Transcript excerpt

Everyone. I bought one of those resin pyramids during 2020, and it completely rotted to the point where I rediscovered it because I completely forgot it existed when it started to smell and fill my entire room with this, like, putrid rotting smell. And at first, I thought it was, like, a rat that had died in the walls or something, but I eventually found the pyramid and the condition it was in. So the pyramid had a flower, bits of crystals, like, things you wouldn't think would rot, and also an entire cookie. But I thought that, you know, because it's in the resin, it would last forever and not rot. But turns out, I guess, air had good into it or moisture or something, and it was disgusting. It was completely rotten and molded over, and something was alive in it. I don't know if it was some sort of maggot or something. I don't know. It was disgusting. I ended up throwing it away. And I guess my word of caution is if you bought one of those resin pyramids in 2020, please make sure that yours hasn't rotted before you completely ruin your room. I mean, I can't even sleep in there anymore for, like, at least two weeks.
