    ok, but just so you know, I did not consent

      My kids will gladly blow you anyway. They don’t care. You’ll shoot your seed all over the neighborhood, and they’ll just smile and laugh.

  Helping a plant get off… gross, now I’m sad

  Ballistic babies… all is right in the world

  What a couple of psycopaths.

  Okay, but sperm literally comes from the Greek for seed. Semen comes from the Latin for seed. Seed is used as a euphemism for semen in English. The exact science might not work out here, but humans have been using seed as an analogy for sperm/semen for thousands of years at least

    also, pollen contains the male gametes I thought - how is that not dimorphic? Plants vary in their sexual strategies, but I do think it’s fair to think of pollen as containers of semen or sperm … or at least that’s always how it’s been presented anyway 🤷‍♀️

      Yeah, the last time this was posted I had to run to wikipedia because I was fuming at my memory being wrong. I even have vague memories from biology in college about the 8-cell formation of a fertilized plant ‘egg.’ The poster was likely trying to say that many plants don’t have ‘male-only’ and ‘female-only’ types, but at the very least, fruit bearing plants/trees (angiosperms, if I remember) have two sperm-equivalents in the pollen that drill down into the pistil of the flower and find the waiting gamete. One fertilizes, one becomes the food portion that we take sustenance from.

  A better analogy would be when you pick pollen from one flower and use it to fertilise another.

  …I do this all the time with my pepper plants.

  What if I do want to blow a Dandelion? I’m fairly sure you can find depictions of that somewhere…
