This was my first thought - that this was a calculated stunt. Talent builds intrigue, but rage gets clicks. This is sad to see as it is, but if this is a genuine reaction, it’s even sadder.

I would never want anything to do with this artist, whether this was a genuine bad reaction or malicious. Just sad.

“Additionally, Disney announced that starting September 6 subscribers in the US will have access to a new ad-free bundled subscription featuring the ad-free Disney+ and Hulu services for $19.99 a month” I already have had this for a while, it’s interesting that this isn’t going up… maybe I’m missing something? I think I might have ESPN+ in mine as well, but I don’t use it, so didn’t notice.

Yup! Drosera is a sundew! It sounds pretentious AF, but a lot of plant nerds stick to Latin names because some plant common names get thrown around to plants that aren’t part of that genus or species, and that causes some problems researching care and needs of the plant. After a while you just stop thinking about it.

If I had a nickel for everything named a cactus that isn’t…

If you want to know more, just ask! I’ll talk about carnivorous stuff all damn day.

I deleted one 11 year account and 3 three year accounts. The amount of absolute repeat garbage bots on all my homepage, and throughout popular was so bad, it just became Facebook, but angrier.

Weirdest plant I own, Drosera Binata (which is carnivorous), I have two and a half Nepenthes (tropical pitcher plants, wife has one I take care of), some common “Spoon Sundew” Drosera Spatulata, a couple of Pinguiculas, and a Utricularia, those are my carnivorous ones. They are definitely the weirder ones, the rest are commonplace collector basics (begonia, orchid, calatheas, pothos, etc.).

I have a shot of my U. Reniformis and D. Binata, https://lemmy.world/post/79348 I don’t know if that will work - first week here.

Niche stuff. I mostly came to reddit for discovering interesting/weird/rare plants and the best way to care for them. Googling has become absolute dogshit with obviously generated articles that are just parroting the same information (which for niche plants, can be false, speculation, and even harmful).

I’m in a couple of Discord communities (which have jumped up in activity in the last couple of days), but those communities are a bit harder to find that four year old post about “what does this type of growth mean”, or something similar.

I also used reddit for tracking technology issues in much the same way - very specific, hard to locate issues that only a few people might be experiencing and talking about in a searchable way. Everything from video games, to work related technologies.

Man, we’ll use any measurement system to avoid using metric…

I just audibly gasped. This seems like a sensory nightmare getting out of the shower, or during periods of high humidity.
