Europe's most important rocket test almost foiled by a slice of cheese
  • I can't fathom what kind of idiot would risk the whole project for the sake of the lamest "joke" ever and why the fuck everyone else just let this happen.

    Britain to axe up to 1.5m lampposts — see how it would look | Street lights across the country, particularly in rural areas, may be replaced with cleaner alternatives to cut a £3bn bill
  • The lamp is under the treetop, not over it or on it's middle. So the trees won't demand extra maintenance to avoid shading the lamp. This way you can plant trees all along the pathway, and as a bonus they will help containing the remaining light pollution from the already small reflection from the pavement.

    How can i be sure i have a Stachys byzantina in my hands? What are the plants that look alike them, that i should be wary?
  • Username checks out - dandelion is also a PANC lol! Never tried it, thought. But it's on my list, I haven't crossed a dandelion for a while, I'll get some seeds when I have the chance.

    That's an useful information you have. It does have a really high fiber content and is low in calories indeed. According to embrapa it have a decent amount of iron, potassium and calcium... as a fatty, may not be the worse idea (gonna have to ditch the batter fry, though. Dammit.)

    I'll look up these others you said, if they are as tasty as they are pretty, then it's a deal!

    No acorns around here, unfortunately. I'm in Brazil's capital. There are several fruit trees scattered around the town (including an whole avenue of mangoes and another of jackfruit), but fruits are seasonal and don't make proper meals.

  • Kinda because I can, kinda for the hell of it, kinda because people used to do that and these plants are resilient and I like the idea to have fresh edible stuff around then the zombie apocalypse breaks loose.

    Bonus: Also this kinda feels like dungeon meshi but with real foods lol

  • Oh this one on the pic isn't mine. It was silly to not post mine, but I didn't had it with me when I decided to post.

    Mine doesn't smells pineappley. Also doesn't smell like fish, which some places said it tasted like. Doesn't taste like fish either (I tasted a tiny bit, raw).

  • I'll try the app. It's funny that I bought it from a plant nursery, BUT they also had another plant, really similar but had a striking floral scent when you crushed the leaves (like lavender), and when I went to look up the name she gave me I found a whole set of different plant that had nothing to do with that one.

    Anyway. I'm probably gonna dunk in batter then fry out when it grows enough leaves... if it's the right plant (an unconventional edible produce called "peixinho da horta").

    I already got myself "flying potatoes" (another PANC, "cará do ar") and I hope I can eat them in the same meal, that would be cool af.

  • I'm gonna eat that motherfucker, so I need to be sure. Can birds, cats and dogs also eat them?

    Edit: my cat sneaked into the room and ate a bit of a leaf, the same size I had tried myself yesterday. We dead, I'm typing from the afterlife. I tried uploading an actual photo of my plant but lemmy won't let me.

    Punching Nazis is good
  • I know someone who loves the song Bella ciao and preached how noble it was because it was anti-fascist. Then on the same heartbeat got angry because the song was used in a funk, because "these favelados and their music are trashy and they are defacing this noble song!".

    Dude became a bolsonaro fan.

    Some people just have no clue what the fuck about no fucks at all. I think they just like the aesthetic or the face value of the speeches, and only surface deep.

  • They are already being called hamas just for being there. Then they might as well defend their positions, as they would do if any enemy force attacked them. Israel gets away with too many privileges.
