So almost nobody read the whole image?

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago

That's the only reason it got my upvote

What makes you think that. Is there something odd that people aren't commenting on or something? Maybe calling the inside guts? That's the only weird thing I recall seeing.

A 'smash party' could sound like some sort of euphemism, I suppose. I'm guessing that's what they're referring to. They've just got a much dirtier mind than the rest of us.

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were travelling abroad and needed a place to sleep for the night. They stopped at a farm and asked the farmer if they could sleep there. The farmer said "Yes, you can. But all of you must promise not to have sex with my beautiful daughter." They all solemnly agreed and were shown to their room for the night.

One by one though, each of them was overcome by temptation and sneaked down the hall to farmer's daughter's bedroom to have their wicked way with her.

I'm the morning they came downstairs and were greeted by the farmer. "Good morning!" he said, "I hope you all slept well. Take a basket each and go out and pick something from my farm to eat for breakfast". Being very hungry from their travels they all eagerly went out to look for their favourite food.

The first to return was the Englishman. The farmer was waiting for him - with a loaded shotgun. "I know what you did last night!" shouted the farmer, pointing his gun at the Englishman. The Englishman threw his hands up in the air, dropping the basket of strawberries he'd picked for breakfast. "Bend over and put those strawberries up your arse and let that be a lesson to you!" The Englishman did as he was told and pushed the strawberries up his bum. Seeing that the farmer was satisfied the Englishman ran out the door and off into the distance.

Next to return was the Scotsman. "What did you pick for breakfast young man?" asked the farmer. "I picked carrots" answered the Scotsman. "Well put them up your arse you dirty bastard!" screamed the farmer, pulling out the shotgun "I know what you did last night!" "Please dont shoot me sir!" Cried the Scotsman, as he painfully pushed each of the carrots up his bum before making a break for it and running out of the house.

Last to return was the Irishman, carrying his basket on his back. "You dirty lying son of a bitch!" screamed the farmer "You had sex with my daughter last night!" "Now tell me what you picked for breakfast."

The Irishman heaved his basket onto the floor with a thud.

They both looked down at its contents.

"I picked a pumpkin sir."

complain about throwing a billion pumpkins into landfill

Order a billion tonnes of plastic shite off Temu which then breaks, and throw it into landfill

Fucking keep chucking the pumpkins, guys

[–] ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

At least the pumpkins are compostable.

If you know someone with chickens, give your pumpkins to them. The chickens love to eat the insides all the way to the edge of the rind. It is also supposed to be a natural dewormer.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Farm period. Cows/goats/horses/pigs all love pumpkin. Plus when they crap out the seeds, you're going to find a bunch of pumpkins in the fields

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't know this ..... Good tip. My retired hen is going to eat well tomorrow

Toasted pumpkin seeds:

Using running water seperate seeds from pumpkin guts. Soak them in salt water while you carve. Preheat and bake at 220C for 15-20 mins. Eat them whole.

Try finger, but hole

[–] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

I had an elementary school teacher who would ask all of us to save the seeds when making jack o lanterns and give it to her. She’d then make a ton of roasted pumpkin seeds and share it with us and some kids from other classes who brought seeds.

They are pretty good. Highly recommend.

I bet the inside of a pumpkin feels like... really really good.

[–] KKriegGG@programming.dev 22 points 3 weeks ago

Well that escalated quickly

[–] aeharding@vger.social 21 points 3 weeks ago

I mean you could start by composting and not throwing into a landfill… many cities accept with leaf collection

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I let the squirrels have at it, even giving them a hole to get the seeds. Then when it starts rotting into the compost can. I gotta have that pumpkin spice dirt.

[–] Gimpydude@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Chickens do like to eat pumpkin. I always get 5-6 pumpkins and after they are done as decoration, they're fed to the chickens. Not at all wasted.

Planter doesn't work very well, they shrivel and rot within a few weeks.

At a medium pace.

It's disgraceful that we grow food to deliberately throw away.

[–] GiveOver 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Eh it's better than making plastic shite to deliberately throw away

Wait what? US population is 345 millions. How do you even celebrate Halloween that requires three pumpkins per person? Plenty of people don’t even have a porch.

[–] emuspawn@orbiting.observer 11 points 3 weeks ago

Pumpkins Georg, who lives in spooky bog & disposes of over 15 million pumpkins every day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Imagine if we just didn't grow them in the first place since clearly people don't want to eat them anyway...

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

How can I expand it to that size?
