That's a surprisingly benign use case, I was expecting far worse.
I guess I'm the only one thinking about how it's inevitable that birds and other animals will mistake them for real insects and die from ingesting these things, god knows what kind of toxic materials they're made of but I'm willing to bet it's not safe to eat them
Without a doubt they will have those other use cases in mind too. Mentioning them is just not good for marketing in public.
Plot twist: The crop is human misery.
Well then fucking harvest me and get it over with
The public use case.
Humans are the crops.
