My wife has synesthesia, the audio/visual kind. It affects her life a lot with pros and cons because sometimes a bright light can be excruciatingly loud or her vision gets blocked by watercolor-like colors from hearing a loud noise or from someone talking. She also has her own amazing ways of understanding math, music, linguistics. We have a friend who has the taste/touch kind, he doesn’t like slicing tomatoes because of the taste he experiences from the feel of them, so he wears gloves while slicing tomatoes.

Always interesting to learn more about synesthesia and find out about other people’s experiences of it. Looking forward to sharing the work of the artists mentioned here with my wife. Thanks for this thread!

Any ideas on what to do with turtle poop? Our red eared slider lives in a large aquarium and we usually pour out poop from cleaning her tank into the lilies, wondering if there’s other ways we could be utilizing it. Maybe for the couple of fruit trees we’re growing? I read on another permie forum that you can inoculate manure with nematophagus fungi, I’ll have to do some research on that.

This is my first time replying to a post, please forgive if I do this wrong!


Quote from Beau M. Davidson’s original post:


Animal Support
Innoculate pasture or animal GI with nematophagous fungi (like Duddingtonia flagrans) for parasite control.
Use wood chips inoculated with King Stropharia around your bee hives for food and disease-resistence.



I’m curious if I could use nematophagus fungi to innoculate GI from our pet turtle and maybe use it to fertilize ornamental plants?
