@WestOzDaz @townhomesteader Conflating families, nightshades are relatively low in oxalates. The crucifers often are high. Nearly every vegetable has defense mechanisms. The reason any herb or spice is heavily scented is a defense mechanism. Enjoy your bland season-less chicken

@townhomesteader Have vegetables developed defences against being consumed. YES is the answer. You have just been tricked into thinking they dont. pretty much all of them come from the DEADLY nightshade family. Enjoy ya oxalates

Keyhole Gardening! WOW!

@bytemaster56 @trad_west_

This is British occultist Aleister Crowley's depiction of a demon, looks familiar? He drew this in 1918.

@Imanicchan1908 Right on brother. Due to some unfortunate advertising from Anheuser-Busch, many Americans refrain from anything Bud related. I would recommend a true All-American brand:

@badazn Righteous. Stomps all over “modern art,” unique style. God bless you

I painted Jesus from Revelations, returning on a stallion with a sword and illustrious crown, in my own style. King of Kings. 🕊️

Cannot believe how good Little Barrie’s latest stuff is, on Auerbach’s label, no less. RIP Virgil. Malcom Cotto definitely brings the funk, and Barrie and Lewis follow. The guitar work is incredibly detailed, rich ornamentation. Blown away youtu.be/b3eiaGEuWWE

@MuseZack It’s a shame, great saying

Does anyone still use the term “Mickey Mouse” as a synonym for something that’s chaotic or poorly thought out (“What kind of a Mickey Mouse operation is this?”) or is that a boomerism that’s largely died out?

@Mongus39 @UnPsyoped @_TruthZone_

@UnPsyoped @_TruthZone_ US would prolly be doing the world an immense favor by just turning it all into a desert. Jerusalem has been a parasite to humanity for basically 2,000yrs rofl. Fake “religious” books don’t help society but conditions it. The philosophies are common sense.

Very interesting...Trump told Israel "enough is enough" Are you paying attention?

@OurHealthNest It takes forever to grow, very finicky in winter. And this is possibly the most obnoxious presenter I have ever seen

Did you know?

@anishmoonka Intelligent Design

That pinecone in your bathroom is completely dead. Not a single cell in the whole thing is alive. And yet, the moment your shower fills the room with steam, it closes up on its own. Dead wood, reacting to moisture, all by itself. Each of those little wooden scales has two layers inside. The bottom layer soaks up water and swells by about 20%. The top layer barely moves. So when one side gets bigger and the other stays put, the whole scale bends upward and curls shut, same way a piece of paper curls when one side gets wet. Air dries out, bottom layer shrinks, scale drops open again. Pine trees have been running this exact design for about 390 million years, more than 150 million years before the first dinosaurs showed up. It does all of this for one reason: seeds. If seeds fell during rain, they'd just land right next to the parent tree and fight for the same sunlight. So the cone seals shut and waits. When conditions turn dry and windy, scales open and lightweight seeds catch the breeze and travel way farther from home. Look closely and the scales sit in spirals, 8 going one way and 13 the other. Same pattern you see in sunflower heads. I had to read this next part twice. In the 1960s, German coal miners pulled a few pinecones out of a coal deposit. Nobody thought much of it at the time. Decades later, a research team at the University of Freiburg got hold of them and figured out one was about 120,000 years old. Another was roughly 15 million years old. They soaked them in water. Both still closed up. Moved about half as much as a fresh pinecone, but after 15 million years underground with zero maintenance, the mechanism still worked. The coal had kept the wood flexible instead of turning it to stone. Engineers looked at this and started copying it. A team at the Universities of Stuttgart and Freiburg made 424 tiny panels out of wood fiber, designed to change shape on their own when humidity shifts, copying the pinecone's two-layer trick. They stuck them on a building's south-facing window. In winter, the panels curled open on their own to let sunlight warm the inside. Come summer, they flattened and blocked it. The whole system runs without electricity, motors, or wiring, just wood fiber reacting to weather the same way it has for 390 million years. They published the results in Nature Communications after a full year of testing. Every panel still worked. Your bathroom pinecone is a humidity sensor that predates dinosaurs by 150 million years, runs on dead wood and physics, and engineers are still trying to copy its homework.

@akafaceUS I theorize this is why men hate to clean. They are fully aware of the time and effort involved to properly clean something

He charged his client $5000 to deep clean their home, and shows what is included!

Civilization was built by people like this, and there is a stunning lack of gratitude in our culture for their work. In this specific case, at least half of the apple varieties in Brown’s collection were considered “lost” until he personally tracked them down and saved them. He literally went on quests where he did things like, tracking a lost variety back to a stump of a long-ago-cut-down tree near an abandoned homestead in remote Appalachia, took cuttings from the green shoots coming out of the stump, brought them back and planted them. Absolute legend.

@ShitpostRock2 Gen Z’s waning interest in alcohol and preference to weed is probably directly tied to reduced testosterone in the male population compared to previous generations

@thiccandhairy @ShitpostGate Thanks

@capearso @nickenshit @Aliathewhite That’s wild

@nickenshit @Aliathewhite It’s also possible that Killing Joke ripped this off from “Life Goes On” by the Damned.

Four decades on, and this track still goes harder and has more to say than anything made today.
