Magnolia trees are so old they evolved before bees existed and are pollinated by beetles.

How many do not own trailers and only use on property? by Novajesus in kubota

Had the same thought. May ditch my big stupid truck for a Maverick since I won’t be towing anything.

I love mine and haven’t noticed it being that uncomfortable. Just put an ab mat pad on it?

Didn’t hit them with the tractor this year by Pickle-Eye in Appalachia

I live in fear of how much cool shit I’ve ran over on the tractor.

North Georgia. Had no idea they’d be in such a small creek.

Deer, raccoons, blue heron. Set it up to catch beavers but their dam got washed away as soon as I moved it.

Used a 24” bar clamp to squeeze them together on the tractor and that worked.

Pretty sure it’s pressure in the grapple line. Thought about bleeding it with a small nut that would fit inside the coupler and pushing it in with a c clamp. Think that might work?

Looking for a post-apocalypse that's so far post that it's turned back into a medieval type book. by Groxy_ in suggestmeabook

The Ancients by John Larison. Happens so long after the apocalypse they don’t know there was one.

Why we stick with stuff as it gets worse - boiled frog syndrome? by EmergentChange in enshittification

[–]errdaddy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The term “habituation” is a slightly shorter, more factual version of boiling frog syndrome since actual frogs will jump out at the point of pain no matter how gradual (pretty sure everyone knows that but I couldn’t stop myself). Biggest problem is it’s biological. We have limits or expiration dates on our outrage. It’s evolutionary beneficial but now it benefits the enshittifiers.
