At first I was like man, that person has a lot of sunflower seeds stocked up, that must have been a lot of sunflowers in their yard, but good for them..
But nope, these are just shells. Hopefully these shells haven’t been in anyone’s mouth…Imagine the mold at the bottom of that tote..
Why would anyone keep this? What do you do with them at this point? Assuming they were seasoned, you can’t really use them as mulch (salt), so like maybe compost, but even then adding that much salt all at once wouldn’t be doing your pile any favors..
I guess you could use them as mulch/ground cover where you didn't want stuff to grow? Or maybe you could rinse them to reduce the salt?
Or maybe he eats unsalted sunflower seeds.
Wait there are salted ones?
Wait there are non-salted ones?
Homie there are pizza flavored ones
Bruh wtf. I have only seen normal ones. Maybe we just don't have them in my country. There is a lot of stuff we don't have just because it's a smaller country.
See if bigs exist where you live. They have pickle, bacon, ranch, cheese, a ton of crazy flavors. Amazon has em too.

Well pretty sure they don't exist all I could find abput them was for america.
Also this
Damn. Best of luck on your flavored seeds quest.
Oh, so much better
You binge an entire bag and your mouth's off duty for the next 24 hours. Unsalted delivers the important crunch but keeps pain mostly away.
The salt is just as important as the crunch
Honestly, as a sunflower seed girlie, my mouth got used to that years ago. It doesn't happen anymore. I can go through multiple bags if I want without that happening.
Would it mold necessarily? Shells dry out pretty quick, I feel like there would of course be bacteria, but I'm not so sure about mold.
It's not hard to crack sunflower seeds and then separate the seeds from the shell without putting it in your mouth.
Also, assuming these are not salted and if they are going into a compost pile that is reaching the correct heat, it won't matter if it was in someone's mouth or even if there is mold on it as it will literally cook out.
As a man who eats peanuts by the pound, I feel every part of this in my soul.
That's nuts
No, those are legumes.
No, this is Patrick
Legumes, actually.
Ok, Mulder, thanks for the advice
Happy cake day! That means I was on Lemmy before The Picard Maneuver. Surprising!
Lol, I came over around the time of the reddit blackout, but I created on startrek.website first. This one came a little later.
Ah, that explains it!
This is why I toss only naked sunflower seeds on my bird-baiting balcony. The cat gets the same entertainment and it's a lot less cleanup on my part.
