I just don’t understand how this happened. But here’s a picture of a lemon from my backyard

Satan lemon
every villain is lemons
And finally, dear listeners, a reminder; several concerned citizens have brought to the city’s attention an irregularity surrounding this summer’s citrus harvest. City council would like to remind all enterprising fruit pickers to exercise reasonable caution when acquiring these fruits. Grasp the fruit firmly around its circumference, pull slowly but steadily to avoid damaging the tree, and under no circumstances heed its demands of you. Do not acknowledge or obey the depraved whisperings of the demon fruit.
And now: The Weather.
This kind of looks like a Buddha’s hand to me
they’re a type of Citron, a citrus closely related to lemons. I wonder if whatever causes that twistedness in Buddha’s hands is present but dormant/recessive in other citruses?
a lot of people having been messaging me about this, and honestly i had no idea that Buddha’s hands existed and it totally seems likely to me??? like honestly that seems like a really plausible explanation, especially because when we look at the demon fruit, the twisty ‘arms’ are going off in all different directions when the only place i can see a twisty arm happening on a lemon is on the top. like if the fruit is developing from the original growth point into a body then why are the offshoots developing the opposite way, from a body into a twisty thing? when in a Buddha’s hand, it totally makes sense because the twisty things are growing outward anyway.
im no pomologist but the similarities in the growth patterns really do reflect in The Demon Fruit.
Scientists named the octopus cities Octopolis and Octlantis and I just – yes.
wow i hope they invite us to their parties
I saw a documentary about this. Climate change and habitat destruction, while bad, are forcing some octopuses to live closer together, potentially solving a problem that has kept them from being a far more dominant species. They are super smart and very capable of learning from each other but when they live alone, they never get a chance to learn from other generations because their parents leave or die. Now there’s older ones living with younger ones who can pass on knowledge.
Lol a bunch of octopuses just crawled up on a beach the other day for no discernible reason and it was like “meh, it’s 2017” and everyone kinda missed it. I found it funny as fuck and decided they were coming out here to tell us all to cut our shit out.
IN AGRICULTURALRESEARCH, it’s been understood for some
time that many of our most important foods have been getting less
nutritious. Measurements of fruits and vegetables show that their
minerals, vitamin and protein content has measurably dropped over the
past 50 to 70 years. Researchers have generally assumed the reason is
fairly straightforward: We’ve been breeding and choosing crops for
higher yields, rather than nutrition, and higher-yielding crops—whether
broccoli, tomatoes, or wheat—tend to be less nutrient-packed.
In
2004, a landmark study of fruits and vegetables found that everything
from protein to calcium, iron and vitamin C had declined significantly
across most garden crops since 1950. The researchers concluded this
could mostly be explained by the varieties we were choosing to grow.
Loladze and a handful of other scientists have come to
suspect that’s not the whole story and that the atmosphere itself may be
changing the food we eat. Plants need carbon dioxide to live the same
way humans need oxygen. And in the increasingly polarized debate about
climate science, one thing that isn’t up for debate is that the level of
CO2 in the atmosphere is rising. Before the industrial
revolution, the earth’s atmosphere had about 280 parts per million of
carbon dioxide. Last year, the planet crossed over the 400 parts per
million threshold; scientists predict we will likely reach 550 parts per
million within the next half-century—essentially twice the amount that
was in the air when Americans started farming with tractors.
California has been in a drought for several years, but we got heavy rains this winter so the state of California has declared the drought “officially over”
Aside from the issues of people no longer conserving water (“because we’re not in a drought anymore guys!!!” 🤦🏼♀️), this also means that in the spring all the plants on the hillsides grew a ton because of the extra water, and when summer hit it dried out and now the hills are completely covered in dry weeds, aka perfect fuel for fires
This cycle has been repeating for years but tbh I don’t think we’ve had a ~really bad~ fire for the last several years
So basically the entire greater LA area is just a ticking time bomb for when everything can go up in flames
