I think the value of such a project goes far beyond providing food. It builds community and gives everyone (especially young people) something meaningful to do. Therefore leading away from harmful pastimes and substance abuse.

It connects the fruit of the labour to the effort and provides real life education. It also keeps money or time investment in the neighbourhood. Instead of one giant conglomerate like Walmart.

Moreover, it builds a base to keep alive the good taste of produce. If everything was maxxed out for efficiency (and capitalism) we would have one strain or breed of every fruit instead of the thousands of heritage breeds that still exist today. They were created by neighbours sharing seeds or saplings.

Take tomatoes for example: the ones in the shops taste awful. Watery and wooden, but not like a tomato should. If you've ever grown some, you know how delicious good tomatoes are. A community garden can even grow local, native fruits that are economically inviable, because they bruise easily, have a bad shelf life or what have you.

A cowboy once told me, that you can spot a fake by how clean their hat is.

Since (so he told me) in case a bull had an episode, they would throw their hat in the other direction and climb over the corral fence. The bull would often go after the hat.

Carpentry. And I don't think it's that old. The shape is so similar to modern carpentry hammers, that I think it is not older than the standardised nail. Most definitely younger than the middle ages.

I would recommend starting with the gospels (the first books in the new testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).

About the feeling of unease, I think it's natural. I am uneasy when confronted with my own failure. That's life, a journey with many hurdles to be overcome, many of them my own shortcomings. But I want to be better. So I need to acknowledge my faults.

This also shows what love means. If I were perfect, it would not be hard to love me. But the people that love me do so despite my failures. So does God. And that makes love truly valuable.

Letter from Paul to the Romans 5:6-11 NIVUK

[6] You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. [7] Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. [8] But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! [10] For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! [11] Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

It's a little hard to tell with all the action in his face, but I think he is a famous sketch youtuber. So likely satire

In Germany, FB Marketplace or Craigslist were never a thing.

eBay was and is still big

Kleinanzeigen used to be part of eBay but is now it's own thing and is used widely.

Vinted (used to be Kleiderkreisel) was a place to swap clothing with others, it's now a second hand clothing marketplace. It recently expanded to electronics and includes Italy and France now.

A brittle rock made of glitter. It breaks in this linear fashion and can be pound into sand by a mortar and pestle.

Anyone got any clues?

Edit: Thanks for all the answers. I found it in Romania and after searching for forums of minerals from Romania, I got a few other clues.

It isn't conclusive to me yet, but the possibilities are:

  • Pyrit
  • Mica
  • Schist
  • Nagyágit
  • Calaverit
  • Sylvanit

Of these, Mica and Sylvanit fit the best (imo).
