if you ask me, mushrooms are a bullshit double standard. THEY get to show their genitals to passing hikers in the state park, but when I do it, suddenly everyone gets real prudish? What’s THAT about?

I don't want my genitals cut off and eaten, don't know about you

[-] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 32 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If you don't want people to eat your genitals, have you considered filling them with deadly alkaloids and neurotoxins? Alternatively, just make your genitals look deeply diseased and likely to kill anyone who breathes near them? These methods seem to work pretty well for most mushrooms.

If you're absolutely determined to make sure that no one eats your genitals, and you don't want to learn from the mushrooms, I would recommend registering as a Republican (or your local fascist party, as the case may be)

My problem is that I only want striped tree squirrels to munch on my junk. Any suggestions?

My good person, its just hoomans vs the rest. You not human? Show them genitals. You human? You gonna need a specific type of park to have dem genitals out.

You and me pretending to be individuals

The universe

In the way humanity can study the structure of the brain despite being inside one, consciousness is just the means by which the Universe discovers itself. Or something, I don’t know, I’m high.

I believe this is a depiction of Diglett, not Ditto.

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

I think this is Diglett's older sibling, Digcinqo.

And they are holding hands with tree roots

Can different species of mushroom be fruits of the same mycelium?

[-] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

Speciation of fungi in the first place makes a mockery of our futile, hubristic attempts at taxonomy. Fungus spits on the petty distinctions made by man.

[-] xav@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago

Mmh. Mushrooms don't really show their fingers. You know, the things you see and eat, that's their private parts.

[-] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

I wouldn't call those parts private if they're just flaunting them all over the place for the world to see. They're clearly very public parts.

[-] m0darn@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Pub(l)ic parts then

[-] fedditter@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

You just watched a Youtube Video and now you think you are allowed to post a meme?

[-] Burghler@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 months ago

Yes that's how this all works

[-] Zorsith 8 points 3 months ago

Clearly they didn't watch the video, smh...
