Catnip is in the mint family, so kitties also like mint.
Also, catnip can be given to dogs too (in moderation) and some like it, so I guess doggies also like mint.
This post brought to you by someone who never planted that cursed, evil herb in their garden
Wait, why? Please elaborate, I’m planning to get some for my garden. (In fact, I already bought the seeds package)
It grows like a weed so its quite hard to remove
quite hard to remove
It’s the plant equivalent of cockroaches
If you’re going to plant it, plant it in a pot first, then bury the pot up to the lip. It will stay mostly contained and you won’t see the pot unless you’re right on top of it. Mint reproduces through runners as well as by seeds and the runners are so much harder to control. If you bury the entire pot, it makes it easier for the runners to escape, which is why you want that little bit of lip above ground.
It’s not an herb it’s a lawn
It’s a lifestyle.
Though there are worse lawns to have.
That’s why I just plant it in a pot
Edit: by “pot” I mean the rectangle type
We got “chocolate mint”. Yes, it actually does taste a bit like chocolate mint. Yes, it will take over your garden and be miserable to remove.
It’s also the best Linux distro! 🌱
Just replaced Mint with Manjaro KDE on my work laptop and it runs so much better. So I’m not quite on board with your statement.
I installed Mint on an old laptop with low specs and it ran very well in that context. I switched to Manjaro for my main computer because KDE and i have to agree. Manjaroo is also very easy to use out of the box.
Don’t know about best, but it’s very convenient, accessible, and easy to install.
If all someone is doing is browsing the internet or watching videos it’s the best linux distro from an ease of use perspective.
I thought I didn’t like mint for the first 15 years of my life because of mint toothpaste.
I like mint in a lot of things, but I can’t stand mint toothpaste. Unfortunately, every other option I’ve tried has been even worse- fruit flavors, baking soda, etc.
Cinnamon?
They always make it too spicy. Like I don’t need to brush my teeth with Red Hots.
I was sure this was going to turn into mint slander by the end
i consider it slander to say it is “at home” in a fucking cigarette.
Blended into your favorite smokable herbs.
smokable, like how plastic is edible
And it’s disgusting.
You’re weak, please remove your genetic traits from the gene pool.
Hard agree
mint with chocolate is awful
Mint with chocolate is not your thing, and that’s ok, but it is by NO MEANS awful.
I don’t usually downvote for simply disagreeing, but you deserve it for this one.
They can’t handle the truth. I stand with you!
Also, Linux Mint
Yum
No sorry, that’s not very apt
sudo Yum
alias yum=apt
Oh shit
Mint is amazing, so is pineapple. That flavor can fit pretty much anywhere.
There’s a variant of mint known as pineapple mint. See if you can get your hands on a bit.
Pineapple has one up on mint in the pizza dept.
Given how people reacted to pineapple pizza, toothpaste pizza is going to get so much hate from people who won’t even try it.
Don’t forget it’s nice relieving properties. Stuffed nose and a sore throat? Mint green tea with a bit of honey. It’ll help ease the discomfort for a time.
Just be careful planting your own. Mint does not care. It will escape the pot, and next thing you know, there’s Chocolate Mint plants choking out the rest of the garden.
Chocolate Mint is also a wonderful variety to include if you’re looking into an herb garden. You can get some different mint varieties going, make a nice blend for things!
What if you just plant regular mint plants?
Of which type? There’s 32 in the family, including Catnip and Common Sage.
Mint is wild.
Mint can act as a perfect addition to an herb garden or as a prank gift to a first-time gardener that you hate. So versatile!
Even better as a prank gift, it’s so notoriously hard to kill and quick spreading, they won’t notice until it’s too late. Hell, they’ll probably think they’re doing a great job, since it’ll be thriving so long as they pay it the bare minimum of attention.
I think some places do actually have some light restrictions in place, purely because it’s so invasive it’ll fight back against kudzu. It’s just about a rung below kudzu on the difficulty to completely kill.
Mint: the plant that asks, what if kudzu was delicious?
Mint gets quite a few fungal root pathogens. Once those set in it will wipe it out in a few years.
I don’t recommend being near the field when they swath it. Clears your sinuses and burns your eyes.
What is it with humans and eating, smoking, or drinking any kind of leaf, seed, or other vegetable that has evolved a deadly toxin to avoid being eaten…?
“You know what, this tastes a bit bland, let’s add some insecticide to it to make it spicier!”
We get bored and don’t like bland things. These plants developed extreme flavors to deter most animals, but humans like to have unique and different things so it makes sense
I think spicy food is eaten in Spain, in India and in Thailand, because the spice acts as a disinfectant, which removes all kinds of germs (and therefore diseases) from your body, which is especially important in hot and humid climates, because bacteria spread like crazy there?
That’s a good point.
Also, spices can hide the fact that the food’s gone slightly off due to improper preservation (at least until it comes out one end or the other in a ballistic fashion, but then it’s possibly too late to pass the blame), so there might have been a bit of that, too.
Still, it’s funny how we love eating stuff that’d kill or seriously inconvenience most everything else.
We are weird creatures indeed.
Mmm… Tomacco
Guess she’s never had bubble gum toothpaste?
She said mainstream. Bubble gum toothpaste is awful lmao
Oh, I must post it here:

Thanks, you’ve created a fan.
Not a fan of mint flavour tbh
I disagree with your opinion but I will defend to the death your right to express it
It’s also a great phone company, cheap prices, good service. There are just so many uses for it. I believe it also keeps mosquitoes away if you plant it near your outside sitting area.
There is a lotta love for Mint Mobile, T-Mobile’s MVNO (mobile virtual network operator). I’ve opted to pay more for service directly from one of the big players, though, since in busy areas MVNO traffic gets deprioritized.
For the price, hard to beat the resellers! Prepaid even for those with the simplest needs.
Yup. I’m on Tello and my wife is on Mint, both are great.
Phones are expensive to buy in bulk, surely there’s a more cost effective way of deterring mosquitoes?
Mint grows like crazy apparently, so you can just plant one and wait…
