    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.

      Unfortunately I believed the whole states rights thing until at least early highschool but I’m actually not sure exactly where that ended. My childhood memories are full of holes and every time I manage to remember something I wish I hadn’t so I mostly just leave them alone now.

          That’s awesome. I have a formative memory as like a 10 year old putting on a magic play for 5 year olds, and our teacher told us that little kids believe in magic and it turned out to be true because they believed what we were doing

      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.

    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.

    “Words truly matter” but I can’t understand for the life of me what these ones mean. Can someone help me out?

      It’s basically explained in the next sentence. The words we use to each other matter

          They wrote mean words on one jar of rice, nice words on the other, and the one with mean words grew mold, illustrating that you should choose your words carefully. That was their intention at least.

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

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

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

    Eww after four days that rice is very much ruined. Freeze your rice and you can put the most vile words you want on the jar. Or not, because this is stupid and you’re wasting rice.

    No mycelium on either one I see.

    Next time I recommend staying silent and paying attention to the moment as you make your cake
