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.
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.

I’ve been meaning to rewatch this for a while now. Does it still hold up well?
Fucking awesome. and a while back they finally put out a directors cut with the original ending that, for the longest time, you could only see in shit quality on youtube. Just saw that version a few weeks ago actually.
The image isn’t loading for me. What movie/show?

For the curious, here’s a really nice podcast episode on the subject: https://underunderstood.com/podcast/episode/closing-the-loop-on-chinas-mystery-seeds/
It says 100 Rainbow Chrysanthemum Seeds
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.
I remember a few years ago on the other place that starts with “R”, there were a bunch of people who were randomly sent seed packets from China. Big debate on whether they should plant them and if it would start the zombie apocalypse or not. Some planted them and it grew to be wildflowers…so far.
TLDR: seeds
This is what’s called a Brushing Scam.
Holy shit there’s really an USPIS??
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.
It’s just code for “dark matter from Temu”
The Chinese reads that it’s a seed for some type of flower. Unfortunately, I don’t know quite enough Chinese to know what exact type of flower
At first glance I thought it was a bag of mouse turds. XD
As other people have mentioned, please don’t plant them. You have no idea what the seeds are and they could be invasive. As for why; no one’s sure, but many people think it’s some kind of weird customer rating scam. Like, they send you seeds and then use your info to make a fake review or something.
Used pencil leads.
iPhone says that the translation to English is “Grains of rainbow chrysanthemum flower seeds”
Those little pip things on new tires, you gotta glue them on individually!

They help the tires move phlegm from the inner to the outer treads.
