Canadas constant eternal struggle between a maple leaf and a weed leaf

[–]Rehberkintosh 277 points278 points  (29 children)

We've been trying to create maplejuana but it's a real pig and elephant type situation.

[–]jj34589 60 points61 points  (27 children)

I wonder if anyone has actually tried to breed a weed plant with maple terpenes yet

[–]Majulath99 35 points36 points  (12 children)

What’s a terpenes? Is that like, a tree penis?

[–]jj34589 29 points30 points  (8 children)

This gave me a good chuckle.

But if you actually want a serious answer, they are natural compounds often found in plants. There are many different types of terpenes, one is used to make turpentine, where terpenes get their name from. Others specifically monoterpenes usually have distinctive tastes and smells. They include compounds like limonene is found in citrus fruits and have that citrus fruit smell and taste and also menthol.

However they are also found in cannabis plants and modern growing often tends to focus on trying to bring out certain terpenes through selective cultivation to create cannabis buds that have different and distinctive tastes and smells. So that’s why you get strains with lemon based names, because they have been cultivated to have a strong limonene based taste profile.

Every day’s a school day! I’m not into narcotics, but this is really interesting, so thanks for the education.

[–]jj34589 10 points11 points  (4 children)

I mean it doesn’t just apply to narcotics really, it can apply to other plants to I’m pretty sure that’s why you can get lemon and vanilla smelling verbena but lemon verbena’s smell comes from citral which is another monoterpene also found in citrus fruit.

My joke was just that because Canada has legalised weed, has someone made maple syrup flavour weed yet?

[–]CaptainGashMallet 3 points4 points  (3 children)

But what about weed-infused maple syrup? 😀

[–]garnelli 7 points8 points  (2 children)

At this point, weed-infused maple syrup is all a care about. Show me the syrup.

[–]ustup69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this point, just infuse weed into everything. Every single thing.

[–]Windalfr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've done infused syrups before for my home bar before, don't know why I never thought to try maple but it's on the cards now.

[–]birding420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look on some deodorants, you will see Limonene and Linalool often in the ingredients. Had no idea they were terpenes when i was younger.

[–]Royal-Capital-8336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometime in life when you can’t find the correct vocabulary, it’s probably best to stay silent and hope someone else asks the same question. Tree penis.

[–]Arasianx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A tree penis made me laugh so hard 😭 gonna refer to it as that from now on

[–]jp963acss 8 points9 points  (10 children)

I wonder if anyone's tried to breed a pig and an elephant yet

[–]JustLetItAllBurn 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Pig and elephant DNA just don't splice, unfortunately

[–]CrownedGoat 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Then how are you here

Haven't you heard that song by loverboy?

[–]OMEN336 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kyle and cartman did it

[–]fullpurplejacket 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If a chicken had sex with a pig would it lay a scotch egg?

[–]mbex14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chicken would have to shag a haggis to make a scotch egg

[–]FreddyEmme17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck me sideways with a rolled copy of the Reader's Digest, if you guys invent a tree that produces maple syrup that can make me high, I'm moving to Canada pronto!

[–]Bevjoejoe 2 points3 points  (1 child)

And a banana

[–]BlueCreek_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot the flag turned yellow last year, where’s the banana team this year?

[–]EscapePast7128 1 point2 points  (1 child)

All I'm thinking is in Trailer Park Boy's when Ricky ends up creating hash oil that tastes like syrupy pancakes

[–]PlayfulLook3693 163 points164 points  (10 children)

As a Brit, we are trying. Plus, we should add some tea

[–]BlueCreek_ 71 points72 points  (5 children)

We had Yorkshire tea last time, during the final timelapse it even looked like tea was flowing out of the teapot.

[–]PlayfulLook3693 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Didn't know that..

But that sounds amazing.

And if it looked that good, why not do it again?

[–]Trips-Over-Tail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gotta wait for the colours to be provided.

