No I keep my arms folded and always have a sourpuss on my face so nobody will try to engage with me.

Fenugreek is supposed to be the closest thing we have left to silphium. Which itself was a plant so utilized and loved in the Roman empire in pretty much everything they ate, as well as supposed medical usage, that even by the time of Julius Caesar it was (literally) worth it's weight in gold, due to scarcity and the last known wild stock (that could only grow in ONE tiny spot on the north african coast) was picked and sent to Nero as a novelty gift because no one believed it really still existed. Probably should have bought it is what I'm saying.

I'd say yeah I was looking at my blood the other day and thought it's looking a little... how do you say... bad? So I can CERTAINLY use something that will improve my blood, thank you so much and she would laugh and I would laugh and we'd exchange looks and then we're in her car (conveniently located nearby in the handicapped spots) and then we're entering her Senior Living complex and now I have to play bridge against this other team who's *clearly* signaling omfg

honestly it's pretty common for vampires to solicit around the produce aisles and if you really want to ignore them, you need to stock your cart with lots of sodium packed soup or frozen meals before you go there. do goons go grocery shopping very often? cause this is like 101 stuff

The other day this old guy was in front of me in line and he saw I had a pink mask on and he goes "the police are looking for someone in a pink mask, it's not you is it?!" and laughed and I was like "what? Haha no". Which is just what the criminal would say

A dude randomly said to me while I was walking down a street: "Take care of your legs. It's important." Pretty sure it was some kind of NPC. That's probably what happened to you too OP.

Yeah people, particularly old people, are constantly talking to me in stores and on the street. I do the same thing, just talk to strangers as I go about my day to day. It's a lot of fun, just going through life like every one around you is cool and good for a yarn. Just chatting up old ladies about the impending cabbage shortage or whatever.

This is a way too informative post about silphium not to mention it was an abortificant and that's probs why it's extinct.

It was a herb that people thought tasted really good and could be used for all sorts of medicine; there is little to support the idea that contraception was its main function. And it's questionable whether it even went extinct or if people just forgot what it was, as it appears in cook books and medical texts centuries after Nero got the supposed last plant. https://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2...-contraceptive/ Also the coolest thing about it is clearly its alternative name: Laserwort

To be fair, he got the last WILD plant known to exist. It was cultivated, but apparently it was very difficult to do except in very exacting circumstances and wasn't 'as good as the real deal' or whatever. Same kind of bias you'd have today coming across wild morels vs farm grown ones or what have you, something along those lines. And even those cultivars eventually were lost in some capacity. Whether via naming convention, as you say, or simply died off.

I will never forget the time at the supermarket when a woman in a mobility scooter saw me looking at chocolate chips and started talking to me like we were already mid-conversation about baking. Not sure exactly what happened next but by the time I left the grocery store she had my e-mail address and sent me her favorite cookie recipes

Whats that? My fluids smell like IHOP? Why no, madam dracula, I don't have Maple Syrup Urine Disease. I just eat a lot of fenugreek. Oh that, it's just a natural syrupy lactation.

I was at a drug store one time and some woman randomly decides to recommend me Colgate® brand toothpaste. Not a specific type, just the brand in general. I nodded in silent agreement and slowly walked away, never to see her again.

Don't take too much though. It's also one of the herbs that stimulate lactation.

It's got a bit better as I've aged but I look like a total sucker so I get approached by conmen/sales people all the time. They see me coming from a mile away. At least I stopped worrying about being polite to these dipshits
