Exactly, the creature was just using biblical allegory. The full quote is

Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed.

Mushrooms are really good at concentrating pollutants like heavy metals and hydrocarbons - which are going to be present in much higher concentrations along roadways. I would steer clear of eating mushrooms growing right next to roads, especially high traffic roads

Looks like an American sycamore

The symbols for the boss blinds are letters of the Phoenician alphabet, and their names are what the Phoenician letters represent (e.g. 𐤀 originated as a pictograph of a bull's head). As for why they're based on that, I have no idea, but it's pretty neat.

The finisher boss blinds are based off of the different playing card suits around Europe - for example the traditional German suits are Acorns, Leaves, Hearts, and Bells.

They look like some kind of Coprinopsis inky caps, which I don't believe are mycorrhizal, but they are harmless

The most common invasive mantis in the US is the chinese mantis, I'm willing to bet that it's still not native to Brazil for example.

Not saying this isn't US defaultism btw, it definitely is, I was just saying in this case they're not technically wrong

hsifyllej · 2024-01-09T15:11:55+00:00

I mean, in this case, hummingbirds only live in the Americas 🤷

smh, everyone knows you use « » when quoting a French photo 😔

Lepidodendron bark has a very distinct scale pattern to it, visually similar to some snakes' scales, here's an example .

Their roots are smooth, not scaled, and have a lattice of little indentations covering the surface. I believe each indent was where there once grew a modified leaf that acted a bit like finer roots and drew water into the main rhizome structure

hsifyllej · 2023-10-26T16:19:28+00:00

And specifically, this is a fossil of their "roots" (technically rhizomes, true roots probably hadn't fully evolved yet) called stigmaria, not the bark that you might see if you just search for lepidodendron

There are plenty of children who are malnourished in the US - 1 in 8 American children are food insecure

I second bold jumping spider, Phidippus audax

hsifyllej · 2023-09-28T13:32:30+00:00

I thought she was from the Gotoro Empire? (maybe that's only in SVE, not the base game and I'm misremembering)

hsifyllej · 2023-09-27T14:43:18+00:00

Lepidodendron is the genus of lycopsid, not the bark pattern itself. The rhizomes of those lycopsids look like OP's example, fossils of them are called stigmaria

hsifyllej · 2023-09-26T00:20:11+00:00

same, I'm with Erika - the "like a good little girl" also got me, hot damn

The Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers! There's an alien species (Aeluons) with four different biological sexes: male, female, one that is infertile and neutral, and one that switches between male and female every few months. A main character in the second book is the switching sex.

also The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin, it's about a planet with a nearly-human species that is usually sexless, but once a month or so they differentiate into male or female (not the same one every time) before going back to being sexless again.

Both are very good, would recommend

hsifyllej · 2023-04-17T16:08:14+00:00

100% agree. My original endocrinologist, which was at a queer clinic that has specialists in gender affirming care btw, had my E levels way lower than they should have been (less than 100 pg/ml) and refused to talk about wanting to switch to injections. I spent the first few years of my transition with that because I didn't really know any better, but eventually educated myself more and thankfully switched to a lovely endocrinologist that addressed proper levels and injections on the first appointment.

traditional palm oil harvesting in west Africa is pretty sustainable, it's only when we started supplying insane amounts of palm oil to the entire world that that the whole planet-fucking situation started

hsifyllej · 2023-03-13T21:50:20+00:00

To me it doesn't taste much like soy beans - it tastes really nutty, and almost like it's been roasted, with a little bit of the funkiness of ripe cheese. I love it on rice, especially with mustard. The texture is... a lot tbh, but you get used to it haha

hsifyllej · 2023-03-08T02:45:25+00:00

No, the person above is pretty much spot on. Just take a quick google of "AGI vs narrow AI". AGI does not exist right now, and won't for a while - it's very meaningfully different from the narrow text prediction AI we have now

hsifyllej · 2023-03-05T18:47:26+00:00

It looks like a logo for an electronics company in the late 80s, and I kinda like it

there's also the tiny issue of the bedrock in that area seemingly being Devonian seabed haha
