I was fully expecting this to mention Linux

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Or that app for tracking household expenses.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

That one closed and got rolled into credit karma. Guess that's one L for mint.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Not really an L. It's to be expected. Mint is always getting consumed!

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Could also be a phone plan company. Just more evidence in favor of the versatility of mint.

And it's stupid easy to grow. Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard, you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago

We once planted 6 different herbs in a rectangle planter including chocolate mint and spearmint, next year the whole planter and part of the one beside only contained chocolate mint.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Chocolate mint is especially evil in my book because it took over an entire area of our yard and killed off my grandfather's raspberries that had been growing for decades and transplanted to two new homes ending their long lineage.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

It took over a entire section of our garden as a kid. I chewed that shit all day every day every summer.

Broadleaf herbicide keeps my neighbor’s mint infestation on his side without much issue. No worse than the violet, really. His kudzu is the only thing that causes a problem.

I love how the mint just spreads from your yard to your neighbor's yard.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

It's a gift that keeps on giving. Forcefully. My neighbors hate me.

What is it with humans and eating, smoking, or drinking any kind of leaf, seed, or other vegetable that has evolved a deadly toxin to avoid being eaten..?

“You know what, this tastes a bit bland, let's add some insecticide to it to make it spicier!”

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Mmm... Tomacco

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

We get bored and don't like bland things. These plants developed extreme flavors to deter most animals, but humans like to have unique and different things so it makes sense

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago

Don't forget it's nice relieving properties. Stuffed nose and a sore throat? Mint green tea with a bit of honey. It'll help ease the discomfort for a time.

Just be careful planting your own. Mint does not care. It will escape the pot, and next thing you know, there's Chocolate Mint plants choking out the rest of the garden.

Chocolate Mint is also a wonderful variety to include if you're looking into an herb garden. You can get some different mint varieties going, make a nice blend for things!

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

Mint can act as a perfect addition to an herb garden or as a prank gift to a first-time gardener that you hate. So versatile!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Even better as a prank gift, it's so notoriously hard to kill and quick spreading, they won't notice until it's too late. Hell, they'll probably think they're doing a great job, since it'll be thriving so long as they pay it the bare minimum of attention.

I think some places do actually have some light restrictions in place, purely because it's so invasive it'll fight back against kudzu. It's just about a rung below kudzu on the difficulty to completely kill.

It’s also the best Linux distro! 🌱

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Don't know about best, but it's very convenient, accessible, and easy to install.

If all someone is doing is browsing the internet or watching videos it's the best linux distro from an ease of use perspective.

And it’s disgusting in every single one of those. I hate mint

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Same, mint is fucking vile.

Edit: I will die on this hill. You don't scare me, only mint scares me.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I wholeheartedly disagree but take a pity vote for those downvoting you for sharing a personal opiniom

This post brought to you by someone who never planted that cursed, evil herb in their garden

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

We got “chocolate mint”. Yes, it actually does taste a bit like chocolate mint. Yes, it will take over your garden and be miserable to remove.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

It's not an herb it's a lawn

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Though there are worse lawns to have.

Goes well with Cinnamon, too.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

It's also a great phone company, cheap prices, good service. There are just so many uses for it. I believe it also keeps mosquitoes away if you plant it near your outside sitting area.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Phones are expensive to buy in bulk, surely there's a more cost effective way of deterring mosquitoes?

I'm enjoying mint gum right now, so confirmed 👌

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

In theory, mint is great. But poor practice has me avoid it unless I prepare something with it myself.

I thought I didn't like mint for the first 15 years of my life because of mint toothpaste.

Catnip is in the mint family, so kitties also like mint.

Also, catnip can be given to dogs too (in moderation) and some like it, so I guess doggies also like mint.

Mint is amazing, so is pineapple. That flavor can fit pretty much anywhere.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Pineapple has one up on mint in the pizza dept.
