Maple leaves are pretty recognizable. There's a whole entire country that's got one on its flag.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Fake news, Canada's not a real country, it's made up, like unicorns, or gypsies.

Split the middle. Japanese Maple Tree leaves look almost identical to Marijuana leaves.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Maple leaves are pretty recognizable, but if I saw a silhouette of a marijuana leaf next to the silhouette of a maple leaf, I'd probably pick out the marijuana leaf first. I'm not really even a weed user. Might just be me, though.

[-] lettruthout@lemmy.world 97 points 5 months ago

(four leaf) clover have to be in the top five most recognizable too

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Probably more recognizable TBH.

[-] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 74 points 5 months ago

I think Canada would like a word

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 26 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I always recognize the Canadian flag because of the iconic marijuana leaf

I see it didn’t take long for the anti-Canada lobby to arrive.

They must be big mad still.

Canada would like to have a word

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Canada: Am I a joke to you?

[-] finley@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

The kids in the hall say yes

[-] texasspacejoey@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Yes. This country certainly is right now

[-] Lemmeenym@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Have you seen South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?

[-] GrumpyBike1020@monero.town 38 points 5 months ago

As much as I wish this were true, even little kids can recognize clover leaf.

If I had to rate recognition I think it would be:

  1. Clover
  2. Fern
  3. Maple
  4. Cannabis
[-] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

I feel like oak is also in the top 5. Possibly even higher than cannabis.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 6 points 5 months ago

Depends on where you live. We don't have any oaks where I grew up. I couldn't tell you what their leaves look like

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Individual leaves of clover definitely aren't that recognizable.

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 6 points 5 months ago

The leaf is the set of leaflets.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Ahh yes that's correct. My bad.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy is a pretty memorable silhouette.

[-] ArkhamNightshift@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Shamrocks are pretty recognisable too.

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Pine needles?

Maple leafs

Four leaf covers

Palm fronds?

Pineapple leafs are pretty identifiable

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 11 points 5 months ago

A pineapple leaf on its own could be any kind of long thin leaf though. It's only on a pineapple that they're obvious

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 months ago

Sorry, maple leaf for the win.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Have to say oak myself, at least in the northern hemisphere.

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago

Pointy oak, round oak or broad oak?

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 months ago

Palm leaves ?

[-] PierreKanazawa@fedia.io 4 points 5 months ago

Nah, it risks getting mixed up with maple's.

Haven't you seen any Gingko biloba?

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago
[-] PierreKanazawa@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago

I think they are like butterfly wings. No other leaves looks like that.

[-] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago
[-] DarkDarkHouse 2 points 5 months ago

What a reefer leaf

[-] WhyDoYouPersist@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Any love for the Hong Kong orchid?

[-] Redfox8@mander.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

Thanks Bob.

Showerthoughts

30247 readers
517 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
