Riddick is the most interesting thing Diesel has ever produced. I love these movies. They’re a bit self serious and sorta cheesy, but a lot of the best scifi is.

I have billions in my lawn. Just plant locals (guerilla style) and they’ll be back.
- Comment on Japan anon complains about Google 1 week ago:
Spotify is a prime example of this. There are so many “features” I hate and that no one has asked for, yet shuffle doesn’t even work.
Everytime I start spotify in ny office after listening on my commute, it tries to start playing on my phone since that was playing in my car.
Or when I was still there, Reddit search. Absolutely useless and so fucking smarmy with that stupid doge.

Yeah if you were a n3wb bitxh and not a 1337 h4x0r like me.
The internet was better 25-30 years ago. No rose glasses needed. It was the wild west, and now we’re just hopping from walled garden to walled garden.

It’s a very fitting quote for an ad barrage

This is fun because I have no idea what this is because I was immediately bombarded with ads.

I think the last coming back was a Brian Herbert thing because Frank spent too much time beating his children and not enough telling them that Paul is actually a bad guy.

Am I alone in liking that ending?
- Comment on the sensory biology of plants 2 months ago:
I just want to point out that this source indicates researchers reviewed 1500 papers on the topic and found that unsupported claims had doubled.
However, they never indicate the number or give a percentage of those 1500 papers that featured unsupported claims.
So is it doubling from 2 to 4, or from 700 to 1400? Because that’s a major difference.
This is a problem with AI articles on science. They skim other AI articles and repeat without bringing all the important facts with them. Then we get dozens of results for one claim about science, with only maybe one or two original sources.
Then the idea spreads through reddit or whatever forum you prefer.
We know trees share resources, that they have been demonstrated to signal pain and danger to other plants, that they signal food availability to pollinators via electromagnetic fields. We have had hard evidence for all of this.
- Comment on the sensory biology of plants 2 months ago:
The mycorrhizal networks are a real phenomenon, and as recently as 2016 were confirmed to share resources between trees.
Researchers exposed certain trees to a specific carbon isotope and found their unfed neighbors were processing that specific isotope despite not being exposed.
We’ve also found that many plants generate interacting electrical fields that help promote pollination and may indicate to pollinators which plants are ready to be harvested.
We’ve also found, by sequencing fungal DNA, that mother trees do have a resource sharing preference for their direct offspring.
We don’t have hard evidence for direct communication between trees, in the sense that we don’t speak tree. We do have hard evidence that they share resources, have preferences, express pain signals externally and other plants react, and can indicate information to other species.

Next you’ll tell me Trees and Rivers share a similar structure because water flows efficiently in specific ways.
