My pc can run modern games more or less but only if I remove the side panel which prevents the voltage regulators on my graphics card from getting so hot it overheats the vram.

Maybe don’t buy a modern gaming graphics card from a shitty no name brand on aliexpress

I wonder is it something specific to the USA or in other countries people are obseessing over nit having them in the lawn?
I’m in France and every though WE are far from having wild urban meadow or meadow at all, I’ve never heard of people and HOA complaining about dandelion before learning nolawn mouvement on the internet.

GiddyGap ,

Definitely a thing in the US. People spend lots of money to have chemicals poured onto their lawns every year, summer and winter, to keep the weeds away. All of those chemicals have to go somewhere. Probably the groundwater and streams and other bodies of water. Not good.

@pseudo@jlai.lu avatar

I know people who mowed down carefully their lawn and spray them with presticide but they never had a issue with having dandelions, daisies and other common grass flowers, they are usually considered part of the lawn.

It’s a weird culture a lot of emphasis on freedom and protecting your home but then you just “ok then” when the local busy body comes around. It’s your land get them told

Malfeasant ,

They can’t initiate foreclosure anymore, since around 2005 or thereabouts… But they can still file a lien, and collect on it if foreclosure happens.

myrrh ,

…depends upon the jurisdition: in my state, HOAs can foreclose for unpaid assessments but not for fines…

Malfeasant ,

I was told it was federal, but I don’t keep up with that stuff anymore, I’ve been HOA free for the last 9 years…

I too had never heard of the insane hatred on the poor dandelions before stumbling upon it online.

They should just eat more salad if it’s such a problem.

letsgo ,

Clearly someone who’s never accidentally tasted dandelion milk.

JasonDJ ,

Totally a USA thing. Dandelions and Clover are seen as undesirable to our eugenicized monoculture lawns.

The terrible part is the clover and dandelions and these other early season flowers “weeds” are a very important part of a bees diet.

MintyAnt ,

I love your line of thinking. Lawns don’t feed the ecosystem, flowers do! But here in the US dandelions and clover are not a critical part of their diet. Native plants are the critical part of their diet - e.g. Native maple trees that bloom first!

Dandelions are native to Europe

Clover is native to Eurasia

They are far from the worst weeds, i wouldn’t go eradicating them like you should invasive plants (I leave both in my lawn anyways). But if we are looking to support our bees and ecosystem, then we should be re wilding our yard and growing native plants

In New England there’s a lot of neat spring ephemerals too (select from additional attributes)

JasonDJ ,

Thank you. My understanding was since these were among the first flowers to come up in the spring, they are one of the few plentiful sources of food.

Asclepiaz , to lemmyshitpost in Problem solved

I fucking hate dandelions, I hate herbicides a shit ton more though. I planted clover and other ground over to compete with the dandelions and to feed the bees. My husband and I go out picking dandelions any day it’s not raining and we see yellow in the yard. It’s kinda fun to see who can get the longest thickest root 😉

Arondeus ,

I did. XD. I did it on duckduckgo with safe search turned off and didn’t even find anything. Was a little disappointed tbh. Apparently nobody wants to see porn of Trump. But rule 34 states that if it exists theres porn of it. So if there’s no porn of Trump does that mean he’s not even real? o.O

Bruh this is one of the most well-known porn sites in existence. Don’t pretend like you’ve never heard of it. (You might be one of today’s lucky 10,000, I suppose.)

MystikIncarnate ,

I would be one of the lucky 10,000. But I’ll pass this time. I know plenty of porn sites (youporn, pornhub, etc… Most of the well known ones), but that one is new. I’ll pass for now. Maybe later, ok?

Psythik ,

You’ve seriously never been there? It’s a staple of internet porn, along with the porntubes like XVideos and PornHub.

If you can’t find it anywhere else, you can find it on rule34.paheal. Only downside is that it’s mostly pictures/drawings. There are some videos but they tend to be short animations.

MystikIncarnate ,

Rule 34 has never been my kink. So I haven’t sought this particular flavor of porn.

BlueMagma ,

I clicked and got redirected to france gov website telling me this website contains pedopornography. I’m not going to investigate to find out if it’s true, please remove the link.

Zink ,

When I read your post I saw the “head weasels” as a few tiny little cute C-suite assholes wearing little suits. They’ve been the top dogs (tiny ones) for so long that they’re completely out of touch with the ordinary fuzzball.

But yeah a different interpretation makes much more sense in context.

Leate_Wonceslace ,

Weasels aren’t dogs. They’re both caniformes so I understand the mistake, but I thought it best that you be made aware.

Just look at the fine print. Also of course it is ai, you can’t bread and deep fry something and keep this much detail. There is a reason fried foods are simple shapes, even those for kids who are marketed to with fun shapes

That’s never the package chicken nuggets come in. They come in plastic bags from the frozen food aisle. The pictured container is the type of thing they put steaks in with the clear plastic wrap on it.

Yeah, I don’t even get mad at them any more. They are hardcore survivors and proliferators, and will have a welcome haven in my lawn to piss off dick neighbors like in the post

Did you know you can get them in pink and white?

Really piss off your neighbors!

Draedron ,

And they are amazing for bees

Somethingcheezie , (edited )

I heard their pollen doesn’t provide enough nutrients for the hive/queen. Specifically protein.

Here’s a link to neat bee article. Go pollinators!

www.gardenmyths.com/dandelions-important-bees/

Protein contains amino acids, and some of these amino acids are essential. That means the organism can not make them; they have to get them in food. Dandelion pollen is low in valine, isoleucine, leucine and arginine, essential amino acids for honey bees.

Dandelion is consider a poor quality source of protein for bees.

menemen ,
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

Still better than short cut grass.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

That’s true, but it’s better than no flowers. I see this comment pop up pretty regularly in reference to dandelions as a source for pollinators as if eliminating the flower would be of little impact. Dandelions are one of the first flowers to show up for the pollinators, even if they don’t provide the best food for insects it’s still something, especially in sterile modern suburban landscapes. .

Somethingcheezie ,

That link lists the first foods for pollinators. Lots of things on that list which surprised me. We’re replanting our yard with native plants this year. If you like birds and wildlife this is the best way to attract them.

I also learned this year dandelions aren’t native to North America.

RizzRustbolt ,

That’s where clover and wild strawberry come in to play.

stebo02 ,
@stebo02@sopuli.xyz avatar

maybe they’re allergic to the pollen

frezik ,

They’re technically an invasive species in North America. Been around long enough now that they could maybe be considered native. If you’re looking to do a natural lawn in NA, though, you should probably still consider them a weed.

Leate_Wonceslace ,
@Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That’s a good point, and I fact I keep forgetting. Probably because the people who typically take issue with them aren’t concerned about native species (if they were, they wouldn’t like the grass either).

jupiter_jazz ,

I saw a bunny once systemically behead a bunch of dandelions in an area. It was cute and scary.

0ops ,

Goats love dandelions. It’s like cocaine

You can make Dandelion wine, coffee, dandelion salve, dandelion syrup, dye your clothes and eat them, to mention a few uses. - maybe he should sell them.
