I am planning to move to northeast Maine in the near future....

does mint grow really easily? i’m always stingy with using them for dishes so i can use them for as many dishes as possible since it’s kind of expensive lol. Unfortunately the soil where i live is kind of sandy though and water just sits on top of it when i water plants

mint grows like. DANGEROUSLY easily lol.

you HAVE to contain it to a pot unless you want it to take over your yard as a leafy dictator, and it is a wildly forgiving plant. i've been negligent and thought i've killed it off for sure before, but a little water and some sun and it pops back to life.

honestly, if you have no experience with growing stuff, mint is a pretty safe entry plant. it'll put up with a lot and give you a HUGE return on investment. you can trim it down to like. an inch. and it'll be trying to bust out of its pot again within the month.

Unless it's me.

I *intentionally* put mint in the ground so it would live.

It did not. I killed it somehow.

I have killed a blackberry bush. In Georgia. Where they grow wild on the side of highways.

I have the brownest of brown thumbs.

I have killed so many succulents I've lost count. Because people keep giving them to me because *surely* I can keep a succulent alive! They barely need any care!

Nope. Dead.

I've killed a cactus by lack of watering. When it was outside. In Georgia where it actually rains on occasion.

It died in *summer*.

If you want a plant dead, tell me to take care of it. Leave me detailed instructions, too. Tell me exactly how much and when to water. When to cover. When to bring in. When to leave out. I'll follow them *to the letter*.

And it will die.

It's almost a gift.

Except I have a dream of a little garden and little orchard where I go and get my own fresh herbs and fruits and veggies like a good little homesteader.

And I know if I ever do much as set foot in a garden center, every plant will die just from being in my presence.

go to this random coordinates generator and say in the tags how you would fare if you were dropped where it generates without warning. i’ll go first i’d be dropped in the middle of the fucking south atlantic ocean and perish

1. Ensnaring strike

Neat, I guess. I figure I can use it against asshole drivers. Like the ones that zoom up the shoulder or the like. Also probably good fur hunting when the supply chain collapses and we're all back to hunter-gatherer levels.

2. Cordon of Arrows

Ok. Now their car is getting absolutely perforated. Also, I could take down so many birds for food. But knowing me I'd try it on a moose and just piss it off.

Hugely curious about the stats of this. I'm testing a theory. Elaborate in the tags if you please.

Please reblog!

spin this wheel to get a random d&d class. you are instantly transported into the d&d world and have to live as that class

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

gulf of america: stupid, fucking pointless, literally what in the fuck is this about

@ my cat: idk man, I just feel like you could do the in-depth toe bean cleaning complete with heinous noises in a place other than, y'know...on the back of the couch six inches from my head

Help. Am stuck.

[azhchay]

I feel like my worst "I know what this word means, but I've never heard it pronounced" flub should be put on the internet for all. Since I am apparently NEVER going to live it down.

A decade ago. Husband, myself, and friends playing Dominion. I state I have X number of Duchy cards.

Except I mispronounced Duchy.

A king rules a kingdom.

A baron rules a barony.

A count rules a county.

See where I'm going with this?

So by extension, a duke rules a "duke-y".

I said "I have X number of dookie cards."

I was informed, through tears of laughter, that it's "dutch-y". And now, 10 years later, all parties involved (except me) reference this *at least once a week*.

Sometimes I feel like just getting out of bed without staining the sheets while on my cycle should be achievement enough to warrant doing nothing and staying in bed (after changing my pad).

I need your help with a hypothesis!

For context: My linguistics professor and I got into a discussion after a test she did with us, and I was of the opinion that the reason for the results was different from the one she offered, so she encouraged me to test my theory.

What I need

All you need to do is draw a coffee cup (with a handle, not the disposable stuff) and then answer three questions.

I don't need to see the coffee cup. You can draw it wherever you like; on a piece of paper, digitally, in the sand, on a foggy window. Anything works. It does not have to be good. A doodle is fine.

You have to draw the coffee cup before you see the questions. This is very important. If you decide to help me with this, please doodle the coffee cup before you keep reading.

Assuming you have drawn the coffee cup, I now need you to answer these three questions:

On which side did you draw the handle?

Are you right-handed or left-handed?

Do you primarily write using the Latin alphabet or a different one? (please specify which)

More context

Most people will draw the handle on the right side. My professor says it's because most people are right-handed, so they draw the handle in the direction that would be comfortable for them to pick up.

I said drawing it on the right side just felt more comfortable to my hand and argued it's probably because we write a bunch of letters like that. B, b, D, P, p, R all look like a tiny "handle on the right side" and are all a straight line followed by a round one (so "cup first, handle second," like most people draw cups). The Latin alphabet doesn't have letters like that that face the other way, except maybe d, depending on how you write it, so it makes sense to me that people writing mostly Latin letters would go with the handle on the right side.

Which means that I need to know what Asians, Arabs and Greeks do and if the distribution of left and right sides of handles differs from the Latin alphabet group. Cyrillic seems to favor right, too, though it'd be interesting to see if there are differences.

If there are, my theory is right. Doubly so if there is a sizeable increase in a group whose alphabet has letters that benefit the left side choice.

So feel free to spread this to as many people as you like and put the answers in the comments or the tags of a reblog. The more answers I get, the better I can assess whose theory is better.

Thank you for your help!

You've been randomly selected by the government to fight space aliens. Spin this wheel twice to see the two weird/niche superpowers assigned to you!

Interpret your results any way you like!

You've been cast into a fictional setting, and you don't get to pick your genre. This wheel picks it for you.
