Mysterious Seeds

No, it's not the name of Bob's new favorite indie band.

Mysterious seed packets arriving by mail across U.S., including Michigan: What we know

A Clinton Township family is among people in multiple states reporting receiving mysterious packets of various seeds in the mail, apparently from China, that they didn't order.

The packets contain no explanation or invoice, and the envelopes often describe the seeds as a jewelry item — perhaps to get around restrictions on the international distribution of plants, animals and seeds.

State and federal agriculture officials warn the seeds should not be opened and should be reported, as they could pose an invasive species or plant disease threat.

This feels like something we should speculate on.

Chyna tryna ruin our agricultural abilities.

Way cheaper than spending trillions on planes, bombs, ships, etc. A room full of hackers & a warehouse full of seeds.

I ate them. Pretty good roasted with a little salt.

More like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds?

Neither. They tasted kind of like raw meat on the inside, with some dirt. Like dirty raw ground beef.

So pretty good if you’re a tartare guy

Sounds like Soylent Green.

It really is pretty freaking strange.

I just had a weird thought. What if they grow giant beanstalks?

Don't be ridiculous. They obviously grow Corona trees.

Just don't plant them...

From what I heard. It's probably a marketing scheme, they send out a bunch of seed packets, which cost next to nothing to mail, to random addresses picked from Alibaba websites or similar. The marketing people that sent them out then do fake reviews from the people that received the seeds and add them to their marketing. Oh, I received a packet of seeds, planted them in the ground and they grew great and wonderful fruit, vegetables and flowers. The people that received the seeds are wtf? and would never think of leaving a review, but they have.

Right, sounds like how we got Asian carp.

Well yeah, there's plenty of people that will plant the magic beans.

Now a days, those people would be shocked the magic stalk grew and the giant killed them too. 2020

Is this something we can blame on Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton?

I hope I get some. I'll plant the fuck out of them.

This has been going on for a while. Nordic is right it has something to do with fake reviews on some internets web pages.

I got like a cheap ass flashlight and a belt and a vial with some pills in it once.

I gave my seed to a few women during undergrad.

I'm pretty sure you'd be considered a traitor to this country if you didn't blame them.

I'm pretty sure those are Rona seeds, made out of combination of Pangolin, Porcupine and Bat shit. Those seeds come right out of a secret hidden wet market near Wuhan.

When you take a shit and then flush the toilet those seeds will end up in the local river or lake and start to grow on the banks.

I only shit blood.

My body is a perfectly fine tuned machine. There is no waste.

I crap thunder

One of my weird hobbies is that I like build nanoblock kits (aka micro blocks, mini blocks or diamond blocks).  They are like legos, but 1/4 of the size.  "Nanoblock" is a brand name but their kits are small (around 250 pieces) and they don't hold my interest much.  The kits I like are thousands of pieces and are quite elaborate.  The best kits are all knock-offs and lets just say licensing is a bit of a "gray area."  You have to order them directly from China, normally I order on alibaba/aliexpress.  

It usually takes about 3 weeks to get one.  Lately the delivery time has been around two months.  I am not sure why (I just assumed corona) but I wonder if the slow down has anything to do with them screening the packages more closely.
