Wait, why would it become an emergency room curiosity? Ohhhhh, missed that last part. Gourds really are nature’s dildo.

It’s not a waste if its sole purpose for existing is to rot on porches. It’s just a bonus if you can squeeze out another use, like becoming an emergency room curiosity.

As all things should be.

Oh wow, that’s good.

It’s still waste even if the primary purpose is wasteful.

Of all the things to worry about when it comes to waste Halloween doesn’t even scartch the surface for me
Still waiting on someone to talk about how fishing nets are 50% of the plastic in our oceans

Halloween food - no.
Halloween plastic decorations, wrapping, costumes… yeah, we can do without

Well, this is talking about food waste, not pollution. Even if it rots and doesn’t do anything, worst case it’s a pile of bio-matter. The land, and everything involved in growing them could be used for actual food though, which could decrease food prices potentially.

It’s low priority for sure.

Is entertainment wasteful?
itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
It certainly can be
Golf courses come to mind
Or cruise ships

Pumpkins are pretty low on my priority list, but entertainment isn’t really a good reason to throw useful stuff away. It’s a waste of water, waste of growing space, waste of fuel for harvest and transportation, and obviously a waste of food.

And people don’t realize just how much growing space pumpkins need!

what if I burn it for heat afterwards?
pennomi@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Sometimes! I think pumpkins are fairly harmless though

Frequently, yes.

Squirrels seem to eat them IIRC
