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.
They are most likely seeds. Whatever you do, DON’T plant them. If you’re in the USA, contact someone from your state’s Agricultural Department.
Could you also just like Burn them or something
Unless they are fire type, in which case you might make things worse.
Yep, those are seeds.
Why you got them? The leading theory from a few years ago was sellers getting fake positive reviews on their products by creating alternate accounts, “buying” the product and to fulfill the shipping status just sending some random leaked address a bag of the lightest, most cheap product they could send, just so platforms like AliExpress had an actual transaction completed allowing the review to be posted.
Do not plant foreign seeds or discard them incorrectly. You have no idea what that species is, and you do not want to be the one introducing a new invasive species to your local biome.
The label is in Chinese (simplified characters common in China) and translates as “100 rainbow chrysanthemum seeds”. I have no idea whether the contents are what the label claims.
Yeah, but that’s the boring answer.
