Wheat dommy mommy r34 please

I figured I had worse things in my history and my personal TSA agent deserved to see this too, but nothing comes up except weird non-porn crypto stuff, a fully-clothed Shadowheart, and a magazine cover with muffins on it.

Don't let this be my legacy.

[-] scops@reddthat.com 34 points 9 months ago

TSA? You googling this shit in the line at airport security?

[-] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 9 months ago

He's googling it in the full body scanner

[-] CJOtheReal@ani.social 5 points 9 months ago

Im 99% shure...

“Let’s get this bread” man the bread got us

[-] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 9 months ago

They've played us for absolute fools!

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 37 points 9 months ago

Not sure you can say the same thing about maize. That plant is a mutant freak considering what we did to it.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 9 months ago

You mean that by controlling humans, maize evolved to a stronger plant?

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

It's not stronger but more versatile. I'm not sure you call something that can't reproduce without human intervention stronger. The stalk is definitely stronger than the original teosinte plant, that trait was selected over time for bean support.

So it sacrificed independence for symbiosis to assure a robust position in the ecology. The strains of escherichia coli in our gut depend on us to survive, but man, what a crib!

Particularly in the US most people are literally made of corn. Most foods have corn additives, the beef we eat is primarily fed corn before being slaughtered. On a molecular level we're corn.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months ago

The corn won. We are corn.

It was a rough early relationship. Early staples were not conducive to agriculture. Generations of selective breeding and grafting gave us better plants for crops. We both made the relationship work for mutual benefit.

Hallucinogenics were pretty easy to cultivate though and when you get the itch.. (I mean, probably)

[-] youRFate@feddit.de 16 points 9 months ago

Someone read some Yuval Noah Harari it seems.

[-] BeefPiano@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

I keep thinking about his “there’s no point in invading lands anymore now, we are now a mostly peaceful world” thing as I read about Ukraine and Palestine

[-] _hovi_@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Keyword "mostly" I guess

[-] weebkent@ani.social 4 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure i remember Harari mentioning his country Israel "not getting the memo" or something to that effect with the war thing. Double checked the book real quick and he does mention that conflict could arise in some of these countries despite us breaking the law of the jungle (conflict being natural and inevitable).

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.one 15 points 9 months ago

I see someone has been reading Sapiens.

[-] Adori@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Gud book, getting the same vibe rn by Life and death of great American cities by Jane jacobs

Depending on what species of overlord contacted your tribe first.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Instructions unclear, became overlord.

[-] KepBen@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

No it was all for the beer. Beer domesticated us.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Either way I blame yeast

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 7 points 9 months ago

Define domensticated... In your usage. Please.

[-] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago

Modified the behavioral patterns, biological features, or both, of a species in a way that creates a new symbiotic relationship.

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

Modified how? If it is modified by any influence at all, I think that is too broad, it would include all symbiotic relationships.

[-] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 months ago

We domesticated ourselves.
