If they really need to ruin nature somewhere, please let the US do this to their own nature so they can live with these consequences instead of outsourcing them

Funny that this bicycle thief still has such faith in humanity that he trusts you to not ride off with the bike

You're just hoping for Iran to develop a better functioning democracy than the US after it was "bombed back to the stone ages"?

That IS super nieve.

It is the only liverwort that does this. No need to check on other liverwort species. You can leave them be.

I hope your time will come too, it's crazy how overshadowed this topic is

Haha, are you speaking from your own practical experience, in which you failed and decided to buy canned food instead?

It's not easy, but it's not impossible either. It depends on your circumstances.

And there's an in between as well: grow some of your own food and buy canned foods as well. Or share a garden with people who know what they're doing.

Yes I guess cravings are part of the "reptilian brain" (brain stem) in humans as well.

Funny to think crocs could crave banana's. "Finally, gotta have some potassium after all these meats".

So they go around eating plants they don't know to see if they like them and get a craving for them later? Doesn't seem very crocodile-like

Interesting! But how do we know the crocs eat the fruit specifically as mineral or fiber supplement and not just for general sustenance, for the fun of death rolling a pumpkin, or "by accident"?

The sentence "it's not by accident either" indicates clearly observable behaviour. I.e.: A croc needs potassium, then eats a banana. But how did the scientists observe this?

And how do the crocs know which fruit to eat? I guess for them to eat anything with the intention of being provided with minerals or fiber they need to know their fruits?

I have so many questions. I know bears know a lot about plants and some apes are known to use specific plants (as medicine even), but this is indicative of higher intelligence so I'd be curious to hear if anyone knows about how this works in primitive reptile brains.

Good job! Now it is both a reply and not a reply

I can confirm kimchi helps me poop, so I guess if I just got administered some nanoplastics there would be more nanoplastics in my poop.

We are more of a symbiont than we like to admit with more than half of our cells being non-human.

Next step is to find a suitable photobiont and go find a rock to lie on

Radula complanata with visible gemmae. Found on alder in a marshland.

I liked how it looked in the sun, it probably wasn't enjoying it as much as I was
