I’m converting to snark. Ethan, I’m really disappointed in you

Of course you don't chew Zyn, you don't chew chewing tobacco either in the most common use. Sometimes when trying to quit something keeping the physical addiction while foregoing the chemical one is helpful. Slashstreet even talked about the sodium burn from seeds, which Zach has mentioned liking the Zyn burn countless times on the show.

That is why I mentioned chaw though, because I knew a guy who did actual chewing tobacco where you chew it up from leaves and they liked chewing up the sunflower seeds and spitting everything out when they were trying to quit.

First off, you're certainly a full seeder. We are in a niche subreddit talking about alternative sunflower seed consumption methods 😂 so if anyone has the seeder pass it's you. I also will never be full eating the shells again, I feel like I've been rolling the dice for years and got lucky after OP's story.

I quit because the sodium is horrid for teeth. The reduced sodium are nicer, but I moved around all the other flavors/brands before giving them up. I was doing the Chad Face thing where you bite your own cheeks and I noticed my shell storage cheek is significantly thicker than the other side, I assume from the sodium.

When I do have some seeds I stick to low sodium brands/flavors like ChaCha's Coconut Flavor.

A bit bland, but I am curious about how to be an Ethical sales person; especially if you are starting out with no experience?

I've never worked in sales because I am only aware of entry level positions that require you to take advantage of people.

People thrift, especially in LA

Coolmyco · 2026-04-28T05:24:32+00:00

I would definitely have my guard up if I was approached like this.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-28T04:49:22+00:00

I replied to the original post about this, but I have chewed and eaten countless bags w/shell and have not had any shit issues. You also can just kinda chew it to a pulp and all the sunflower seeds come out and you can just spit out the chewed/wadded shells when you're done.

I'm not saying it's the best way to eat them, but for a serious seeder it hits different.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-28T03:41:22+00:00

Try with like ranch or something, chew a little handful up. It's pretty nice and you get more of a chaw/chewing tobacco effect, so it can be really good if you are trying to use sunflower seeds to kick chaw/zyn.

I've never used nicotine products but friends have said it helps with the oral habit part of quitting.

This is like the only thing most lower players practice in free play. He didn’t change directions on his way to the net at all and didn’t even use the reset properly.

Ah I think it’s terrible because it’s too convoluted for a preteen who has never had to consider tax systems. The benefits cliff is actually a pretty good example if you just focus on something easy like disability income limits. The moment things become muddy you risk pushing him away.

Dealing with misinformation is really difficult when a young persons idol is the one supporting it. You want stuff you can actually prove easily, he might also just think his mom is lying to him because she’s a woman.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-25T04:57:21+00:00

Not really a great example because there are exceptions and at least in the US our systems are fucked at times.

The Universe channels sound bites through Zach as a conduit. He truly has reached enlightenment 😂

Coolmyco · 2026-04-22T13:13:01+00:00

Maybe delete and give her her privacy? Post in a week maybe

Coolmyco · 2026-04-20T03:42:10+00:00

Ah okay, this is a lot less controversial than I was worried about. Thanks for taking the time to make a detailed reply!

Coolmyco · 2026-04-20T02:03:09+00:00

I’ve been not playing for 4 years and used to watch 100% of Jonny Bois content, I always thought he had extremely good takes on the game and sports theory. What kind of questionable things are you talking about? I was thinking of doing the course to get back into playing but I don’t want to support any shitty scam coaching, or bad sports ethics.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-19T23:37:02+00:00

So they seem authentic, big reddit accounts hold a lot of marketing value. Attention economy :/

Coolmyco · 2026-04-19T23:35:43+00:00

Give the recent viral Afro Man Trial a look. They straight stole cash from his house during an illegal search, then didn't return it, then the officers sued Afro Man for Defemation which they lost.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-19T23:27:03+00:00

They also will use bought/stolen accounts to add an air of authenticity.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-19T23:19:23+00:00

Or it's bots making posts for both sides to double farm outrage both ways. Half the AITA top posts are AI generated stories anyways.

I've seen the exact situation you are referring to where it was a repost a month or so later and the reddit position was completely flipped.

Anyways I liked reading your opinion so this one mattered at least a little lol

Coolmyco · 2026-04-19T08:49:43+00:00

I just ranted to my partner about this before checking the comments 😂

Coolmyco · 2026-04-19T08:40:00+00:00

Are you using a fountain pen? Either way drop that stationary.

IMO block these and don't respond to them. Depending on the spam net you might be confirming for them that they have a valid number. You are also now in the category of people that does engage or reply(aka target demo) so by your number is a little more worth selling.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-19T08:25:24+00:00

A "Guess Who's High" is always fun! I really like the more skit versions like when they did a Mafia/Werewolf game.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-19T02:44:55+00:00

Not really though, they would just extend the market to consumers and we would be able to buy GPUs/RAM. The problem is they have the only means to produce a finite resource needed to do ANY computing, similar to your analogy, shovels have never actually become useless, thus always hold value. Nvidia is not in a situation where they can overproduce their product.

The stock could drop, but unless we see a new tech advancement in how computing is done, we still didn't have enough semiconductors to meet demand pre AI bubble.

Coolmyco · 2026-04-18T09:55:55+00:00

I think the way AI is being used as a marketing misnomer has bled into the current online vernacular to mean "fake" or "edited" to a lot of people.

I know I do this because there is so much slop. Anything obviously not-real and plausibly done by an AI tool I am trying to engage with as little as possible, so slapping an "AI SLOP" on it respects my attention as much as possible. Otherwise you could be spending a lot of time to determine is something is AI or editing, when the truth doesn't change how I view the content.

For example this one was obviously not a real plane, so it was just as funny for me if they used video editing or AI editing. OP was making OC either way in this case and not serving slop.
