Took me a second but it's plasma.

Plasm is a noun that can mean plasma, germplasm, or a formative material.

Guess it’s both? (Merriam-Webster)

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I wonder if it's a regional thing.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

Definitely, often from Vermont or Canada ;)

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

I'm from Canada and have never heard or seen plasm.

Today I realize Canadian are tree vampires.

I think it’s a “being unnecessarily technical/obtuse as a joke” thing: plasma, as in “blood plasma” - thus, tree blood plasma ~= maple syrup

... yes plasma with an 'a'. Not plasm on the card.
