The taxonomy in biology can be really confusing. Potatoes (only their fruits), peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, avocados, lemons, oranges, kiwifruit and papayas are also in the berry club.
Bananas have seeds, they’re just incredibly degenerated in commercial bananas. Next time you have one, break off a chunk and count the black specks inside. Each one would’ve been a seed if not for generations of human intervention.
Firefish is more tumblr-y, mastodon more twitter-y. Both are good, have their pros and cons. It’s a matter of preference. Firefish is extremely easy to set up though, like ridiculously so.
Just started using it. First impressions, it's definitely feels more unique than mastodon, and has features its missing. Like there are reactions in addition to favoriting a post, and you can quote post. At this point, It kinda feel's like Mastodon's kbin.
I find Firefish adorable for some reason? Like I know nobody who uses it but when I signed up a bunch of random people made sure to greet me. It was very sweet.
A mastodon DM is a private post. Setting a post to private before sending means only mentioned accounts can see it, and all mentioned accounts get notified. In a sense this enables both DMs and group messages too. But it’s not the most elegant interface for it tbf. A good app makes this feel more DM like, such as Ice Cubes on iOS or the equivalent on Android.
And intelligence doesn’t make you not a colossal idiot. Just look at former world class brain surgeon Ben Carson, Princeton and Harvard graduate Ted Cruz and technically still Doctor Rand Paul…
For some reasons a big part of Africa speaks French. There’s even a theory predicting that French could be the most spoken language in the World by the end of the century because of Africa’s population growth.
I guarantee you that absolutely no one in America is going to confuse Italy for “maybe Croatia?”. Absolutely everyone knows Italy is the one that looks like a high-heeled boot, and a very large percentage probably have never even heard of Croatia.
Home-grown fruit, like tomatoes (and especially strawberries!) are, like, an entirely different fruit than store-bought. They are SO freaking good! It is like opening Pandora’s Box, because you’ll never enjoy store-bought again.
Yeah, I started gardening several years ago and I’ve now got about 5 different varieties of tomatoes, they all taste unique and they all taste fucking amazing. But I will say, if someone isn’t into the idea of gardening, then I would agree its a waste of time.
Or you can be like me thinking I hated tomatoes, until I tried home grown ones finally and realized it isn’t tomatoes I hate it’s shitty mealy store bought tomatoes that I hate. And it turns out everyone actually hates those because they are shitty.
you hate beefsteak tomatoes. they’re grown to be large and red, to survive transport well, and to look good on grocery store shelves. if your job is to sell tomatoes that you’re not actually gonna eat, they’re perfect. If, however, you intend to eat tomatoes it’s hard to do worse than a beefsteak. Mealy, flavorless, hard to cut, generally difficult.
What you want are plum, roma or campari tomatoes. The smaller dudes, and roast them a little bit before you use them if you can. We just started growing san marzanos instead of beefsteak varietals and the difference is night and day. Switching to them, I can finally taste the essential flavor elements of a good marinara sauce.
I totally agree on strawberries. They’re really easy to grow (once they’re in place, they survive through winters and you actually have to stop them from spreading), and the berries are so good.
