Didn't watch the video but curious if the few acorns i collected in kindergarten (along with a bunch of leaves) that have been in a zip lock bag since 1993/1994 would grow
When I was in around 8th grade, I got some Morning Glory seeds that had be irradiated in Oak Ridge TN. Just a moderate dose of gamma. They were sterile but grew like mad. Long, long vines, overly large blooms. And nothing grew back the next year.
If you put those in soil, I’m pretty sure you’ll be bringing on the end of the world. Semi intelligent unstoppable outer space vines everywhere with a taste for blood! At least you’ll be famous - for a little while!
Can they still germinate?
Not sure, might try though!
Watch this guy's video, there's a technique to germinating really old seeds, and it would be a shame to waste them:

There was just a Radiolab episode about these (well, earlier launch) seeds: https://radiolab.org/podcast/moon-trees
I just listened to this episode. Super fascinating!
Made me this of this...
Let us know if you have to maroon them on Ceti Alpha V.
I remember growing these in middle school!
If I ever went to space I’d be making space seed jokes
This is just a setup for a wrath post 20 years from now.
And so it begins

You gotta try to grow these, or at least provide a sample to someone who would like to, and post updates.

I might just have to!
I saw the movie. It doesn’t end well.😏
