Can’t speak for many of the rest, but jade plants are from southern Africa. I demand geophylogenetically accurate memes.

Jade plants were very popular as house plant in the soviet union, everyone had one at home. This could be a reason why AI got confused there

Everybody knows that the best political arguments are generated by “AI”, \s

US Greens are damned traitors to democracy itself.

You can tell they aren’t serious by the lack of local political effort they put in.

Posting a link to a handful of names on sporadic ballots across the US is a dumb person’s idea of what “serious electoral effort” is.

Son, I am disappoint.

The one guy running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation commission is the only one I saw running in the short of race where the Greens have a chance to affect change. Running for the federal House or Senate isn’t where they should be focusing their efforts until they build a base of support.

It sucks that common mugwort is still illegal here in Indiana. Thankfully, there’s a dispensary about 30 minutes away in Illinois.

Wait does it have psychoactive properties? First I’m hearing of mugwort, sounds like a witch should use it.

I think you need to take a closer look at the plant labeled as mugwort.

Oh I see the joke lol. It doesn’t really look that much like weed and other plants do have psychoactive properties too sometimes, tbf! Haha.

I sat on a stinging nettle a few years ago when I had a mostly outdoor job. Now I am an expert in identifying them.

And yet people eat them.

Imagine the indigenous person hungry enough to figure that out.

That’s an interesting question. I can’t even imagine it was hunger as even kgs of green leaves won’t satiate a family’s hunger. Maybe it was an attempt at checking if the plant could cure when cooked? Maybe it was believed that all stinging and poisonous plants had magical properties? Who knows.

It’s like rhubarb. It’s all poisonous except the stems.

I hate stinging nettles so much… They’re always the first to pop up in spring and ruin an otherwise nice walk in the forest.
