Not to take the post too seriously… but the idea of survivorship bias still applies. We don’t see how many plants died, or simply never started to grow because of that sidewalk. We only see hulk-doge.

Not really. Of course there is always little ones that won’t make it, but why does a plant neglected outside become a chad while a plant babied and nourished inside won’t.

Every plant outside isn't a Chad. It's just the chads that you get to see because those are they only ones that survive. If you were intentionally trying to grow that Chad inside, it would be a Chad inside as well.
