dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

These other commenters are just saying "it's algae" but the thing about that is that taxonomy is a fuck: brown algae such as kelp are classified in kingdom Chromista, so they are not plants by any taxonomic definition; however green and red algae such as nori^[Nori as I understand it is a culinary term usually referring to red algae but sometimes referring to green algae.] are on the other hand both in Archaeplastida, or kingdom Plantae sensu lato. Green algae are more specifically in Viridiplantae, or kingdom Plantae sensu stricto — but neither green nor red algae are in Embryophyta, which is kingdom Plantae sensu strictissimo.

So basically, depending on how you define plant, either some seaweed is plants, or no seaweed is plants. At least as far as I understand it.
