Comment on The grass is happy to see you
TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 1 day agoGrass, famously, does not die when it’s cut. In fact to some degree, grass benefits from being grazed on, as grazers in a meadow will eat everything - leaving grass that is ready to grow back quickly, and severely harmed weeds and shrubs that will either die or be significantly set back while the grass quickly overshadows it.

True, the plant as a whole doesn’t die.
But this particular slice of grass on the microscope slide?
Dead.

I suppose, but only about as dead as a shoved off arm, I think?

And that severed arm is giving you the thumbs-up gesture.
