Weird story, so about 9 years ago we sold our house to a family member, who rented it out. Those renters reached out to them and said that we got a package. We still live in the area so I went and got it from them.

We have no idea what this is, or who sent it. When I search that sku I can't find much except an article about how Americans are getting sent seeds from China, the return address is from Equatorial Guinea. But even if they are seeds, what are they? Also why?

What you got Lemmy? Maybe put a sarcasm tag on your response if you have a humorous thought. But I really want to know. Google lens thinks they are bugs.

You all are awesome. What's the best way to dispose of them?

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Send them to someone random

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 7 points 9 months ago

Make it someone else's problem, I like it.

Crush up and snort

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Plant them

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Do not plant them. You have no idea what the seeds are. The label means nothing. Could be an invasive species.

Burn them.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 11 points 9 months ago

Could also be something cool, like sentient fly traps.

The label actually says what they are and they are benign. If you don't speak the language, why would you say "it doesn't say anything"?

[–] towerful@programming.dev 12 points 9 months ago

Yes, lets trust the label that a scammer put on a package, seeing as they have been so trustworthy so far!

Back when this first started several years ago a number of the seed packs were found to be mislabeled.

So while it is labeled, OP can have nearly zero confidence that it's the correct label.
