So almost nobody read the whole image?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Zoop 10 points 1 week ago

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."

I was thinking more like a 1Guy1Jar type of thing, but with a pumpkin. At least it won't shatter into glass shards this time!

(I can still clearly hear the sound of the glass after all these years...)

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The version I know is that they will only live if they can stick the fruit/vegetable in their ass without making a sound, and they were shot because they couldn’t stop giggling because they saw the third guy carrying .

Man that is dark!

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

[–] Zoop 5 points 1 week ago

It's not like it's one or the other. We need to improve in both of those areas.

[–] Zathras@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] KKriegGG@programming.dev 16 points 1 week ago

Well that escalated quickly

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.

[–] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week 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.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 16 points 1 week 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.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

I'm commenting just because I think some people get this mixed up. Pumpkin spice has nothing to do with pumpkin. It's the spices you'd put in pumpkin pie, without the pumpkin pie.

I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice flavored stuff, but I'm happy it seems lately a lot more if it has become pumpkin flavor instead.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

wait a minute

[–] Zoop 2 points 1 week ago

That's what the pumpkin told them, too!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Look, I'm just saying I've seen two videos of people doing it for the meme.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

Not as good as a warm apple pie.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago

One of these things is ~~not like~~ more appealing than the others

[–] baggins 13 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Two things can be bad.

I hate the "this thing is worse so let's not talk about that" mentality, as if you've never held two opinions at the same time.

[–] baggins 2 points 1 week ago

No, we shouldn't be doing that either.

beats straw, which is fully inedible

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

In the times of yore a small group of people tossed some tea into a harbour and set about a revolution.

Today, we must put an end to the tyranny. The quickening pace and further encroachment upon our livelihoods demands pumpkin spice be put to waste.

The future depends on it.

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

[–] luciole 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 1 week 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.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 1 week ago

Have your read the bottom right corner?

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago

Trans girls never waste pumpkins 😤

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 8 points 1 week ago

At a medium pace.

[–] Gimpydude@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

tsk white people amiright smh head pumpkins don't have a flared base

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they do if you take it by the stem

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

that's not satisfying at all tho

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 5 points 1 week ago

No Paige, don’t!

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

Use it as a helmet at the Motocross!

Interesting :3

Roast pumpkin puree can be added as filler to sauces. Bottom right option seems fine too. Why kink shame?
