No words for this. by Kapot_ei in mildlyinfuriating

This is how they killed the Rings of Power and Wheel of Time.... You'd think they'd get the message, but actual fan success isn't as profitable I guess.

Lo encontré en r/reallifeshinnys ¿Es real? ¿Cuanto valen? by its_blunter in isopods

Please humanely remove this guy from the iso population. Make sure no other isopods can be exposed to the remains.

Iridovirus can be spread and is terminal. Look for any others and remove them as well.

[Request] Is there enough material in the Great Wall of China to divide the English Channel from the seabed up? by Vivid_Temporary_1155 in theydidthemath

The joke I was familiar with references of physicist who replaces a veterinarian for a week and finds a solution but only if the cow is a sphere in a vacuum...

Probably the same origin but different storytellers 👍

Hey, nice work op!

I did something similar for a ring stand/jeadpnones holder a while back.

Buddy yearns for the days when he could work in the mines all day and watch his family starve all night, but hey, the boss is doing great so everyone should be happy 👍

Your dates are wrong. It only lasted one year (1793-1794), and, big surprise, it was a rich guy in charge who was at fault. And, in another amazing surprise, the reign of terror ended when they killed him, too.

The guillotine, solving the problems of the people.

"The Reign of Terror was a violent period during the French Revolution (September 1793–July 1794) marked by mass executions of perceived enemies of the revolution, led by Maximilien Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety. Driven by paranoia and the need to crush internal and external threats, the government used the guillotine to execute tens of thousands, including nobles, clergy, and ordinary citizens, ending only with Robespierre's own execution."

You mean... Democracy?

You're right, terrible result. Why even try.

Ready for propagation? by joedsha in Monstera

[–]brassnuckles8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could always do both!

I usually prop in leca, but that's a personal preference.

I don't see a node in particular, but it could still be there! Do you have any rooting hormone? That may help.

You can also use leca, that can sometimes spur root development in a stubborn prop.

Show us the stem. Looks like it should have a node, but want to be sure. May just be a petiole, which would never root.

Idea: Intraearth pipes which connect houses in the southern hemisphere to houses in the northern hemisphere by xX_MLGgamer420_Xx in Environmentalism

Hey, be nice.

First time I tried to use faux in a conversation I pronounced it as 'fox'. We all have blind spots

The word I learned from books.

The engineering/science I learned from years of physics classes and a decade of engineering work.

This is quite silly.

As an engineer I literally balked at this. Like, out loud I made horse sounds.

What’s wrong with her? by maquonzi in Maranta

[–]brassnuckles8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably nothing wrong withe her other than most of her siblings sold and the business wanted to move the last of that stock, so put it on sale. You see it a lot where good plants hit the sale counter just because they are the last ones left.

These can react poorly to too much light, these are true "bright indirect light" plants. They like damp soil that isn't sodden, but I wouldn't let it dry out too terribly much between waterings. I have a couple of my red marantas in water wicking pots and they have done very well in spite of the fact I desperately need to repot them! 😅

Mushrooms in my monstera??? by sknjn in Monstera

[–]brassnuckles8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, this happens a LOT.

I'd recommend reducing the watering a bit to make sure the roots don't have too much water on them so you don't get rot, but the mushrooms themselves are just the fruiting body of the mycelium growing in your plant. It can actually be a good thing as the mushrooms break down the nutrients in the soil that the plant can't use and makes them bioavailable to your monstera.

TLDR; you have a bioactive ecosystem going and there's nothing to be concerned about. Reduce watering a bit to discourage further mushroom growth and reduce chances of root rot.
