-a person terrified of butterflies

-covered themselves in fruit juice??

-sat outside when the uninvited guest was coming over

-became the butterfly god

I’ve seen more believable stories in green text. The only reasonable part is planting milkweed

When people overuse stuff like that it makes me think…should I not trust you if you don’t say it? Like are your default statements illegitimate which is why you feel the need to stress that THIS statement is real?

Obviously people don’t mean it like that, it’s just a dumb quirk in my brain making me annoyed by it. I even get annoyed by some of my own linguistic habits

I completely get that. I stopped watching a YouTube channel I liked because the host said “genuinely” way too much lol

I was always under the impression that the first “breed” ever declared was the pyranees in ancient China

I’ve been resisting buying a cactus for awhile now and I think you just gave me the courage to put the idea out of my head forever lol

For anyone feeling the same, maybe check out caudiciforms as a substitute! They grow slow, don’t need much water, and come in a bunch of cool varieties. It’s like bonsai without all the pretentiousness

It’s crazy how different they can be. I have no idea why they even include shitty tomatoes at those places. Awful texture and no taste, what’s the appeal?

Well, shit. Greenhouse it is?

I’m debating replacing my ugly old shed with one

My old coworker told me he had only ever eaten the transparent slices of flavorlessness fast food restaurants call tomatoes until he moved from the slums to a rural town and had a fresh one. It blew his mind so much he went on to spend 15 years as a chef.

My dad’s been growing tomatoes my whole life so I’ve been spoiled

Do what my dad does and plant like 40 of em, they can’t eat them all!

Yeah this is weirdly sexist. I only know one person this describes because he’s growing weed (legally) in an apartment so he can’t have a outdoor garden

Hell, I know over a dozen men with gardens and only two even grow peppers. Everyone grows tomatoes, though…

I was planning to “start over” on my home server when I moved but so far I’ve only set up HA on a standalone device.

This project might be the push I need to get the real server online again, nice work

I am attempting to grow lichen indoors for some reason. Wish I would have read more before impulse buying because apparently this is a fool’s errand

Also

Uhhh Geordi La Forge???

I mentioned this to my Trekkie friend and he’d like to add “Hemmer is also blind and so is the actor who played him”

I mean isn’t “the future is for everyone” kind of a major theme in Star Trek?

With Ellison in control, we might finally get that all-white, all-male Starfleet that non-fans have been begging for

It’s wrong for you to want a funny thing, yes.

Just want to say I appreciate you including a source. That’s some good posting etiquette.

If there was a toilet right there, do you think they would still choose the wall?

Have you ever been around drunk tourists before? The answer is yes

One of the worst parts of it is that Scooby Doo has had tons of successful series and they’ve all been pretty good. Yet they somehow managed to fuck this up despite it being an incredibly simple formula for a show.

That is a completely unfair comparison. For starters, Facebook is a for-profit advertising company and Wikipedia is a community-driven encyclopedia and should be judged by different standards

Second, both admins and users can edit Wikipedia when there’s a problem. Everyone is “responsible” for fixing it - or at the very least equally at fault

Next, the content in question. Facebook was (rightfully) given hell for hosting gore, CSAM, adult porn, etc. Things that are immoral, illegal, or outright dangerous. The offending content on Wikipedia is bad translations.

Lastly, the bigger issue is always enforcement of said content. Facebook was made aware of the problem users/pages/uploads and slacked off on doing anything. These Wikipedia pages have very low traffic and weren’t getting reported. And even with reports, Wikipedia then has to consult with people who speak the rare language.

They’re similar problems of vastly different scales
