I’ll just advise against oversaturating Lemmy.world with users and communities from Lemm.ee. If they ever shut down it would be very destabilizing to the lemmyverse as is.

Ah damn that’s still cool though.

Wait is this real though? Because that’s pretty incredible.

lol you gotta change your email preferences. I don’t let them send me shit.
- Comment on respect dandelions! 2 weeks ago:
Interesting but it’s important to remember that Europeans and their plants have been in the Americas for over 500 years now, which is plenty of time for oral traditions to develop. I’m not saying it’s untrue but I’d be curious to see what the genetic evidence says, since that would be a verifiable way to confirm. But in my experience dandelions grow almost exclusively in human developments, so it would be pretty surprising if they were native here.

Wait, what? Expand on this.

Make sure you publish that shit somehow so the next person doesn’t waste their time on the same experiment.

AKA bedstraw. Known for being used as bedstraw back in the day.
- Comment on On trees... 2 weeks ago:
Well there are certain features needed for a plant to get that big. So those features had to evolve independently each time which is a bit interesting. Wood is the famous example.

I’m glad to hear the “I ain’t reading all that” meme reply getting called out. It’s honestly one of the most ignorant things I’ve ever seen online and it should be shamed every time.

Fucking splitters at it again.

There are tons and tons and tons of species that can do this. It’s not clear to me what the prevailing species concept is nowadays, if we’re even still following one.

Real talk people are just going to need to get over this because there’s no real way to stop it.
- Comment on Liquid Trees 5 weeks ago:
True, but unfortunately, this species is way over-planted in many cities. I would not recommend them unless they happen to be uncommon in your local area. Urban forests need to be as diverse as possible to resist the constant barrage of pests and diseases being introduced by global trade.
In California we have a relatively new pest called shot-hole borers which are killing off many of the London planes, so we’re scrambling to plant other species that can resist them.
- Comment on Liquid Trees 5 weeks ago:
Your potted tree isn’t a tree in the sense that I’m talking about. The environmental services trees provide are all based on size and are predominantly provided by larger trees.
- Comment on Liquid Trees 5 weeks ago:
Trees don’t attract VC funding the way some dumb new invention does.
I guess this could be useful in places trees don’t fit but I think there are other simpler solutions.
- Comment on Liquid Trees 5 weeks ago:
The amount of water required is trivial compared to most other water uses. Especially if correct species are selected.
- Comment on What is the evolutionary benefit of loving a pet so much you melt into a puddle when they are around? 1 month ago:
My hypothesis has always been that we find baby (and adult!) animals cute to incentivize us to care for them when they need care, because our ancestors benefited tremendously from their presence in our lives. I agree that it probably started as accidental overlap from parental instincts but I think the feeling is too strong and applies to too many distinct animals to be coincidental.
That said, this is just my pet theory and I have no evidence for it.

Xerces is dope as hell.

I mean the obvious answer is to smell and then eat them. That’s what I do.

This being’s air tastes of sweat and milk. Disgusting.
- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 1 month ago:
Agreed. Even though I think voting is the right thing to do, forcing people to vote is an infringement on their freedom and I don’t think it’s justified.

Most neighborhoods have HOAs nowadays. It can be hard to avoid.

- Comment on Did the top of my little tree die? 1 month ago:
I think that’s what it is, but I’m not too familiar with this species and its potential maladies. You could try cross posting to !treehuggers@slrpnk.net to see if another arborist sees it there but I don’t know if any on Lemmy unfortunately.
- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 1 month ago:
I guess I forgot to say it needs to fit in the package lol
- Comment on Did the top of my little tree die? 1 month ago:
Is this an eastern redcedar? If so, it should be cold hardy enough for Wisconsin I think.
To me the top doesn’t look dead, but I’m not sure what’s causing the color difference. Perhaps it’s just maturing? If it’s still soft and pliable I would assume it’s OK.
