What should you do / What you do with your short wooden pencil?

I have some short wooden pencil, I want to bury them but remembering the chemical and some paint in the wooden pencil I decide not not bury it.

Then I just collect the short pencil, idk if I should throw it or not if my box is full of short pencil xD

I hope pencil can be buried and decompose, so I wont feel bad throwing it away.
Or.. does wooden pencil can be buried and decompose?? /is it just me thinking too much

 

How many pencils? Get them all together with some glue and make yourself a little storage box for pencils maybe? Lol~

 

Sharpen them then keep them always to yourself when you go outside for instant Stabbing Weapon.

 

Just eat them and shock your classmates, I suppose.

 

Pencils? How barbaric, you still use those things?

Just throw them out as trash, its fine, most of the pencil was already made from recycled materials.

If you still feel guilty, donate a dollar, plant a tree.

 

I don't think some pencils gonna mess up environment. Compared to when we dumped nuclear waste in ocean, pencils are nothing.

 

Take out the graphite in the middle, crush it up.

Use the resulting powder to lubricate hinges/locks etc.




Edit: one comma

 

Barbaric? What? Are you serious? Lmao are you living in the intergalactic era or what?

 

I really don't know. I've never been bothered with what to do with it because I always, always end up losing my pencils.

 

I remember some people use a pencil extender when they really want to use up every last piece of graphite inside their pencils.
I recall that one of my teachers told the class that Japanese use up their pencils like that.
Very Eco-friendly or resource-poor reason or something.

Wooden pencils can be decomposed along with their shavings.
(Not sure what to do about the eraser and metal part though)

 

Hmm. Nice question. Very nice.

NEXT!

 

my chemistry class coming to use

 

Show people a magic trick.

 

Fire them using a rubber band at people you hate, remember to sharpen before firing.

 

I used to shave the short one till I can't do it anymore. It's good to pass the time, especially if you are handy with a knife.

Another option: use a pencil-holding pen. It acts like a body for the thumb-length pencil and let you use it conveniently. Don't know if those are available nowadays.

 

Good for impromptu weapon in a fight.

 

Idk bcz i lost all my pencils when it's still long haha idk who "borrowed" them but i know that they wouldn't come back to me so, i swich from wooden pencil to mechanical pencil(?)

 

I once saw an art exhibition of sculptures made out of colour pencils...I mean like pencils of different colours cut to form a wave type of thing. So, you can make art. \o/

Someone taped a banana with duct tape to a wall and made thousands.... you just never know. >_>

 

I usually lose my pencil long before it can get that short so I've never had to worry about that.

 

When Ai-chan was younger, we were told that using very short pencils will hurt our fingers. So it's best to bury them. If you bury them, an elf will come and fulfill one of your wishes. It can't be a big wish and you can't be greedy with your wishes, so we usually only wish for pocket money or delicious food. Later that night or the next day, we would usually get pocket money from our parents or our moms would cook delicious food.

If the pencil is made of wood, yes, it will decompose. The paints are simple chemicals which will also be degraded into its basic forms. They can't use poisonous material for pencils because children love biting on them. The eraser, if made of real rubber will also decompose. If the eraser is made of petroleum, it will not decompose so easily, but it's just hydrocarbon, it won't leach into the soil. The metal brace at the end of the pencil are usually made of tin, a soft metal also used in food canning, so it doesn't matter how many you bury, it won't harm the environment.

Now that we're on the subject, pencil lead is not actually made of lead (plumbum). It's called that because the Roman stylus was made of lead. Pencil leads are actually made of charcoal, and people actually do eat charcoal.
