Can't speak for many of the rest, but jade plants are from southern Africa. I demand geophylogenetically accurate memes.

US Greens are damned traitors to democracy itself.

You can tell they aren’t serious by the lack of local political effort they put in.

Oh man! Making the russian flag out of her and using her hair as the white is golden!

It sucks that common mugwort is still illegal here in Indiana. Thankfully, there's a dispensary about 30 minutes away in Illinois.

As a plant watcher, or whatever this is called, I can assure you that this chart will not help you recognised local flora.

I sat on a stinging nettle a few years ago when I had a mostly outdoor job. Now I am an expert in identifying them.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

And yet people eat them.

Imagine the indigenous person hungry enough to figure that out.

I hate stinging nettles so much.. They're always the first to pop up in spring and ruin an otherwise nice walk in the forest.

I must be too American to understand this one ^^;

Stien is the nominee for one of the worthless 3rd parties we have here. The only people who vote for her are narcissists who call trump Hitler but are okay with letting him win by throwing away their votes so they can pretend to be extra liberal. In some ways they are just as bad as trump supporters.

Divide-and-conquer just enough to let bush win, then trump.
It's because of these bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL mY pUriTeH assholes that we got the Iraq invasion, the Kyoto Protocol global warming agreement being ignored and discarded, the indifferent federal response to the Katrina disaster in New Orleans, children in cages separated from their immigrant parents, the sluggish response to Covid, etc.

The world an objectively worse place via republican excrement policies, none of which would have happened if these narcissistic assholes weren't enamored of the stench of their own mUh PuRiTeH! flatulences to see a clear and present danger in front of our noses.

In a way they're worse. At least MAGAs are open about being shitty people and don't pretend otherwise. Stein supporters will act smug and superior ("I didn't vote for Trump directly, so my hands are totally clean!") while they let Trump fuck everyone (Gaza included) over. They're so focused on what's happening across the ocean that they don't care about the dumpster fire happening at home unless they can use it as ammunition to push "BoTh SiDeS" bullshit.

Wish tumbleweed was on there, considering how it was used to undermine American farms.
