What if i bury myself alive until the tree sprouts? Get some breathing tubes and such.

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Clone tree

Though as the tree's "seed", you would have to remain there forever to keep giving it life

Bourgeoisie. I mean it's impossible for tree to grow humans but this shouldn't make us stop with the first part of that experiment.

is the speedy tree growth a property of the soil, location, or of whatever we plant in there? if i plant a fruit do i get a tree that gives out instant growth seed versions of that fruit?

because if so i'd like to patent 1 day growth date seeds.
