed slaves’ head gear as their own symbol of freedom, but picked the wrong one."
Fun fact: You can see a pileus on the Ides of March coin reverse from 43 BC, minted by Brutus to commemorate the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC.

People have been using silly hats for political purposes for millennia.
