How the hell would I be able to keep track of those 3 days without a potato clock? 😩

    I never understood why in the US (North America? Europe?) children do this experiment with potatoes. Use a citric fruit instead, much better at moving ions around.

    I think it’s because every American thinks they’re Irish

    I think its because potatoes rot a lot slower giving the kid time to enjoy the clock.

    And the kid can eat it in the end.

    Yeah, I could probably do it.

    Ok, then yeah, I’d like to try. Do you need my credit card, or do you take Venmo?

    Depends: 300 million what?

    If it's dollars? Sure!

    If it's feral hogs, I guess I better learn how and get to building ASAP!

    Edit: Oh wait, re-read it! It seems I get the 300 million feral hogs in advance?

    Yeah, I DEFINITELY won't be able to construct anything while some lunatic desperately attempts to cram hundreds of millions of deadly swine into my 3rd floor apartment 😬
