    Is this like, some weird parent “lesson” thing you’re actually supposed to fake? Like maybe you’re supposed to put some vinegar in the good jar to prevent mold growth, and the goal is to make your dumbass children behave?

    I think this is a wink towards the idea that your plants grow better when you talk lovey-dovey to them

      It is probably true though. Speaking to them every day, means looking at them every day and thus seeing problems immediately. Okay, so not true, but still effective.

        I’m also open to the idea of doing research if sound waves stimulating something, somehow. At least there’s something to look at. But writing on a jar? That’s just nonsense.

    I want to believe that the kids mentioned in posts like this are playing along with their parents’ delusions so they don’t have to sit through another lecture about how the Federal Reserve is a Ponzi scheme and they’re chemtrailing us with fluoride.

      Haha you reminded me of a video of some poor young teen having to film his mother making chemtrails disappear by spraying a bottle of vinegar at them.

      He was so unenthused.

      Edit: I can’t find it. My guess it was obv taken down .

      I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn’t enough print money in existence to pay them back.

        Regular economic thinking doesn’t work on the scale of nations. Just like a family having debt is not the same thing as a country having debt.

        Pretty much everyone in the world has no full idea how an economy works and how to best stimulate it. It’s like a trillion moving parts and smart asses always go “yea this pin over here? That’s the one that’s the problem / solution”

        Pretty much no-one knows. We have ideas what’s better / worse but anyone who tells you they’ve got it figured out, is lying.

    Rice confirmed sentient and sapient. Vegans everywhere are in tears. International governments are drafting a Bill of Rice to ensure the rights of these beings. Churches are redirecting rice purchased for weddings to be given directly to their missionaries. Little do we know, the grains will soon band together and revolt, and the Rice War will be upon us.

      Oh man we’d be so fucked if all plants were sentient. We’d still eat, but we’d be doomed to commit plant war crimes to live

    All I can see is that this might be evidence that jars with green lids ate bad for storing food. Further studies are needed.

    Should…shouldn’t the one with mold be the I love you one? Since that’s what promoted the most growth and success of life?

    Huh, it really makes you think… some people have no idea how to run an experiment or about statistical significance.

      Nah, they actively avoid it. My mom was also like this, and when we did experiments as a kid and something didn’t work “we were just doing it wrong”.

        Sounds like my mom too.

        She practiced reiki at one point and wanted to convince me it works by trying it on me. When I said I didn’t feel anything at all her reply was “oh well that’s probably just because you don’t believe in it.”

        …I love you mom, but yes that is it and not in the way you think it is lol

            Yeah lol that’s what I meant by “that is it (not believing), but not the way you think.”
