On the topic, one of my classmates in high school wrote a paper comparing the effects of snus (Swedish variety of snuff, basically bags of raw tobacco) and cigarette bums on plants, which he grew himself as part of the experiment. Iirc the plants growing among the snus grew marginally taller than the control group, while the ones with cigarette bums were less than happy. The conclusion he drew was that the tar in the cigarattes was probably detrimental, and that the tobacco was not, possibly even acting as a nutrient.

Probably not a nutrient, but it's insecticide properties probably means less tinier-than-tiny bugs gnawing at the plant's squishy bits, thus making them grow larger than the control group.

My microwave makes the teeniest, most insignificant chirp to indicate the timer set on it has run down. Microwave mode is unremarkably obnoxious, but if, for example, I'm leveraging its timer alone for something on the stove, all I get is a singular half-assed peep and the sublime terror that I might miss its clarion klaxon and set fire to something.

Not cool, microwave!

I looked up clarion klaxon  and Google gave me car horns that weren’t even called klaxons

But doesn't he know snus is a health risk and must be banned

[Frumple]

I mean, to humans and probably should be, sure. Unprocessed cow shit is pretty good for plants, too, but most places probably got laws somewhere or another saying that you can't legally feed it to people under most circumstances

It would probably make sense to ban the cancer tar-sticks from consumption before the plant-dirt though

But it's NATURAL and ORGANIC and it's MY RIGHT to refuse the lies of Big Pharma and stick to natural remedies!

Cow patties could have saved you from those hydrogen peroxide burns, just saying...

Walked fifteen miles today, probably, and after I made it to my mailbox a second time to check my mail, it turns out I didn't get anything, that they didn't receive anything.

It's supposed to take two business days max.  The mail was mailed Friday before delivery, and today is Tuesday, after delivery.

[Dunamisdeos]

How far is it to your mailbox bruh o-o

[Eric Blank]

7.5 miles from the house, apparently.

One house I lived at the driveway was 1/4 mile long and a bitch to navigate in the winter. That's more than enough.

why is your mailbox so far away? Also what? A quarter of a mile big house? That’s huge! Is that referring to the house and yard or just the house itself? Because if the house itself is 1/4 of a mile that’s ludicrously big

He's probably talking about the length of the driveway not the house.

[hedgerow]

It's approximately 3 miles distant, so four trips equals about 12 miles, which is really fifteen when you take into account that I'm taking the shady detour.
