The worst threads all have the same subjects 44

This is an attempt to help people realize what they are about to do wrong, hopefully before they do it. This is being made in a similar intent as my other thread "Avoiding the dreaded facepalm in cultivation." Please do not be offended, this is meant to help.
I have noticed that the threads that all seem to earn facepalms or cause people to become sad, all seem to have the same topics, the same fails. If the search engine was used it would be easily avoided, but alas the search engine seems a little used resource these days. So here is the top 10 thread subjects guaranteed to elicit scorn. I swear we see 100's of these over and over again.
10. Eating substrates. This is gross and regardless of whether or not you might catch a buzz, its a piss poor return on materials and time.
9. Blue color. Seriously if you don't understand yet that the mushrooms you are growing stain blue, you have not nearly done enough reading. Not nearly enough. This also goes for black/ purple caps. Its spores damnit, harvest them shits already. . .
8. Growing on dog doo. Or human. Just no. Gross, stupid, ill informed. Animals that eat grasses or grains yes. Animals that eat other animals. . . just no.
7. Critique my fruiting chamber idea. We see 1000s of these. They are all ill conceived, generally with a really poor understanding of the organisms needs. I don't care that you need a stealth grow, with a few exceptions, most new people simply do not know what is needed to do a grow well. I'm not talking about a few fruits to a trich finish. I can do that in a trash can. If you were qualified to design a good fruiting chamber, you would not need to get any critiques. Learn to grow properly first and watch the yields rise.
6. Desiccate drying. This is plain old and tedious. If that's how you did it in the 80's fine, but there is no reason for people to be mucking around with it these days. Which leads into point 5.
5. Heat kills potency. I can't believe this is still a debate in some peoples eyes. We have seen fruits deep fried, grilled, pressure cooked, boiled in tea and guess what? Heat won't hurt potency, at least not enough to notice. You know what does? Rotting fruits in a desiccate chamber. Taking 5 days to get them dry. Those things hurt potency. You just finished all the hard stuff, and at the end is where you are going to cut a $40 corner. No.
4. Anything with a kit. Sure ya fucked up, spent crazy cash on a $3 bag of rye berries for $50 or some plastic tray with perlite in the bottom. Accept that ya screwed up, and build the SGFC or monotub if you want a result at all.
3. Peroxide. Peroxide is useless for anything but cobweb mold. Useless.
2. Cobweb mold. If you have Dactylium that means your fruiting chamber is complete shit. 95% of the time its just mushroom mycelium. 4.8% of the time its a pin mold. 0.2% of the time its actual cobweb. You don't have it and if you do, you need to get your shit together.
1. Any post with no paragraph spaces, no pictures, and is 5000 words long. I ain't gonna read it. If your post resembles that, you need to stop talking and start reading. Don't try to describe what your grow looks like, its like a janitor trying to perform brain surgery over the phone with a neurosurgeon. Take a pic, be sure its in focus, post that.
If you are about to make a post that fall under this criteria, better give it another look.

Also, have you noticed the terrible terrible "Similar Threads" you've spawned at the bottom of the page with your opening post?

Well, there's also the noobs who spend an entire morning resurrecting threads from the forum graveyard just to ask a stupid question or give shit advice and no matter if you tell them off, they'll keep at it regardless and won't even read what you tell them.
Also, there's this thing that really doesn't merit a facepalm but it annoys the heck outta me. So there's your first time poster, posts a question (normally something urgent that they need to fix up quick) and then logs off, maybe he'll be back in 2 or 3 days and read the replies people gave them. C'mon, what do they think? That they're sending a freaking letter to a friend in China?

Shit, drying shrooms doesn't even have to need a $40 investment. Use the oven if you can't afford it at the time, much better than shitty desiccant chambers.

11. Spore to grain and spores to LC. 12. Not checking the date on threads leading to old outdated info. 13. Incubators. 14. Colonizing in the dark. 15. Inoculating in the bathroom. 16. Can I just use a syringe to noc up some poop in a cow pasture?

Being nice to and talking to the mushrooms, playing music for them and crystals in the chamber, or the opposite shocking cubes with electricity, over lay with cubes, increasing potency with adding precursors in the substrate
