  Anyone got a real source on this? I grew up near a forest that had loads of these, and all the leaves were always spiky. Sure there were also loads of deer around, but I can’t remember having ever seen a non-spiky one like that. Looks more like an odd mutation or so to me.

      Cool! So it’s European holly that does this. I’ve never seen a non-prickly American holly leaf, tho

  Humans are like this. In many cases an “asshole” is a human who had adapted to a more dangerous environment, at the cost of their pleasantness.

  This is fascinating, but can you quickly explain the title you gave this? @fossilesque@mander.xyz

  It’s crazy poetic and I’m wondering if you’re referencing anything?
