i'm feeling autistic about plants so, maclura pomifera

It's a small North American tree commonly known as the Osage orange or "hedge-apple"

Before barbed wire was invented, it was used to make living fences; when you kept pruning it, it would sprout a thick impenetrable wall of thorny shoots.

The wood's properties are also insane: it's super-strong, burns really hot, and is highly resistant to rotting. It is said to have been VERY valued by Native Americans for making into bows.

However it produces these

DEEPLY CURSED fruits that are huge and inedible. Not poison. They just suck. They're hard, woody and secrete weird latex.

And they produce SO MANY it weighs the whole tree down

Before colonization it was found only in a small patch of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Now they're everywhere. In the Bluegrass region of Kentucky you see them loaded down with fruit all over the place.

HOWEVER we have no idea how it's supposed to spread naturally. No living animal is any good at seed dispersal. It's like the sunfish of trees.

Why, Maclura pomifera. Why are you like this

[futureevilscientist]

Okay, but why are scientists convinced this species’s seeds were dispersed by animals in the first place? Seeing as they seem pretty purposefully inedible, and are conspicuously round and big/massive, maybe their dispersal mechanism is rolling? Granted, they wouldn’t get very far depending on the terrain, but at least the higher than average mass would let them get enough momentum to overcome some bumps.

Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do

tntduo is soooooo unbearable (affectionate)

[ratliker1917]

Honestly I think Americans, specially highly insecure millennials and gen Z-ers, are literally so terrified of ever “being a bad person” and so like fastidiously obsessed with personal morality in absolutely fucking everything that they ever do (even fucking media consumption, Jesus) that there’s a lot of appeal to creating an internet politics that consists basically of “use your marginalized identity to declare yourself above ethical judgement, this way you get to be a good person 100% of the time and never experience your weird guilt complex ever again”

[kizunatallis]

See also weirdos who desperately bend over backwards to prove that their dislike of something (anything applies, but many kinds of media especially) must not just be a matter of taste but of being morally better and trying to make it more noble than it actually is.
