Are those bullet holes?

legion02,

No idea what they are but I imagine bullets would do a lot more damage to brick than that. And there a strange pattern that doesn’t make sense for bullets.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Depends on the bullets, but these are too consistently sized

xePBMg9,

Woodpeckers?

KittenBiscuits,

That’s not wood though. Brickpeckers?

this is very infuriating for people with trypophobia, really hope I could figure out how to hide this …

Oh please stop with these ridiculous made-up conditions, “trypophobia” is not a real disorder.

Almost looks like water damage but that is either a lot of water pressure or a long amount of exposure…

Brick worms… You see, #THIS# is why we can’t have nice things!

I’m guessing ivy?

A person made these marks, they all kind of focused towards a center line, overall. Maybe a rock hammer? Is especially obvious on the bottom third of the picture with the arcs in the patterns.

zipzoopaboop, in Tokay Geckos Look Like Mini Dinosaurs

I read that as mint Dino, which I think is also applicable

VikingHippie, in TIL: ferns have sperm that swims

So basically they’re just throwing horny Michael Phelpses (Michaels Phelp?) all around the place? I approve.

VikingHippie, in in Western Australia, until 2021, it was illegal to transport more than 50kg of potatoes in your car unless you were a member of the potato corps.

Also, Potato Corps is coming to Netflix this fall!

KCN, in in Western Australia, until 2021, it was illegal to transport more than 50kg of potatoes in your car unless you were a member of the potato corps.

Ok, but if someone here has ever had more than 50 Kg of potatoes in their car: why? What did you do with so many?

My mother used to buy like 8 or 9 50lb (22kg) sacks every fall to store in the basement to last the winter… it was pretty common back in the day, but not so much anymore.

But even now we’d be close to that limit…I usually go together with my daughter and get two boxes (22kg x2=44kg) of potatoes from the local harvester’s that we split. From there a box is about $22. (This is in Canada, and yes we’re Irish.)

KCN,

Ah, got it. Makes sense to stock up if you eat them a lot, especially if you buy from a local harvester as is your case.

In my head it was a funny image of someone with a small car like myself, filled to the brim with potatoes, heading off from a supermarket

    Well, if the info from the post is anything to go from, you would indeed call the potato corps and I imagine they would either deal with it directly or provide you with an exemption in case you get stopped by the police with your potatoes.

    Anticorp,

    After a hefty fee, I’m sure.

    burningquestion,

    Imagine getting pulled over and being asked if you have a license to be carrying so many potatoes all at once.

    perdido,

    You got a loicense for that, mate?

    Awesome.

    soupspoon, in in Western Australia, until 2021, it was illegal to transport more than 50kg of potatoes in your car unless you were a member of the potato corps.

    It’s not illegal to honk your horn for safety reasons, what are they talking about

    burningquestion, in TIL: ferns have sperm that swims

    More interesting to me is that a full fern life cycle takes two generations to play out. A diploid (two sets of each chromosome) fern throws off spores, and the spores grow into haploid (one set of each chromosome) plantlets. The haploid plantlets fertilize each other, and boom, the offsping are diploid ferns.

    meyotch,

    Truly interesting, isn’t it? Even cooler is that more ‘modern’ flowering plants do the same thing, but they have truncated and miniaturized the haploid phase so it is completely dependent on the diploid sporophyte.

    Don’t get me started on mosses. I have to go to work!

    captainlezbian,

    Ok but what if we want to know more about mosses

    PlasticExistence,

    I would like to subscribe to your moss facts newsletter

    Did you know that Richard Ayoade, who played Moss in ‘the IT-crowd’ debuted on tv in ‘Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace’?

    PlasticExistence,

    That is technically on topic, so well done!
