Tbh the only person I would be devastated to find out is a huge sexist would be Dave Arneston.

I know nothing about plants.

Talking to my Steel Defender. But yes, I am a warlock. And I was wrong, he didn’t have a soul, he had TWO souls. Inside this wolf there are two wolves. One wolf wants to be a good boy for his master, and the other wants to be a good boy for his maker’s Patron. And they hate each other.

Yeah, pretty much. They are considered pests down there. Imagine a swarm of locusts descending on your farm, except the locusts are each the size of your hand and are intelligent enough to work together when committing crimes. That’s how Australian farmers see budgies.

“Come on, I know you have a soul for some fucking reason! Fess up! Who’s your daddy?”

I think Richard is allergic to cats. Everyone knows that cats are attracted to people who are allergic to them

She’s right.

Me too, buddy. Me too.

I think the core of the problem is that back in the bad old days, things needed to be tuned up a bit before they would work right and there was a marked lack of standardization. Now, not only do our devices work right out of the box, bit they also have little quality of life stuff as well. I haven’t bought a battery-powered device in years that wasn’t partially charged when I got it, and most devices come preinstalled with all the basic utility apps.

Don’t Japanese speakers call Japan something closer to Nippon? So it’s even closer than that.

Also, as a LOTR weirdo, the thing that made me laugh was how the mountain range around Orienta is exactly the same as the mountains around Mordor right down to the location of the gates, just rotated slightly. And then right to the left there is Land of Evil-Doom, where the mountains SHOULD HAVE BEEN

Never underestimate the ability of a small change to completely break a system

Where else would you post this?

Gonna save this for later

The specific nutrients it gets from the bugs are nitrogen and phosphorus, which plants normally absorb through their roots. It evolved carnivory to compensate for the poor soil in its native habitat instead of developing its roots like other plants in the area, so it can’t pick up the nutritional slack with its atrophied roots.

In addition, every time a leaf closes and tries to digest what it caught, it uses a lot of energy. Flowering always is a big strain on a small plant, no matter what species, so when this strain is introduced the number of carnivorous leaves becomes a difficult risk/reward calculation, and plants are not known for cleverness.

Also, the energy to make that flower is an enormous strain on the plant. Usually, growing that flower causes most or all of the carnivorous leaves to die, and therefore often growing that flower spells the death of the plant.

In the last session, my party, who have been having a great time doing quests for my warlock patron, have suddenly realized that maybe they’re a bad dude after they killed a child (using the Rogue like a puppet to do so) and then had us brand our children with their symbol. Now they know why I have been so reticent and cryptic for the whole campaign.

Personally I’m just relieved that we finally are all on the same page. It was a bit frustrating seeing the Rogue get sucked into the cult and ignoring all the big red flags on the path to hell.

Not terribly? My hometown only expanded by one housing development, but most of those houses have not sold. But we had to close our windows at night because the mosquito sprayer trucks would spray so much fog that it impacted my mom’s breathing. When I was a kid we had fireflies and bats in the backyard.

As for my current town, I am not surprised at the lack of bugs since it’s all corn and nothing but corn; no real rivers, no big ponds, no forests near town, nothing that could shelter bugs outside the houses.

I have noticed this in the suburbs specifically. Just over the span of my short life I’ve seen pretty much all the bugs in any area I’ve lived in disappear, along with the bats that eat them.

You’re the first Karen I’ve seen on lemmy.
