ULPT: Use agricultural grade mint bombs to destroy someone's yard
Posted by oyxy@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 130 comments
Search for Bad Apples Doublemint bomb on ebay, has 2 of the most aggressive mint plants on earth combined. Super insane life ruining coverage. Throw them a few days before it rains
ItPutsLotionOnItSkin@reddit
If you ever plan to move and decide to go full nuclear throw some bamboo seeds into his yard. Impossible to get rid of and it does physical structural damage.
oyxy@reddit (OP)
They sell a bamboo version called Bamboo Hell https://ebay.us/m/VVAOW4
_tribecalledquest@reddit
They have any different varieties of this? Love mint excited to get some growing lol
oyxy@reddit (OP)
Yes but it seems to be bamboo and catnip
Slow-Alternative-100@reddit
Does this mean I could get free mint?
oyxy@reddit (OP)
Yeah, just be a jerk to your neighbor. You might get bamboo though, they have one called Bamboo Hell

Yuntonow@reddit
Wait till you see what bamboo can do.
oyxy@reddit (OP)
There's a bamboo one too

The best mint relative for this application is stinging nettle. Itches, stings, grows just as aggressively. š Seed readily available in bulk quantities. š
math_calculus1@reddit
not for those in r/NettleHFO
moikalcoin@reddit
Honestly... I'd try it
Neat_Albatross4190@reddit
I... Regret clicking that. Ā Now I am left with questions but I want none of them answered. Ā Ā The last time I was this displeased was when I thought I'd found a forum with reviews about raincoats. Ā I thought it was going to be some cute nettle nerds or an interesting variety people grow at home. The only thing I regret more than clicking that was clicking the first post thinking oh maybe it's a nettle injury from harvesting? Ā Nope. Ā Nor was it an oddly shaped sweet potato which was my first thought. Ā I've never thought penises were aesthetically pleasing in general but that was like the ginger root of penis. Ā Ā
FootsieMcDingus@reddit
If you scroll further there is an uncircumcised penis with nettles shoved in the foreskin like a bouquet. Or as one commenter said āan elephant eating a saladā. Also a bonus sounding plug in the urethra. OR if you go further there is a nettled up cock sandwiches between two wooden logs. People are wild
Greedy-Tart5025@reddit
Thank you for actually describing that link everyone else was being vague about.
FootsieMcDingus@reddit
HFO stands for Hands Free Orgasm. They use the nettles to stimulate their dick till jizzums
Neat_Albatross4190@reddit
Hmm. Ā I definitely didn't need to know that. Ā I have even more questions now. Ā At least your username is... Approopriate?
FreeSockLimit1@reddit
I think I'm gonna close this app for awhile now.
Y'all take care.
IdLOVEYOU2die@reddit
....what
FootsieMcDingus@reddit
Exactly
DifficultCurrent7@reddit
I didn't click to the link to that sub until I read your comment. I was like "how bad could it be?". Yeah, that bad.Ā I bet the guys from the sounding forum would have a fit seing people shove unsterile things with stray organic matter up there.
Immediate_Detail_709@reddit
It looks like a penis, only smaller.
Leofleo@reddit
Those of us who are old enough to remember r/spacedicks know regret clicking.
P_mp_n@reddit

Your description is.. interesting? Hilarious? Thank you
I can feel your displeasure
A fucking sweet potato tho?! I'm crying

You can sautƩe it like spinach and it's great!
NCC__1701@reddit
Makes great tea with elderberry and some peppermint too. I make iced tea with it during to summer because somewhere I read that it helps with allergies. No idea if it actually does, but itās definitely tasty and refreshing :)
kitiikit@reddit
Use it as pesto
twig0sprog@reddit
And tea!
bardolph77@reddit
Wine is more fun and surprisingly good.
twig0sprog@reddit
Stinging nettle wine..? I am intrigued.
surfinwhileworkin@reddit
And toilet paper in a bind!

Makes very good soup as well
PlainNotToasted@reddit

Jacktheforkie@reddit
And it will grow literally anywhere
IronOk4535@reddit
It makes an amazing fertilizer too
DannyMotorcycle@reddit
Had mint in the grass when I moved in.. loved it. Kept mosquitos away and smelled great.
Eventually it died out on it's own. I wish my neighbor would mint bomb my yard..
I've been thinking of bambo because it's cheaper than a fence.. and I want my privacy because that idiot calls the county on stuff if my yard.
BJntheRV@reddit
We just bought a house. Guess what the previous owner thought would be great to add to her rose bed?
quelin1@reddit
Is this why I inexplicably have so much mint growing in my yard this year?
OccamsRabbit@reddit
Who knows? Have you been a good neighbor?

State Farm is there?
jonestown007@reddit

reddit_killed_apollo@reddit
Is this an ad, or do you just hate your neighbor?
oyxy@reddit (OP)
Hating my neighbor is what made me look for the product, only one I found, seems like a bad idea to use legitimately
grego1123@reddit
What happens once the mint finishes taking over your neighbours yard and itās looking for new soil to conquer?
CutsAPromo@reddit
Then you best start bookmarking recipes on cooking with mint.Ā Hope you like middle Eastern and indian
omcstreet@reddit
That's where OP pitches his business idea - peppermint gum made from neighbors yard.
Fermooto@reddit
New product line idea. Mint + anthrax...
Bcohen5055@reddit
Manthrax?
thesweatervest@reddit
Manthrax, its anthrax for Men
DeMarcusBen@reddit
Minthrax.
dwyrm@reddit
Minmax.
oyxy@reddit (OP)
I chucked them into his rain gutters
One_Impression_5649@reddit
Omg donāt be a coward Just throw it in his yard!! Itās mint not anthrax.
Frisinator@reddit
Do a hybrid and get minthrax!

