We are only 5 years ahead of a fungus that makes farmland unusable. And that 5 year gap is shortening every year because the fungus is evolving faster then our ability to genetically modify crops to combat it. This fungus is in almost every field in north America and is related to the fungus that took out the bananas in the past.

I thought the 5 year fall was shortening every year because the years pass

Nope, a newly modified canola strain has about 2 years before the fungus can overcome it. And a new strain needs to be introduced. And those new strains are getting harder and harder to produce.

Don't ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever.

Man, I already don’t do verbs at people. I’m posting this to a website though, and that doesn’t involve people, but if you choose to read it, then I’m delighted. If we have that layer of internet abstraction, then we can do whatever we want?

I’m gonna go outside and touch some grass.

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Parasitic wasps will paralyse spiders and lay eggs inside them, then the spider will slowly die being eaten alive by wasp larva from the inside.

What about fig wasps

I'll have to put a pin in that and circle back once I've had a chance to look into whether I can think about looking for that information for you.

I know that I know nothing, that must count as something right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

Nope, sorry. Can't help you with that.

I may not know anything but as someone who knows something I can say that the thing is permitted.
