Beans are hella cheap!

Plant bard would be the best, assuming you can avoid predation.

Disclaimer: I'm a microbiologist, not a botanist, although I took a bunch of botany and mycology courses to fill my elective requirements and for.... recreational reasons.

There are a few cultivars, like double mahoi, that'll produce fruit twice before dying back, but 5-6 is unusual.

The usual cycle is a single "trunk" (pseudostem) will grow, flower, fruit, then die. As it grows, it'll produce daughter plants which appear as additional, initially smaller trunks which follow the same cycle, just offset in time from the parent plant.

Did your plant have multiple trunks? If so, it was actually multiple plants. If not, you possibly had a plant with a novel mutation that could have been very lucrative.

I gave it some thought and got vertigo. I'm going with counterclockwise.

I was worried it might be a bit too Reddity, but I think a little of that behavior is okay once in awhile. At least it didn't birth 40 single word replies, probably because condoms were involved.

Get hooked on meth, it'll wildly change your priorities.

It meshes well with my occasional feeling that reality is just circling the drain.

Some people say lamb skin is like wearing nothing at all, and it harkens back to the earliest known condom, a goat's bladder.

It probably utilizes flavors found in hamburgers.

This is great advice. I want to add that it helps to have the necessary social skills to make those friends. I highly recommend Dale Carnegie's How to Make Friends and Influence People. It's old and a bit hokey but the advice is solid. It helped me grow from being awkward and largely friendless to awkward with a few friends!

I have a similar rule I call the 2/3 rule. I'm willing to put in around 2/3 of the effort required to keep any sort of relationship going. If the other person consistently can't put in 1/3, I'll be cordial but won't otherwise do anything more for them than I'd do for a stranger.

Tl;Dr: be nice, engage in content, and don't troll, and most people won't be bothered.

It likely won't annoy anyone unless your content itself is actively bothering people. A certain fungally named user posts and comments constantly and I typically enjoy their content, while another brachycephalic canid religious savior does the same but constantly stirred shit so went on my block list. Content good, melodrama bad. People will like you if you are reasonably kind, respectful, and genuine.

Usage time really is a personal choice. I track my usage and keep it to 1.5 hours (2.5 on occasion, like if I'm sick) or less daily. Otherwise, it starts to adversely affect my mental health and personal relations.