Contained but incredibly annoying. Love it.
youarenotgonnalikeme@reddit
You gonna be pissed when they overrun your yard. I had a neighbor who decided to plant ivyā¦just plain ivy. Everyone hates him in the neighborhood bc no one can have a yard without ivy growing in it.
0iljug@reddit
Fucking delete this dude, why leave a digital trail lol.
nosniboD@reddit
The gutters that go straight into a drain?
OccamsRabbit@reddit
That's a good twist.
anusdotcom@reddit
Donāt worry, just plant bamboo as a barrier

I feel so silly
Its so obvious this is the answer
wiperfromwarren@reddit
crazy coincidence that youāre all about numetal and the ebay account also sells numetal t-shirts
krlnknzt@reddit
Wow, racist much?
oyxy@reddit (OP)
I would describe nu-metal as perhaps my most hated genre of music, all I post about is daft punk
wiperfromwarren@reddit
lol his account here posts a lot about nu-metal/daft punk and the only ebay account that sells this stuff also sells used nu-metal t-shirts⦠good call.

monolayth@reddit
Not to toot my own horn, I have a thumb so black, I've killed mint multiple times.
I was trying to grow it repeatedly. I am where plants go to die.
dontgetpupset@reddit
Same I canāt get any mint plant to live. And I hear itās like a weed and will thrive with no effortā¦
oyxy@reddit (OP)
Whatever was in these seed bombs was absolutely nuclear powered. Mint had actual fangs.
monolayth@reddit
I might be able to keep that alive then.
fullofmaterial@reddit
If your neighbour has mint, you will have mint soon. If you are not into mint based cocktails, i would not suggest that
kingoftheoneliners@reddit
Dude.. if you wanna do serious damage , plant some bamboo rhizomes⦠fucking mint. What a puss.
That_Account6143@reddit
I'd be scared of it eventually spilling over into my yard
kingoftheoneliners@reddit
Yep legitimate fear.. I was thinking he had a driveway between his yard and the neighbors. ..
Baby_Billy_818@reddit
As someone who grew up in a literal bamboo forest, I can confirm with certainty that a driveway will not even remotely slow down the spread of running bamboo. I have seen bamboo go under driveways and new shoots punch right up through the asphalt.
kingoftheoneliners@reddit
Iām laughing thinking about how this dude can bring down an entire neighborhood with a tiny piece of bambooā¦.
robble808@reddit
Unless that driveway is 8ā deep not gonna help
HalfaYooper@reddit
Put up a fence. It blocks it.
HalfaYooper@reddit
What do these look like? $30 is a lot for some seeds.
haleontology@reddit
I'd put these in my own yard LOL I love mint that muchš¤£š¤£š¤£
beauregrd@reddit
is the mint usable for cocktails?
heets@reddit
It is but the OG mint for this is not the sort OP is referencing. That variety, for one difference, has very small leaves. Still - a mojito is a mojito!
pammypoovey@reddit
Is it peppermint, or spearmint? I just got a peppermint plant and the leaves are much smaller than the commercially available mint, which I think is spearmint.
And it's in a pot that is elevated above the ground. Not today, Satan.
heets@reddit
The OG mint for mojitos is Mentha x villosa, AKA "hairy mint" AKA "mojito mint." It's actually a mint hybrid itself. Ever heard of "hybrid vigor?" Yeah....
One_Impression_5649@reddit
You can be the mojito suburban kingpin

Hmm how about for desert climates? You don't water something here and it will die.
SeanFrank@reddit
I lived in Southwest Colorado, not quite desert, but high desert at least.
We had mint in the yard, and there was no getting rid of it.
ngaaih@reddit
Hand grenades?
0iljug@reddit
That is unethical lmao
insecurecharm@reddit
This is nice, was going to make my own but this might be better...
oyxy@reddit (OP)
These ended up being significantly better than anything I could make myself
dariasea10@reddit
Am I the only one who enjoys mint?
Diggingcanyons@reddit
I do. I'd love my whole yard to be mint. I'd like something that tolerates mowing or just doesn't grow tall. It would have to survive scorching summers and cold winters and would have to have drought tolerance. I dont think I'll find what I want lol
Tony817@reddit
The grand majority cant. But they still do anyways.
Others just make more money than you and or have better budgeting skills to afford eating out more frequent.
Lebowski-Lebowski@reddit
Nothing grows with salt in the soil. Salt is easy to disperse. Can suspend it in water and pour it in areas, or sprinkle. For added confusion, treat in patches randomly placed around yard.
No-Worldliness-7832@reddit
What if youāre in a tropical area that rains a lot a lot? I sprinkle a lot of salt in a patch area and some die but the salt ran off and everything itās back again. Also on a small hill so water washes it down
Lebowski-Lebowski@reddit
In that case, if the salt is washing off, you need to get it in the soil. Either by fully disolving the salt in water, then pouring it in slow enough to soak in, and not run off, or dig out the area 2 or 3 inches deep, mix the soil with the salt, then put the salty soil back. The only question is how much salt. That I cant answer but I would assume the Google can.
inkslingerben@reddit
I have a nearby golf course that could use some mint.

If you hate your entire greater area use kudzu.

nilesandstuff@reddit
In the context of a lawn, agriculturally useful types of mint are extremely easy to deal with, they can't tolerate mowing.
Super annoying in landscape beds though.
Dicksunlimit3d@reddit
Wonder how it would work on dogs
Plow_King@reddit
as a recovered comic book collector, i know that mint is a flavor and not a condition.

Mint is the best linux flavor
