Lemmy, what did i get in the mail? (lemmy.world)

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.

Rainbow chrysanthemum flower seeds

According to google translate + OCR on the label.

Trusting labels on mystery seeds is...

Unwise.

Especially as others have noted that this is some weird Chinese algorithm rigging/scam/plot to destroy America?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I don't think we need any help destroying America as congress is doing a fine job from within, and he could plant these in an isolated pot and see what comes out.

I didn't provide any advice as to what to do with them. Simply an English translation of the label and my method of acquiring it.
