“Get me dudes like those guys that lost THE war”

What contrast? The topic is bloated, brainless orange things.
Pumpkins can vary significantly in size, but giant pumpkins typically weigh from 68 kilograms (150 lb) to over 910 kilograms (2,010 lb), with some record-breaking specimens reaching weights of over 1,278.8 kg (2,819.3 lb).
What a liar!
But is that a real biological limit, or can we create an even more nightmarish monstrosity??
I wonder what growing the pumpkin in a space station would do, the fruit wouldn't have to be able to support its own weight at that point
With these massive pumpkins (I live in farm country and we need hobbies too) the single plant takes up pretty much the whole field, and more problematically, drinks somewhere around 200 gallons of water a day once they get big. So it’s more a logistics problem really.
If I could ever justify throwing a couple grand (I can’t and won’t) I’d love to try growing one hydroponically with a swimming pool as a reservoir.
Yeah so we can do fun things to weed with indoor growing by controlling the temperature, the times and color the light is on, ect ect ect. What if we optimized it that way, and then pumped it full of Plant Growth Hormone?
How big are they in volume?
A ton of water is just one cubic meter, so I suppose it's still not big enough to make a jack-o'lantern house.
(Which just so happens to be my only interest in large pumpkins)
Iirc it's also alot of empty space inside.
So maybe it's possible to grow a pumpkin large enough for a horse carriage and nobody has done it yet?
Misread as genitals
"No one knows how big genitals can get "
Hitler's generals were so afraid of him that they didn't even tell him about the D-Day landings for several hours because they didn't want to wake him up.
Hmm... Pumpkins are orange and have no intelligence...
Trump is also orange and has no intelligence...
Is Trump just a big pumpkin? 🤔
Well, he does like to pump kin.
He's not wrong. I think we'd all love to see trump put a round or two into his own head, trapped like a rat in a bunker.
"I need the kind of genitals Hitler had" is funnier and therefore I choose to believe my misread version is reality, quote a rat demon scrotum.
That got me thinking, could pumpkins get even bigger in low G? If for instance there were sheltered greenhouse on the moon once we have colonies there.
So social media has been feeding me shorts of a woman who grows giant vegetables. To compete they can't break and there are a bunch of spots where if they grow too fast they get thin and split under their own weight.
Grow one so big you could live in a pumpkin shell like Peter the Pumpkin Eater's wife!
I wish we had those guys too, they turned on Hitler
