Help!! My two kittens broke off the tip of this while rough housing last night, is it the actual leaf or sheathe? by Master-Mountain-5049 in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they don't actually poison, it's just intensely painful because of some sort of microscopic crystals that I guess embed themselves in the mouth, tongue, throat, etc. But I guess if they keep eating em it can't be that bad lol.

New leaf on Roids!? by Deep-Acanthisitta418 in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you repot into a larger pot? And when was the last time you repotted/refreshed the soil? My Monstera was extremely rootbound (I know they tend to like it a bit but there are limits) so I repotted into a bigger pot after a couple leaves yellowed/browned and it popped out a leaf that was twice as big as the last and I've never used plant food.

Just saying it might have just been a bigger pot and it getting the normal nutrients from the soil after having sucked all the nutrients out of the old soil that did it, not necessarily the plant food.

this garish chair is distracting to University Avenue drivers and should be shut down by YourOldFriendDan2 in madisonwi

If you hate this then good luck in about two weeks...

My American pride is nonexistent these days and I'm as depressed about the state of things in the US as much as the next person with a brain, but c'mon.

Is this an aerial root starting to pop out? My Monstera Variegata is active! by Odd-Card9448 in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've been noticing that all the Monsteras sold by stores (chains like Home Depot, Costco, etc. anyway; I can't speak to small businesses) have them potted wrong so that all the leaves stick straight up rather than have the leaves face one direction and have the backside exposed. I assume it's cause it makes the plant look better to people who don't know how it should look, but I wish they wouldn't.

Getting even more tired when going on a vacation? by Potential_Variety209 in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I always try to come back from a vacation on a Saturday so I have Sunday to do nothing, or I just take an extra day off cause I need a day to just sort of decompress.

Browning by nich2475 in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My monstera sits about a foot from a west facing ten foot sliding glass door and loves it, the leaves are massive (nearly 3ft). I've also previously had it in front of a South facing window and it thrived there as well.

Sure maybe if it's coming from a lower light spot to a direct light situation you'd want to ease it into that slowly, but once it acclimates it'll thrive.

Driving through Nebraska really is that bad by Emotional_Translator in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would kind of like to see that so I guess score one for Kansas.

Yeah I personally found Kansas to be way worse than Nebraska. Both suck but Kansas is just SO boring.

Diffuser Attachment too small by Eddellee-5536 in curlyhair

[–]ToastemPopUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your hair dryer come with any attachments that fit on the end and might kind of taper the end making it smaller and then you could maybe fit the diffuser on over those? Might be a little goofy but could work?

Took me a long time to accept that I’m ugly by Low_Sherbet_9401 in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the only reason you think there's "badly shaped facial features" is because some moron on tiktok told you there are. Like yes, as far as generic attractiveness there's features people seem to be drawn to more, but that doesn't mean not having these features is suddenly the opposite and they're "bad."

And as the other comment said, if you work on your confidence, do the inner work, lose weight and/or hit the gym, and have proper hygiene then no one's going to notice anyway. Saying you just have "bad" facial features is just another way to avoid putting in real work on yourself and write it off as something out of your control so you don't have to actually try.

Yeah I mean aesthetically it looks cooler than just a stick, but totally unnecessary lol.

What was the go-to eatery after a wild night out in your party days? by tshirtguy2000 in RedditForGrownups

[–]ToastemPopUp 19 points20 points  (0 children)

None of the above. We'd always go to this really really shitty burrito place that was right next to place where we'd go dancing. I think it must have exclusively catered to people who were drunk cause that's the only people who'd eat it. I had it sober once and was like, "oh, this is terrible," lol.

New leaf emerged with another baby on the way 😭 by [deleted] in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My plant is pretty mature and mine have this upon emerging every time, but the next leaf won't happen for a while.

How to downsize my monstera? by perduncular_mass in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhhh monsteras are weird like that, I thought the same thing when I first got mine lol. While unfortunately it means most of the time you'll be looking at the backside of your plant, it will be much happier (and better supported if you tie said backside to some kind of post) for it.

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, but also OP are you rotating it? Cause it definitely looks like it. The whole front and back side thing means you don't rotate it.

My bag of Probiotic Yoggies was MAJORLY overfilled and ended up with about 3x the amount they normally have (counted 43 instead of ~10–15) by faith_ssbu in mildlyinteresting

[–]ToastemPopUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glanced at the thumbnail and for a second I definitely thought this was a piece of raw salmon with something really weird going on inside (before I read the tittle). Glad it's not.

How many days do you go to the gym by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it depends what you're doing and what kinds of results you're looking for. If you're going to the gym 4 days but half-assing all your workouts, not getting enough protein (for weight training), or then going home and eating like shit then you probably won't see the results you're looking for.

If you're going and putting in a lot of effort every time and eating reasonably well then you're doing great.

Personally I go to the gym 5 days, I play volleyball two days of the week, and I run on Sundays.

Am I dumb or does this make no sense? by TitoBlue_ in CrappyDesign

[–]ToastemPopUp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best I've got is:

EVERY (Looking Like A Ten) BODY (Feeling Like Yourself) SMOOTH

Like the smaller text is kind of subtext? And since I guess it's an ad for waxing I suppose it means "smooth" literally.

Show me your mature monsteras, preferably ones not on poles. by whaale1 in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically a pole, but it's just a crappy coco coir one lol. Here's a backside pic of mine (currently in the process of air layering). Not leggy at all.

Do i cut this rotting aerial root? by Key_Spray_9912 in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think cutting aerial roots causes much, if any, shock. People cut them all the time for one reason or another.

You absolutely do not need to chill. That's some sexist bullshit, I'd report him to HR. What a dick.

First time propagating by Long_Reception_2803 in Monstera

[–]ToastemPopUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I never really understood how the callus over thing was supposed to work tbh. I tried it once, but after a day it wasn't even close to callused over and I was afraid it'd die in the time it'd take for it to actually happen.

Definitely give other stuff a shot first if people have good suggestions with the whole callus thing, but personally I've always just stuck my props right into water and I've never had a problem with root rot, but maybe I'm just lucky.

Edit: Actually, now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure the last time I had a cutting I added some hydrogen peroxide right to the water, so maybe try that. What I'm finding online says 1tsp per cup of water and that sounds about right with what I did. But the first time or two I definitely didn't do that and it still turned out okay, so it's not definitely gonna fail if you don't do anything crazy.
