unrealistic, the botanist didnt reply “ah yes, it is the humble [some latin bullshit], my fifth favorite tree in its order, most noteworthy for the shape of its leaves. it’s actually most closely related to carrots.” and then, of course, add “fuck yeah big tree”
Another fine addition to the broccoli genus
I can understand your sentiment, but when I look at a giant black maple and say, “yeah this thing is related to lychee fruits”, I’m not saying it to be a snob. I just think the world is an amazing place and love to share it
Me who’s none of these: hell yeah, big tree
Trees in a way are just big sticks stuck in the ground. And we all know sticks are great.
This seems pretty dismissive of the work that field ecologists and botanists do - and the rigorous nature of their work
It’s just a meme.
A meme accurately representing my plant morphology teacher screaming at me because I couldn’t see if the god forsaken ovary was inferior or superior would not make me laugh, it would make me cry.
Those notebooks have room for more tears
Agreed, but id rather hang out with the botanists and field ecologists anyway. I chose biology as a major precisely because the biologists were chill. The geologists drank too much and the engineers seemed uncreative. People who love and appreciate biology are my people.
If you’re not already watching crime pays but botany doesn’t on youtube you should start. It’s just 30+ minute videos of a profane botanist from Chicago running around nature and pointing out cool plants and complaining about society
Thanks for the recommendation. I looked him up and to my surprise the first video that showed up was of him here in Brazil walking in the middle of absolute nowhere talking nonstop about every single plant he finds on the ground. I am hooked.
His cloud forest videos are incredible. But this short video is one of my favorites: https://youtu.be/UdodZcrFIPM?si=39SLtRPjhgRyUlur
That is a very awesome big tree.
tree 👍
