possible to cut an acre of grassland with scissors.
Never heard that. What’s all this modern nonsense? Traditionally you have to use a nail clipper!

Sure it’s possible. It’s also possible to gut an acre of grassland with scissors. Both are terrible ideas.

And trim the trees with a herring.

Coding on an old flip phone with a 10-key keyboard would be analogous to cutting the field with nail clippers.

I only code on T9 keyboards.

Honestly, I’m not sure it is. The scissors might get dull and stop being able to cut before you finish. (Grasses often incorporate silica into their structure to grind down the teeth of animals that try to eat it and thus discourage them from eating too much.)

Is your lawnmower “laser-based” or something 🤔 ?
OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 hours ago
Lawn mowers rely more on speed than sharpness. Even an extremely worn lawnmower blade will still cut grass if you give it enough RPM. They also have a lot more mass to be worn away than a pair of scissors.

This reminds me of a research project I did in university (studied ecology).
The goal was to find out how much food geese need during migration.
You can’t weigh them before and after they feed.
So we went to a meadow they always frequent on their migration path.
And then we used a ruler to measure the length of all the grass blades before and after they fed.
In addition, we collected what they left behind.
Like coding on a phone, it was foul shit.
