These are growing wild Southern NY.
I can’t ID, what it is and if edible. They are a ground vine.
I ate one with no ill results.

There's nothing civil about this war.
Typically it's probably best to identify a plant before putting it in your mouth to observe negative effects.

I was going to say "Thank you, Captain Obvious"...but apparently that isn't apropos in the current situation.

It might only be mildly poisonous. You’d have to eat a whole bunch of them to be able to tell.
Best to call 911 and let them know the nature of your experiment beforehand.
Oh, and be sure to bag up a sample so you have it ready when the medics show up. Saves time.

Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?
I do quite a bit of work with wild edibles and really would suggest not doing that again.
It's true that most toxic plants have a pretty high LD50. You'd have to eat a bucket ful of most things, and would be provided with A Clue such as stomach cramps, vomiting and such that what you are doing is a bad idea.
But there are things that can really hurt you in s mall quantities.
As far as ID'ing that plant, I have some guesses but most of my knowledge is about stuff in the PNW. There is most like a Facebook group for local plant nerds that will be happy to help you.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
take it to your local agricultural extension agent
If you're on FB, become a member of Plant Identification and ask there. It's very active so you may want to discontinue once your done.
