Yeah I’ve had common evening-primrose, prickly lettuce, tall hedge mustard as spicy as wasabi, chicken of the woods killing our plum tree lol, now what looks like artist’s bracket too in our garden this year. But to be fair most of these seem to grow almost everywhere. Once you learn to identify one of these you will really see them everywhere.
wouldn’t it be ironic if this tree will now live on for hundreds of years, because the act of cutting it down made people care about it?
I wouldn’t be surprised if it had just uncerimoniously died a couple decades from now with no one really caring except maybe locals and some photograpby nerds.
Not sure how long sycamores live, but I’m sure we’ll now invent tree immortality gene therapy specifically for this tree.
the future is going to be so weird when we have living street lamps and genetically-engineered rats&pigeons that are compelled to clean up our all our garbage. perhaps we’ll have genetically engineered crocodile engineers to fix up our infrastructure too. genetically engineered wasps that clean our building facades. genetically engineered window cleaning birds with a squeegee shaped beak.
I’ve grown up doing hard manual labor most of my free time and let me tell ya, I vastly prefer that over taking exams and being stressed 24/7 for years.
sure, but those are edge cases. You’re equating the entire profession with their worst representatives. Besides I’m all for outlawing that kind of breeding, because the demand for them won’t disappear.
