[pavizi]

sure. why not.

[kalamik1tty]

it backfired (based on a comment on my insta)

[demilypyro]

had to take the case off my phone cause it was overheating. so thin without it. don't know how to hold it. feels like I'm gonna crush this thing

[demilypyro]

the urge is there. I WANT to crush it. but I can't. but it's so goddamn crushable

[demilypyro]

little miss crushbait wants to be hand-sized and paper-thin

[demilypyro]

that's what you people always say

RAM Doubler MacWorld - January 1996

Did you hear the scientists have found a way to grow colored cotton? Thoughts?

It’s not a ‘scientists have found’ and much more ‘people have been already doing that for thousands of years and it’s just gaining more attention recently’

[beowulf22121]

Scientists didn’t know. It should be “Scientists just found out”

[systlin]

There’s actually been a load of vitriol leveled against folks who try to raise traditional colored cottons, because a lot of cotton growers don’t want the colored cottons cross-pollinating with their standard white cotton.

But anyway cotton can be grown in lovely natural shades of greens, reddish-brown ochres, and browns, all of which deepen with a good boil in water with a bit of washing soda thrown in.

The color obviously doesn’t fade or run, because it’s not dye. It’s the intrinsic color of the fiber itself.

[angry-cajun-lady]

I....I want clothes made out of those colors. They don't hurt my brain!

[systlin]

Aren’t they lovely?

I’m biased because I love the natural earth tones of many fibers, of course...browns, blacks, creams, copper-reds, ect...but I think they’re just gorgeous.

If anyone wants to know where you can get yarn or cotton like this!

[carolxdanvers]

Scientists did not "just find out", and this is more of the same anti intellectual bs as the post that goes around claiming archaeologists were too stupid to know that hair could be sewn for elaborate styles.

Anyway, scientists DID figure out how to grow colored cotton. They genetically engineered it to be bright fuckin pink, and they didn't "just find out" about it, they already knew which is literally what inspired them to attempt the thing they just accomplished. Begging y'all to stop pretending that scientists don't know things, don't have interests, don't grow up in farming communities or have family who taught them this. Scientists are people. Do you seriously think people who use genetic engineering to make eco-friendly pink cotton don't know anything about textiles?

Anyway. Bright pink cotton without dyes, because science is awesome

[gamerwoman3d]

Yes. CSIRO scientist Doctor Colleen MacMillan led the team that figured this out. They used tobacco plants for testing because of the genetic similarity. Basically if the tobacco leaves produced colors when injected with a bit of the experimental genetic material, the scientists on the team already understood that the color change would affect cotton bolls as well.

They grew bright red and bright yellow in a petri dish.

And yes, Doctor MacMillan knows lots of things. Here's a list of some of her publications.

Additionally folks are researching how to create flame resistant cotton and black cotton. If a variety of black cotton becomes viable, it can stop a LOT of environmental damage caused by chemical manufacturing of black dye.

[nartoq]

THIS. Every damn botanist I know, including myself, is at the least tangentially interested in fiber arts and indigenous methods behind things like that. Scientists have hobbies and we're all goddamn nerds so a lot of those hobbies are more niche. The anti-intellectualism is insane. I swear half of y'all think scientists are all evil cackling old men devoted to holding up colonial power systems. The work done by Dr. MacMillan is crazy cool and should be celebrated

"Not dot gz!"

[probablybadrpgideas]

The forest elf dialect has 200 words for tree, and their word for plurals is repeating the word for tree as many times as there are trees.

Commonfolk-speak: "There are twelve trees in the valley."

Forest-elven: "Ka'sto kala kri ko sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf sklaf."

­I like the implication that forest elven grammatically is incapable of talking about groups of things besides trees.
