It’s so odd because I looked at the supposed mother plant two days ago and thought “that’s a nice plant” and was thinking if I could sneak out a baby some day when it started making babies. But I couldn’t see any (so the babies might have come from another one). It was also a coincidence I even saw the babies, I was drinking a cup of cacao and I was going to take the empty cup with me to my appointment for coffee to not waste the cup but changed my mind last minute and threw out my cup only to see the babies. I love spider plants and haven’t had one for a while. I’m sorry for my long rant I am just exited. There was 5 separate babies and a little extra leaf with a few nodes

You should see the waiting room at my psych center. I can’t take pictures sadly but this sub would love it, it’s a sun room with skylights and lots of huge plants!

this is one year 4 months of collection. the edit bellow is a Q&A i did before that covers most peoples questions.

Q: What's wrong with you? A: i don't know. If there's anything wrong with me it has to be pretty mild as I maintain an active social circle and have had several relationships. Some have speculated I have OCD and while this behavior would fall under that condition, I don't exhibit any other symptoms. So I don't think that's it. I never do this to the point of hurting myself i bruised myself once on accident over 6 years of doing this.

Q: Do you do any drugs? A: I smoke weed and did mushrooms for a prolonged period of time, but that was in the middle of this behavior not before it, so I don't think that's what caused this.

Q: How can you not find this disgusting? A: its literally me, i have a pretty high bar for disgust in general. Plus the alcohol treatment I use takes care of microbial concerns.

Q: what does it smell like? A: dust

Q: What does it feel like? A: when the cube is fully dry, it feels almost like a dried out eraser, or a dusty brick. It's not as dense as you would think, it's very light for its size.

Q: Does anyone know? A: No nobody in my life knows. I've never had a reason to bring it up and it wouldn't come up in conversation. If I was shown this series of posts by a friend I would feign shock and disgust.

Q: how often do your shower/clean yourself? A: i shower whenever my hair feels bad. This usually takes 2 days, resulting in me showering every other day a minimum of 3 days a week. more if i do something strenuous. I wash my hands every time I use the restroom, after I do the dishes and after work.

Q: Do you have any skin conditions? A: as far as I'm aware no. I do exhibit some skin symptoms when stressed for a prolonged period of time, such as peeling on my hands and dermatographia. Whether any of these have an effect on skin production i have no clue. I've seen some people claim that the presence dead skin rolls is abnormal for those who believe this please search for italy towels or korean skincare towels what I'm doing here is a very similar thing.

Q: Is the cube a part of a larger project? A: currently, not. Aside from some vague musings about using it to make a sculpture of myself there is no plan for the cube other than simple accumulation.

Q: Will you bite the cube? A: my asking price is five thousand dollars for a video of me biting the cube.

Q: Why a cube? A: it is a cube for no other reason than that it is the simplest shape to make that wouldn't roll off a flat surface.

Q: Why did you post this? A: i was looking for others who have done a similar thing like me and i saw that a few other people have posted similar things but none have shown a collection of comparable size. I wanted there to be more evidence of this behavior online for others like me and curious people as it's a hard thing to search for.

Q: Why? A: i don't know it started about 6 years ago. I would rub my arms and I would put the resulting strands off the side and then throw them away. To make throwing away a pile of dust more manageable, I would compact it, so that way it would be easier to pick up and throw away. I've always had an issue with upkeeping a clean room my living space goes through a gradual decline and then a sudden cleaning so when I started. I would have random piles of skin that I would throw away when cleaning. I then decided to try and compact these piles but by this point they were dry and unable to be moulded into each other. I used water for a bit, but that had an upper ceiling. My first experiment with alcohol proved a reliable method for continuing to add to the pile so I did for a year stright and I plan to continue until I have a reason to stop.

Q: Can I put these posts into a YouTube video making fun of you? A: Sure, go right ahead. I know what I'd do is disgusting to most and I wouldn't be posting it publicly if I wasn't okay with it being out there.

Q: Could you pretty please with a cherry on top KILL YOURSELF? A: Nah I don't feel like it
