Anyone know what to do with a whole lot of bamboo shoots?

Any zoos nearby? Seems giant pandas consume an abundance of the stuff on a daily basis (26 to 84 pounds).

We really need a panda! It's taken me two years to uncover our little vineyard and the cursed bamboo is sprouting faster than I can keep up. I've been spending a few hours each week just digging them up, not even counting the time to clean, cut, cook, preserve, and package them. Maybe I should open a farmer's market booth to get some payment for all my time. Would people buy it?

@Jebus-Zeus that chair looks like a throne made of bones. I think it would belong in a room with candles, mirrors, and black curtains.

so, what should you do with your bamboo shoots? burn it or build a monument to remind yourself why you should be a nice person.

I ended up throwing most of them in the trash last year. It just seems a shame to let so much free food go to waste. If you don't cook it right it'll cause a stomach ache, and if you don't cook it right away it turns woody and inedible. The internet says it's only good for stir fry and pickles. I think there's got to be other options.

Not the stalks, the shoots. They're for eating.

I've also got a big bundle of stalks. I'm thinking of using them to build a fence.

I finally got my grapevines cleared, and now the bamboo is popping up again by the hundreds. It's a constant battle, but if I can keep the bamboo from growing back, I should get grapes in two years.

Sometimes I need to help

Yay, a virtual party! It's perfect for introverts! I'll bring lemonade. Can I bring pets and dress as an animal? Thanks.

And guys, sometimes you just gotta get through it and come out on the other side. Sadness doesn't last forever.

Hypothesis

Instead of cash, give your past self stock market and sports betting advice.

But if you had all that money, would you still feel like using the time machine?

besides age maybe being why, i can't think of another reason.

It's not related to age. This is not a normal thing for people in their thirties. It could be as simple as an infection, or could be diabetes or a hormone imbalance. Definitely you should see a doctor, or at least an urgent care clinic.

Name for a new puppy.

Tristan sounds cool. It means "tumult" and was a legendary medieval knight. Sounds like a good name for a high energy dog with a hint of nobility.

"Origin of the name Tristan:
From the Old French Tristran, which is from the Gaelic Drystan, a name derived from drest (tumult, riot). The name was borne in medieval legend by a knight who was sent to Israel by King Mark of Cornwall to bring Isolde back to be the king's bride. On the return trip, Tristan and Isolde accidentally drank a love potion intended for the king and fell in love. Tristan left to fight for King Howel of Brittany and, seriously wounded in battle, sent for Isolde. She arrived too late and died from grief next to Tristan's deathbed. The tale was the subject of many popular tragedies during the Middle Ages."
