  They were also used as personal flotation devices and floats for fishing nets.

  And a bumper sticker to forget about speed cameras.

  Now I want a rubber stamp with that to prevent whatever from being scanned.

  This is the kind of bullshit they come up with when you don’t allow them to put the good stuff in it.

  Radium, that was the real thing, not this shit.

  Decipedes, centipedes, millipedes… sounds metric to me.

  Maleza is more like a thicket or lots of malas hierbas.

  But now I see that in some countries is synonymous with mala hierba, I didn’t know that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re completely right, they are two different words. For me that distinction was so clear that I never considered that what I wrote could be interpreted as two genders of the same word, that would make no sense.

  I didn’t know the origins though, cool.

  What about a bell pepper and an aubergine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if in other romance languages is the same, in Spanish and Catalan the two definitions are distinguished by being masculine or feminine. Fruto/fruit being masculine is the botanical fruit and fruta/fruita is the culinary fruit.

  How is it in other romance languages?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Slurs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Spanish we call them “malas hierbas”

  Where I live the first one is quite common, we call it “bufaforats”, it means hole blower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Trees⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Trees⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure trees in cities aren’t there to produce oxygen or capture carbon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Trees⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Alternative in what sense?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So it's a prequel, then?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and please don’t add any solvent, it may lead to some kind of solution

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actually it's pretty cool⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought stellarators were older than tokamaks.
