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.

100 rainbow Chrysanthemum seeds
There is a kind called “Livingstone Daisy” we just translate it to rainbow😂
You all are awesome. What's the best way to dispose of them?
Those little pip things on new tires, you gotta glue them on individually!

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?
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.
Used pencil leads.
iPhone says that the translation to English is “Grains of rainbow chrysanthemum flower seeds”
Rainbow? They're gay?? Chinese plot to turn everyone gay??? Ahhhh! (/s)
At first glance I thought it was a bag of mouse turds. XD
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
Looks like rainbow chrysanthemum according to the iOS translate feature.
EDIT: and a Google search explains that “rainbow chrysanthemum” flowers don’t actually exist in a natural form, and seeds claiming to be them are usually just standard chrysanthemum seeds dyed to look different and won’t produce rainbow flowers.
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.
Danger Sprinkles!

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.
Cooking them relatively briefly would probably take care of it.

I've been meaning to rewatch this for a while now. Does it still hold up well?
The image isn’t loading for me. What movie/show?
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.
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
I just wanted to acknowledge your usage of the TLDR here. I just about could not be bothered to read your three sentences, but the alluring, quite interesting and enthralling TLDR hooked me in an instance and there I was reading your diatribe, absorbing and riding high on each and every word! It was altogether glorious, so I am extending this laurel and hearty handshake to you in appreciation!
TLDR: thanks
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
I wonder if boiling water would be a good disposal method? Plant matter can probably be flushed down the drain if it's properly dead.
Unless they are fire type, in which case you might make things worse.
For a moment I thought it was a pokemon joke, then I realised it's an actual legit concern.
It was a pokemon joke. But now you mention it, there are plants whose seeds can only grow after a forest fire!
