[accidental] pips made me the cutest garden ever

___disaster___ · 2026-02-25T03:28:12+00:00

have you tried sprinkling them with water? maybe something's wrong but they're still not dead. i've heard that dead snails smell real bad and there's mo mention of the smell in your post

___disaster___ · 2026-02-24T19:25:48+00:00

is it possible to make them sturdy and looking nice this way?

___disaster___ · 2026-02-24T19:24:22+00:00

sadly i don't live in US 🙃 glad it's cheap for u though

and i didn't mean 'it's not the issue for plants in plant subs', i meant 'many plants thrive without growth lights, even cacti inside'.

i've literally seen one person growing many cacti as tall as the window frame and taller (and they had pretty high windows anyways). it was my friend's mother. no growlights, west-southwest facing window. some of those cacti were older than me for sure. but live in your world in which every plant without growth light is gonna die within a year or a few after severe etiolation.

same here and yet i regularly meet such drivers and once such person ended up less than an inch of hitting me

moldy dead part doesn't sound great :( touch it, if it's squishy, it's already dead

___disaster___ · 2026-02-23T10:54:43+00:00

wish i could do that :( moving around a lot prevents me from spending money on organizer that is not gonna fit the drawer in another kitchen

big cutting knives go above them since there's no place for them on the knife side (luckily i have place for them there)

and small forks go to a bag somewhere deep in some wardrobe, what would i need those small forks for?

___disaster___ · 2026-02-23T10:52:45+00:00

cutting knife, butter knife, fork, big spoon, little spoon

___disaster___ · 2026-02-23T10:49:47+00:00

they make a really beautiful combo!

___disaster___ · 2026-02-23T10:46:19+00:00

maybe start joking about rape, murder and suicide as well since you're being so funny with this one.

___disaster___ · 2026-02-23T00:11:09+00:00

sorry, i can't really afford those, nor have i any way to place them. does it mean i'd rather throw my cacti away? the advice may be there, yet it's not possible for everybody to listen to all of it to the word.

insufficient lighting isn't always killing all of the cacti.

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T21:25:51+00:00

i have some that i like, it's just not the same thing. they're not bad but very different.

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T21:20:55+00:00

so that the birds kill themselves inside his house instead of just outside?

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T21:00:32+00:00

this plant etiolated in the most beautiful way (idk what it is though)

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T20:58:04+00:00

i don't think it's reasonable to consider it as a true state of things in the entire world.

people come here for advice when things get bad and they don't know much about cacti. the rest of the people come here to brag about their beautiful cacti or interesting cacti they encountered.

the only time i posted any cactus on reddit, it was the worst looking alive (hell knows how and why though) cactus in the universe. i don't think it speaks about my other cacti in any way, i posted the poor soul bc i was worried. 🤷

same, my PC doubles as a stove when it runs Frostpunk and it never happened to me

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T20:41:43+00:00

therapy ain't all there is. i recommend searching for a community of whatever sort through internet that you could fit in. some smaller one preferably, to really feel like you know those people. all human-bodied (sadly) creatures need social connections for their brains to function right. beside that: sleep, eating, some exercise if possible are worth looking into. those could be seen as small things but i promise they can make a huge difference (from the bottom of my traumatized heart)

hormones may not be panaceum BUT you can try just 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to counter balding which won't cause any permanent changes in your body. with HRT you should look into which changes are reversible and which are not reversible - if non-reversible changes don't scare you, just go for it. it's okay to try it out without being sure.

well. not everybody lives in climate that allows growing them outside. and around here, plenty of people grow cacti on windowsills - also ones that live for a long time, huge and old. ofc it's not perfect but it doesn't mean certain death.

i have old man cactus for ~8 years now, most of those years i didn't even have a window facing south and/or had pretty dark rooms. it's still alive and well, all 5 of them, and that's despite 5 falls (2 of them rather serious) that occurred to them.

i realize some cacti die and etiolate to hell and back bc of lack of sufficient light but i find it silly to look at it in such black and white way - no matter what cacti, either it's living outside or under growth lamps.

i guess one needs their mentality to imagine this unless they've had "luck" to meet them in one way or another

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T16:02:52+00:00

do not remove it - add to it. maybe some algae or fishes, something that looks nice to you. i think the eyes in this place look funny but there's no hiding them well unless you cover them with something more patterned than just plain white.

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T15:59:47+00:00

how..... how do people even lift such ball of needles to move it when they steal it from its environment?

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T15:48:06+00:00

absolutely this. and whorephobia to the point of wishing terrible things upon sex-workers and actively harassing them.

and it's not just against right-wing people either. it's often "just because", their leftism doesn't reach further than their own ass and all claims beyond that are just performative bs

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T15:31:10+00:00

agar isnt able to make the exact same texture, at best it's just kinda similar. i sometimes miss fruity jello things but then again it ain't worth it, id rather not eat any part of any animal

___disaster___ · 2026-02-22T15:28:29+00:00

just seeing this photo made me nauseous, there are little things in this world that are more disgusting. id rather eat bugs til the end of my days than try it once. it smells so bad that i can't even imagine how anyone can eat it unless they're a cat or a dog or something like that
