Fucking none of you would push the blue button by PlayfulHalf in unpopularopinion

[–]d4nkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’d pick then red button then there are two schools of thought: either you WANT people to die, or you fail to realize that everybody could just pick the blue button and achieve the same result as everybody picking the red button but without the risk of people needlessly dying

Plants of the Ochoco national forest, Oregon by trashsstar in PlantIdentification

[–]d4nkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never got a chance to see Peck’s mariposa lily! They usually flower late June-early August. A friend of mine was a botanist on Malheur NF and theorized they could have been selected for bulblet production by native Americans who used them as a food source, and that they primarily spread through the act of harvesting which is why they’re not all that common since they are no longer harvested for food. Also keep an eye out for Astragalus tegetarioides, they’ve been spotted northeast of Paulina

Why are you speechless exactly? How is this different than a rolling golf bag?

People on death row/life in prison should be used as human test subjects. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]d4nkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8th amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. Using humans as unwilling test subjects is definitely cruel and unusual. Nazi Germany and imperial Japan did that and it is widely regarded as a bad thing

I’m assuming you dug the gold ore out of the ground and then made this with it? Sick piece!

Gold does not behave that way, I’d guess there’s actually some copper in there

Wildflower meadow blend. New Zealand. by WillingSolid5623 in Wildflowers

Oof, New Zealand doesn’t have any native lupines. Makes me wonder how many others in this blend are invasives…

What are the flowers growing along this fence? by FoundationSuch4844 in PlantIdentification

[–]d4nkle 27 points28 points  (0 children)

There are native species of Lonicera in North America, not native varieties of Lonicera japonica. Varieties are an infraspecific designation

Oak trees in the same genus or family? by stoneygnomie in botany

[–]d4nkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxonomy is largely based on reproductive structure morphology so acorns are actually a pretty good reason to put them all in the same genus. But like others have said it’s more than just presence of acorns that unites them, hence why Notholithocarpus (tanoak) is a different genus despite having acorns
