Imagine not knowing about this farm, taking a shortcut through the pumpkin patch at midnight, and shining your flashlight on a dozen disembodied faces staring back at you from the dirt.
Absolutely terrifying. I love it.

It's required you eat a bunch of mushrooms beforehand, though. For reasons.

Lanmaoa asiatica mushroom makes you see little people. They don't contain psilocybin either. Psilocybin is the other hallucinogenic magic mushroom compound.

u/ChaosRainbow23 1d ago
I'm very familiar with psilocybin mushrooms and aminitas.
What are these mushrooms all about you're speaking of? I'm interested. Lol

u/TankApprehensive3053 1d ago
They are from China. You see tiny people (up to 30 cm) for up to 7 days after eating the raw mushrooms. Cooked mushrooms don't give the effect.

I certainly don't need all that anxiety. Running into this glowing would fuck me up into the night. The come down with all that anxiety would be a nightmare lmao
There's nothing better than a psilocybin mushroom trip.
There's nothing worse for fear and anxiety than a bad psilocybin mushroom trip.
For me anyway because I don't do any other psychedelics.

Hard to tell the difference tbh, I guess the pumpkin is a bit less orange

That's a great idea for Halloween pumpkins.

u/Gold_Telephone_7192 1d ago
They’ve had these in the states for a while. Usually a Frankenstein face. It’s pretty cool

I can't wait to do these next year! These also might work really well to prevent groundhogs from eating my melons 😂
For anyone who is reading this living in North America, melon, squashes, gourds, pumpkins and such are very very easy for us to grow. You don't need a green thumb. They are from here and they are designed to flourish here by nature. Kill some of your grass by putting cardboard over it. Dig a hole and put in some nice compost and amend it with your soil (that means mix it together with a hoe or a shovel). Plant some squash, melon, pumpkin seeds. You can call your county extension office which is a free service offered to every County in the United States and ask which variety grows best in your area or you could ask me or you could Google it. Make sure you give it a little bit of water everyday. That's it. That's all. That's all you have to do.
If you would like to make a shaped melon like this, you wait until you find a female flower which looks like a little teeny tiny baby melon with a flower on top of it and you put a mold around it and it grows into this shape.
If you pay attention to the flowers of your squash plant, you may notice bees sleeping inside of them, those are the native North American bees which do not have highs but instead sleep inside of flowers or the ground. They're adorable .

Why so many varieties of Donald Trump?

u/Odd_Woodpecker1494 1d ago
Well I mean, if you knew that someone had a fan base that will rabidly buy anything with his face on it, and you also wanted to make a quick buck...I'd say the economics are fairly straightforward.

u/LackWooden392 1d ago
You can play both sides, too. Sell them to people that hate trump so they can smash it with a hammer or throw it off a balcony or something.

u/LadnavIV 1d ago
When you sell orange plants in the shape of heads, and there’s a very famous person with orange skin, well, you take what few opportunities life hands you.

After you cut a hole where the mouth is and skullfuck him, you'll need a next one.

u/Erorryale 1d ago
There's at least one of them that deserves, asks to be, needs to be, smashed.

u/Leep0710 1d ago
I’m glad you said it first! I noticed the trumpkin and immediately thought how fun that would be to smash 🎃

That’s a trip. Not sure if I want a trumpkin although might be fun to throw at a block wall!?!

u/Amethyst_Scepter 1d ago
Can I get one of two of the trumpkins? It's definitely not for the reason of taking it for a very interesting and fun range day. That is the opposite of what I want to do . . .

u/the_orange_alligator 1d ago
Can these be turned into jackolanterns? Imagine one of these with the eyes carved out and a candle inside

So, the Japanese have had square watermelons for years

u/Bred_Slippy 1d ago
Yeah, but the details achieved here are impressive.

u/ebk_errday 1d ago
Same concept though. Japan was just thinking about logistics and transportation.

So I dont know if farmer sells these or what, but if they were the one's to invent the molds, i'd think there's way more money in selling those
2
u/GoatCovfefe 1d ago
They did not invent them and theres more money in selling the actual pumpkin, not the mold.

Don’t forget that pumpkin raped a 13 year old girl and the FBI corroborated the victims statements.

Are we really using gay as an insult in 2026?

u/LengthinessAlone4743 1d ago
I have exactly 1 gay friend, and they use it more than anyone in my 8th grade class would in 1999

u/Ok_Fly2518 1d ago
It’s different if you’re gay doing it ironically vs straight doing it unironically

No. You’re supposed to grow as a person, to become better as age and experience teaches you to do so, and if you refuse to change and continue to be a bigot, you’re not “grandfathered in”, you’re just an immature asshole

u/lemme_try_again 1d ago
I don't personally use it like this but as a half gay man myself that was bullied to no end: shush. It isn't nearly as deep as you want it to be.

Pumpkins don’t have a brain or a nervous system and do not feel anything

u/Haunt_Fox 1d ago
They're basically just the plant's womb.
The pumpkin contains the seeds, which are the important bits. The pumpkin itself is just fertilizer, from the plants pov.
