    Discovering just how many vegetables are all brassica was a lot similar to when I found out that all real tea (black/green/white/oolong) is the exact same plant.

    All look the same as a silhouette.

      We know they follow a fractal pattern.

      As do dinosaurs, which ate the big trees, and (in chicken nugget form) eat the small broccoli trees too

      Nature is beautiful.

        You are what you eat, so dinosaurs are a type of broccoli too.

      I’m not sure if anyone’s see it before, but romanesco broccoli looks absolutely stunning.

    Is it though?

    I can often tell a Brassica species just by looking at it. Redwood seems entirely dissimilar am I dumb and missing a joke here or what?

      No, the joke is that people would potentially believe anything about brassicas at this point because everything else is a brassica.

      Do brussel sprouts really look the same as cauliflower to you?

      source
      • stray@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        In the leaves, yes. The white part is flowers.

      No, it’s just a joke. But lots of veggies are.

    But do the cabbage worms fuck with it?

    source
    • stray@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I recently took in one of these that was found on commercial produce, and turns out they will starve themselves to death if they’ve learned about the most premium crucifers and are denied them.
