This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I wonder what becomes of it afterwards.
Pumpkin fuckers have their way with it.
And then after it has been thus seasoned, it's time to eat.
If you ever wondered where the spice in pumpkin spice comes from....
More like PUMPIN' spice, amirite?
If memory serves they either go home with the entrant, or get donated to be used as animal feed. They arent very good pumpkins for, like, human pumpkin stuff. You could carve them I guess, but they aren’t good eating pumpkins.
🤨
I’ve been on the internet long enough to know not to rule out any ….uses… for anything.
I did mean eating, carving, and using for crafts/decoration, though. For stuff like that, they aren’t much good. You can make some of them into very temporary boats, though. That’s also human stuff, but they aren’t very good boats, either :)
Pie lmao
One of the big pumpkin influencers (I know...) I follow on YouTube shows them turned into boats for a pumpkin boat race, and then drop them onto things with a crane. They are allowed to collect seeds first iirc. Then the scraps are fed to pigs.
They hollow it out and make it into a caravan.
