      What a terrible day to be literate

        On the internet, everything vaguely dog-like has a big, thick penis with an even bigger, thicker bulb at the bottom of it. I’ve heard it’s perfect for prissy subs everywhere as you love-fuck them into a drooling mess only to ‘tie’ them at the end as you howl your alpha-dominant status to the echoing world of your 10ftx10ft, $1500/mo roomapartment.

    As an aspiring gardener, I have successfully killed mint and blackberries. :(

    They need them some goats.

      You can rent goats. :)

        You used to be able to rent goats on Amazon, but I think they ended that.

      Prolly, mango. Then again, we might have to check if its native to the area, otherwise shrug-outta-hecks OOF

    We had blackberries in our backyard growing up. Every year we would cut and dig up as much of every plant as we could possibly see and we would scrape the top 6 inches of soil to move it far away.

    We would burn them all before we churned the soil and burned some more.

    We tried every trick and “natural” solution people recommended, but nothing ever stopped them from coming back.

    My super hippy mom got so fed up she bought turbo cancer death chemicals and sprayed them everywhere. The blackberries finally stopped coming back.

    It’s been 15 years and shes still mad that’s how she finally got rid of the blackberries.

      Burn and churn is actually fantastic for the soil. Ofc they kept coming back.

    Oh shit. This isn’t marijuana. It’s knotweed! That explains everything!

    My vote is japanese knotweed is going to win, and it will do so with ease.

      I like space war but space politics sounds really dumb. I want Neolithic cultures on pseudo ringworlds slung on planetary tethers down to supermind AI machine worlds beyond their wildest comprehension built by the star gods left behind in the wake of the human species.

      Is that too much to ask?

      source
      • Kitathalla@lemy.lol ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I think Ian M. Banks (‘The Culture’ series) already had that, unless that’s specifically what you were referencing. Though humanity wasn’t a part of The Culture, as explicitly explained when they were viewing us like apes in a zoo, so the ringworlds with primitive cultures on them that had AI machine minds tending them weren’t from the wake of humanity.

        You could write it?

      • supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Well, in a weird way that reminds of the background story to the board game Bonfire…

        No ringworlds, just a dark planet with no ambient light to survive by.

    Is this Vancouver island? If it is, add english broom, morning glory and kiwi vine :p

      I was today old when I found out that kiwi grows on a vine.

        oh, cool. I looked up pictures. I was sure it grew on a tree

        Gotta say I love those big Himalayan bkackberries, though… despite the lacerations harvesting them!

    Definitely not the UK because you can’t even legally sell a house with knotweed in the garden!

    source
    • Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You can sell the house - it’s just not so straight forward for the buyer to get a mortgage.

    We had blackberry vines in the backyard when I was little along a fence bordering with a neighbor (I think they originally started on their side of the fence) and I cried when they cut them down. They were so delicious!

    Never understood the problem with English Ivy. It only grows in the shade, you can see the line along my house where the sun never hits.

    Never seen it in the wild, can’t imagine. And if you don’t want it around, rip it up. The root system is extremely shallow, couldn’t be easier to kill.

    Planted bunches of it year before last at camp. It’s all either dead or barely hanging on.

    source
    • Seleni@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Speaking as someone who lives in the Pacific Northwest, that shit can take full sun to full shade, grow insanely fast, and choke out even the largest trees. Leave a small piece in the soil by accident, and you’ve got a new monster-sized plant before you can blink.

      It all depends on where you live. Lucky you that you live in a place where ivy behaves itself. Not everyone gets to be that lucky.

    • Khanzarate@lemmy.world ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well if it grows in the shade, then the invasive potential is gonna be in a forest, isn’t it?

      Growing tree to tree, choking out every other plant as it goes

      source
      • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Nope. The sun moves around, sunup to sundown, and changes over the seasons. There is one small spot by my house the sun never hits.

        As I said, I’ve planted it in my own forest, light is killing it. And if you don’t want it around? A light tug will completely uproot it.

    The mint and blackberries are native, but the rest is invasive. Better add some loostrife, caragana or knapweed for good measure

      Mint and blackberries are representing the home team. Strong competitors all around
