I had a hamster and he would remove the shell before eating the seed. How does it feel to be dumber than a hamster.

Same here. Then I was eating a few of them and three night in a row my stomach started bothering me. On the third night I wondered if it had anything to do with the sunflower seeds. Googled it and my EYES WERE GOATSED OPEN TO THE TRUTH

Okay I just tried eating sunflower seeds “the correct way”, and this is loving bullshit.

Whole thing seems like stupid a joke a farmer would play on someone.

:bahgawd: “Try these seeds! Not the shells though. Just eat the tiny little kernel on the inside that you accidentally crush up half the time. Don’t eat the delicious shells, or you’ll poo poo blood.”

I’ve pretty much stopped eating the kernel and turned a low calorie snack into a no calorie snack. I’m just popping in a seed, crunching it, and spitting it.

Spitting these stupid shells out sucks too. It’s not easy to spit them out without making a mess in the house. Now I have this gross coffee mug full of spitty, chewy shells, and probably a few I missed sitting under the couch somewhere attracting bugs.

I'm glad the shells don't bleed my gums anymore, on account of my new oral hygiene habits. But to be honest, I would still eat them even if they did

I'm sick of seeing animated weiners french kissing in every fucking GBS thread.
At the last place I worked at, the smoking area was a concrete table with 3 benches in the middle of a dirt lot about 700 feet out from the plant.

One time some (~5) people from another shift spent so much time waiting to go into a cleanroom to fill drugs that they ate 2 entire large bags of sunflower seeds while they were hanging out.

The next day everyone, every single person in the company, even the people in the chemistry lab down at the end of the cul-de-sac like a half mile away from said smoking area who had their own, nicer poo poo on a grass campus, got an email threatening termination if they were ever seen spitting a sunflower seed in a dirt lot.

idk the chem lab was probably like a half acre and covered with in-house cameras that the managers and customers like Merck and Pfizer could watch at any time and like 3 DEA-only cameras, I'd recommend against it

I will eat the tails if the shrimp are fried and nice and crunch. I think I saw it on TV that you can do that.

I can't remember who I convinced (parents, room mate, girlfriend) to try this for eh, maybe 2 years. And I got a flat "Not doing that this year" on the the next Halloween.

e: Which sucks, because those seeds blow past sunflower seeds.
