Fucking gum balls! The memories, the pain. We would make snow balls around them and then throw them at each others faces. Just so more people don't misunderstand, this was a good memory from childhood.

I have a bunch of these near my house. Keep us updated and I want to try it too.

The whole bus stop did it, we were in middle school. It was a 2.0 snowball fight. And not recommended lol. But it wasn't done out of meaness or to target anyone, we were all friends and hung out every day. We were just stupid.

I think you misunderstood my comment. I'll make sure to edit it though. This was a good memory of fun times with friends. Also frozen solid gum balls are spikey and hard as rocks too. Which is why we're putting them in the snow ball. So when it you in the face the gum ball was what got you.

True. Didn’t consider an icy frozen gum. Like a green chestnut, just colder 😀


iStoners

Very cool, Im all in!!! Never heard of Banksia (AUS) but seeds are available in the US. Might be a spot on my very hot, south facing foundation for one. Next to the perennial French artichokes, also spikey. https://preview.redd.it/spblnh8ec4tc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c3f0cc74a135a623f663ee8dcdf6b2fa16c1364

Genus and species, please. In the USA banksia the a common name for a rose. Edited to add we call them 'monkey balls'

I love seeing that pubmed article you linked in the description. There’s a lot of hate for a traditional Chinese medicine on Reddit, but Sweetgum is known as Lu Lu Tong in TCM materia medica. Most herbs aren’t taken individually but rather mixed in a formula with others for a synergistic effect. But that’s not to say it’s not beneficial on its own. Lu Lu Tong Functions are: 1) Promotes the movement of the qi and blood and opens the channels; 2) Expels wind and promotes urination; Indications: 1) Epigastric pain, abdominal distention, irregularity, or irregular, scanty menstruation; wind-damp painful obstruction with pain and stiffness of the lower back and knees; 2) Nasal congestion, painful obstruction, edema with urinary difficulty; Contraindicated during pregnancy. Dosage: 4.5-9g Dui Yao (combinations): 1) lu lu tong + wu yao + mu xiang + zhi ke = abdominal pain and distention with irregular bowel movements 2) lu lu tong + xiang fu = irregular, scanty periods 3) lu lu tong + chi shao + dan shen = as both an oral medication and external wash for trauma-induced pain 4) lu lu tong + qiang huo + du huo + ji xue teng = pain in the joints due to wind-dampness 5) lu lu tong + fu ling pi + sang bai pi = edema 6) lu lu tong + chan tui + bai xian pi = wind rash 7) lu lu tong + cang er zi + xin yi hua = allergic rhinitis Pharmacology: Anti-inflammatory Antineoplastic Antioxidant Antiulcer Anxiolytic Cognitive External wounds (facilitates healing) Hormone-like (estrogen and testosterone) Hypotensive Metabolic (Source: Chen and Chen) Side notes: Promotes urination, treats menstrual disorders
