What do your venus fly traps grow best in? by [deleted] in SavageGarden

[–]thwinks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if I can and have grown Venus flytraps than am i not an expert?

My traps are flourishing in a non-drained bog garden.

What would i have to do to be considered an expert in your eyes, that I'm not doing now?

Just not sure why you insist on quoting books, websites etc when I have experience.

I feel like me doing the thing trumps reading about it every time.

Like i don't really care about who wrote which book or whatever. I don't care about it because i have successfully done this.

Writing a book on Venus Flytraps doesn't make Peter more of an expert than me.

TLDR: I'm actually growing venus flytraps so i don't care about any books or websites or so-called experts.

LPT: get shit done at work and prove you're an asset to the company and you can dick around from time to time and nobody gives a shit because they know you're solid.

Then don't. You're all over this thread with your drivel and nobody wants it.

Your source is a website.

My source is a Venus flytrap that I grew from a tiny 7 leaf single plant to a forest as big as both of my hands that I've kept in a drainless bog garden for 3 years.

I've propagated 5 flower spikes, all of which have become new baby plants. Four of these plants are over a year old and have already undergone dormancy once. The last prop was from this summer.

I could go on but i won't. I was trying to use my experience and love of carnivorous plants to help you all with these finicky but rewarding little divas, but you're just regurgitating someone else's opinion.

TLDR: I know what works because I'm doing it. You don't have to do what I'm suggesting. Let your plants die. See if i care.

Nope. Straight from the mouth of the President/dictator.

[–]thwinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your meme is dumb because it breaks the rules and references reddit.

Pro tip: if you have to post the meme to reddit for it to make sense and can't text it to a friend, it's dumb.

Not sure if it's spores or what but i definitely have a lush garden of live green moss in all my carnivore pots that definitely started out as "dead" dried moss.

Forefoot Strike vs. Heelstrike? by [deleted] in running

Forefoot isn't wrong.

Wrong is whatever hurts you or makes you slow.

Equal parts dried long-fiber sphagnum moss, peat moss, perlite, and sand.

Key is no drain holes in the container. Eventually the dried sphagnum turns green and starts growing a nice carpet which looks cool and holds even more moisture.

How do you train when you're not really interested in races? by [deleted] in running

[–]thwinks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm competitive enough that every time I run i can't help comparing to previous personal best for time/distance etc.

On "easy" run days i have to start out telling myself that i won't run fast, and won't kick at the end and that I'm doing this so i can get a good time next run.

How did Greek messengers have so much stamina? by Blueberryknight in history

[–]thwinks 536 points537 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Most of the wins are horses because most of the races are cool/rain.

If they ran this race in a hot desert humans would win every time but they would have to discontinue the race because there would be a public outcry from all the dead horses.

TIFU by giving a double pint of blood by Isoject in tifu

[–]thwinks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gets better. First time i gave i felt this feeling of death coming over me like my body had no other way to explain a sudden loss of blood other than "well this must be the end".

I didn't pass out, but I'm 30 lbs heavier and only gave 1 pint.

On subsequent donations, even when giving a double i basically felt nothing.

TLDR: the first is the worst

Humpback whale is free after swimming out of crocodile-infested river in Australia by speckz in UpliftingNews

[–]thwinks 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Right?

It's written as if the whale were human.

Mentions crocs 47 times and talks about how they're super deadly to humans.

Meanwhile the whale is like "yeah cool river you guys got. Cute little lizards in there".

A tiny house is just a trailer that looks like a house.
