  • It is that hard.

    I fucking hate gardening. Fucking hours of work, thousands of dollars in tools and materials to beg a plant to grow because it can’t be fucked to grow on it’s own. Only to watch it die and it’s fruit rot on the stem because of some Norwegian small nosed stink beetle that’s invaded the garden. OH WHAT A LOVELY HOME I’VE MADE FOR YOU YOU LITTLE FUCK.

    I just wanted to make salsa. I could have had salsa any time. Months ago I could have had salsa. I could have made my own. I could have been bougie and gone to the farmer’s market and gotten all the things I tried to grow and made my own salsa.

    Instead I made food for bugs and mushrooms.

    Ok, so that scene in Jurassic Park where Dr Satler looks at a fern and goes “ok this extinct thing is killing your triceratops”

    Like a how does she know? Also the fact that they have this whole magic bs story about bringing back dinosaurs with frog DNA, but never tell you where the plants came from, does that bother you too?





  • So, I was going to do that math but it’s 65 fucking countries and I’m bored but I ain’t got that much battery left on my phone.

    At one time Britain ruled over 1 out of every 5 people on the planet. If we carry that forward to today it’s roughly 1.6 billion people. Let’s call that the lower bound.

    If we take the average population of any given country, which is fair given that China wasn’t but India was one of them, and divide that by the number of countries and then multiply it by the number Britain used to rule, we get 2.6 billion.

    Let’s call that the upper bound.

    There are roughly 2.6 billion christians worldwide. But not all of them celebrate Christmas. In the US, 85%-95% do. Let’s just use that for the upper bound and say 2.2 to 2.5 billion people celebrate Christmas worldwide. Let’s say 50% is the lower bound, at 1.3 billion people.

    Which means that it’s possible, and not even unlikely that more people celebrate independence from Britain than celebrate Christmas.
