Oh, so you’re in a real live desert. That’d be way too much work. I bet you have some beautiful natives growing out there. Sucks about the grasses, tho. I have enough trouble with bermuda grass, I can only imagine the problems from something that could be invasive in a desert

Daikon radishes. They grow in about anything and are especially good at clay busting. Grow a bunch then let them die back. Till them in and repeat until you get enough environment for the worms to take over the tilling. You can keep piling on radishes with something like clover and peas to add some nitrogen fixers. This is more a pasture revitalization technique, but if you don’t mind being the weird radish guy for two or three years (depending on local conditions), you could do it on a smaller scale for a lawn

Since we’re in a science-themed shitpost area, I’d just like to take this moment to be both pedantic and gross in reminding folks that llamas and alpacas don’t just spit, they vomit into their mouths before givin’ it that hawk tuah

If I had a kid that asked for Newports, I’d just give em to them. Kinda curious to see where that goes

Then, unless you’re the owner, you’re getting underpaid

An evocative image that truly captures a genuine facet universal to the gem of human experience, for in the gulf between every one of us lies some kind of weird ghost thing fuckin up the steez

I’ll accept that. The exception that proves the rule. Never met a pigeon that I didn’t like

If you’ve ever lived with a bird, you know the size waned but the terror only grew

Life’s a piece of shit, when you look at it

Messiah Shark do do do do do do

The sun be crazy. Like, it’s more or less a self-sustaining explosion that’s so far away the energy of it takes almost ten minutes to cross the void to us, but is still so powerful it can burn and blind you if you’re exposed to it for too long. And the effects are only that minor because our magnetosphere blocks most of the solar wind. That wind is coming at us at almost a million miles per hour

There’s a solution you’re not seeing here:

They think they can just pave you over. Learn to use power tools and suddenly you can take just about anything apart 😘

One of the hallmarks of a bad weapon: significant overlap in maximum range and minimum safe distance

Well, good news is if you make it back you got pretty good chances. Benny was a freak

I played up the dynamite aspect a bit there, but The Bone Wars were very real, very not a porn, and reads more like a Cohen Brothers spec script than anything that, you know, actually happened

They’re also the only discipline I’m aware of that frequently sabotaged each other’s research using TNT like Looney Tunes characters

Cue the downright vicious paleontology blood-feud between the two camps of thought on whether they were tenors or sopranos
