Maybe this is why they named a Super Mario RPG boss after this genus

It’s the lack of lignin (bamboo uses silica as a strengthener)
Oh I see

The funny thing is that both “July twenty-third” and “the twenty-third of July” are common in the US.

that said I have learned to prefer YYYY-MM-DD for all my cataloguing needs on computer because it sorts far more easily

A local park ranger I know likes to remark that our state tree is a grass. (I’m in Florida.)
But I’d say that’s also inaccurate. IMO, grasses are in the family Poaceae, and palms are in the family Arecaceae. I guess one could remark that our state tree is a commelinid…but I don’t think tourists would get as much of a kick out of that.

I think it’s arguable that “tree” is just a term for a growth habit rather than anything really taxonomically meaningful.

How many social credit points do I lose if I refer to bamboo products as “wood” outside of botany nerd circles?

Time to post one of my favorite songs:
(“Da Coconut Nut”, by Ryan Cayabyab. This version is probably the one performed by his group, Smokey Mountain.)

iNaturalist logo: starting around 942, 116. this might not be here in its entirety since the space for the last few letters has been contested (by up to four different factions lol).
A sea turtle (along with a message): around 686, 92. credit for the basic design is www.artstation.com/artwork/QnnNYZ , though I modified it myself.

Whoa, I miss this place. Was reminded to check this out because the Canvas event is going. Good to see Mander is still going well.
- Comment on [Canvas] Thanks for joining! 1 year ago:
Yeah, it’s a game where you basically lead a spaceship through a succession of planets while trying to outrun an advancing enemy fleet and randomized events happen to the ship and its crew along the way, including friendly, neutral, and hostile encounters.
The Mantis is one of multiple sentient alien species that can be part of your crew (and/or enemies who fight you).
