It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Do you have any upcycled uses for gel ice packs that you actually find useful? (lemmy.world)

I have several gel ice packs to throw out and would rather make use of them if possible. Some leak and others have been collected for various uses (chronic health related). Is the gel the same stuff used for plant seed starters or anything like that?

Sure, I could search the web and find lots of people selling ads with their impractical MacGyver anecdotes galore, but that says nothing about what is practical and worth actually doing versus conventional alternatives.

Just saying it's my thing too. When I make a community, few people participate at all, even when they are enthusiastic about the creation of one. Unfinished Proj was an attempt and people acted enthusiastic, but 2 followed through. I could certainly post way more there, but that was not my goal. I figure it must be a me thing, so I'm not making any more communities unless I somehow want to keep posting as a blog or something.