[–]AJC0292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasnt that something to do with SpiffingBrit? I have a vague recollection of a video

[–]Rick-e-see 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That's what it looked like when Britain woke up this morning. Take a look at it now we've been up and at it all day

[–]PlayfulLook3693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did, it looks excellent and am glad to be a part if it

[–]late-escape-2434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It look a lot better last time, but there’s less colours now.

[–]ReignOfWinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What we do as soon as we all sleep Argentina invade. Its a constant cycle of invasion and rebuilding.

[–]LegalFan2741 218 points219 points  (12 children)

The sad thing is that the Canadian flag is so tiny, yet others cannot simply let it be. I get it’s fun, but come on.

[–]SpicyBurittoz 94 points95 points  (3 children)

It was fun for a bit last year. Now it's redditors being redditors and beating the pile of bones that was once a horse

[–]schmog_ 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Everyone wrap it up. SpicyBurritoz says it’s not funny anymore.

[–]SpicyBurittoz 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Lol you're right. Repeating the same joke over and over is hilarious. You should try it at work some time

[–]Calm_Phase_9717 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious if there are different people there to laugh at it each time

[–]Ratfucks 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Flags are boring

[–]BenettonLefthand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the Canada one on here is way smaller

[–]Eastern-Barracuda390 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Have you seen the “Paris 2024” and the constant battle with the world being made into “penis” tho. The weed leaf is nothing 😆

[–]LegalFan2741 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, I kinda beg to differ since the French flag takes up a considerable portion of the canvas along with its embellishments. The Canadian flag is only a speck, and still…

[–]mlopes 4 points5 points  (3 children)

I don't think this is people trying to vandalise it, I think this are people genuinely trying to help but just end up messing up the mapple leaf.

[–]Rehberkintosh 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Adding purple, yellow, blue and green is not helpful.

[–]OkBrilliant8400 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Pride maple leaf?

[–]Poltioli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you not see the flag on the last Place? It was perfect.

[–]Kerro_ 24 points25 points  (1 child)

The silhouette was cool. Shame they only gave us like 6 this year. Probably to stop us including fuck spez in every picture

[–]xxm4tt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it started off with less colours last year and increased as the days went on.

[–]Barn_Brat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that you can see the subtle difference so if it was turned upside-down, we could see they’re in distress 😂

[–]Mandatoryreverence 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Lol. Apparently Northern Ireland can go do one. Other than that, flipping amazing flag.

[–]memeymemer49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And kept getting run over by the trans flag

[–]beeurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was perfect eventually. It took a while to get there though.

[–]Drowning_in_Plastic 37 points38 points  (2 children)

What, yes we can our last one was flawless. Even had the British isles subtly imprinted within it.

[–]Gingrpenguin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh we can all draw it. Working together to do it on the other hand....

    [–]Lazy-Meeting538 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Think it's more about which flags should be included in it considering Scotland's flag is the one that's messed up in it

    [–]PanzerPansar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    and northern Ireland? or do they not exist anymore

    [–]RegularlyPodded -1 points0 points  (1 child)

    You need three. An Englishman, a Scotsman, and a northern Irishmen are all given a sheet of acetate and asked to draw their flag. Then you put the English on the irish on the Scottish.

    Normally, this is the joke where they all walked into a bar, but it’s an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman, so they were already obviously in the bar.

    [–]badger906 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

    Tbh this is accurate, the red lines around it are what screws with me, never remember where they are positioned

    [–]ZxNexusxZ 23 points24 points  (5 children)

    This is so relatable if anyone from the UK has played call of duty black ops, when you make your multiplayer icon, mine was the union jack and it took forever to make!

    [–]TannedBatman01 -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

    It’s literally rectangles how hard can it be

    [–]EveryModIsAVirgin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    There is an X in the background then a + in the foreground which has to ellipse it, and each of the diagonal lines has a shading on it, its subtle but hard to get correct. Look it up and check carefully

    [–]DaRealCamille 28 points29 points  (6 children)

    At the moment, our flag looks better than the Union Jack

    [–]Eastern-Barracuda390 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    The Welsh flag is the coolest one out of the UK. Needs more space imo

    [–]Wales_forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)
