are there people who dont know that flowers turn into seeds (which in the case of fruit, the fruit itself contains the seeds)
Yes.
There are a shocking number of people out there who are so far removed from touching grass that they literally have no idea about this kind of stuff. People who think a factory made the fruit they see on grocery store shelves.
Some people are underprivileged and grow up in inner city neighborhoods where they have no access to reliable transportation to wilderness areas or even urban greenspace. It's not always a "touch grass" situation.
Me, I grew up eating dirt and berries that I was pretty sure weren't poisonous. I didn't believe in washing my hands too much because I thought it would weaken my immune system.
The thing is, being familiar with nature didn't help me navigate social situations. Someone who grew up in a city and has never seen a real forest is probably wayyy better adjusted and socially-integrated than I'll ever be...
You're telling me berry hens aren't a thing? Next you're gonna tell me some bullshit like chocolate milk doesn't come from brown cows.
Wait....wut...???
You should have said “how now?”
Sup fam?
I’ll have you know that my friend at the ACME chocolate milk factory, Willie, swore to me that only brown cows can be used for production. He swore this over a stack of Spider-Man comics, so this is convincing and compelling evidence. Please retract your assertion good sir!!!
Touching grass makes a botanist?
Being around plants will help you understand plants better, yes. It won't make you a botanist ... but it doesn't take a botanist to tell that buds become flowers and then become berries.
Look man, I don't know what to tell you. I tried growing plants, and feeding them Brawndo. It's not fault stupid plants don't want to stupid grow! I fed them electrolites and everything. Plants growing on their own is all a conspiracy. Factories grow plants. Everyone knows that!
I know how fruit/most plants work but I've never seen the stages of this particular berry laid out this way. Thought it was cool looking...
You forgot the step where it overtakes your yard and life.
Them? Are there untame breeds? Or is ours just self-domesticated?
Himalayan Blackberry. An invasive for sure. Love the berry, but hate the plant as they spread very aggressively.
TIL, and it's 5 AM.
Well, good morning and have an excellent day!
Night, you meant.
Ah, you had an excellent day then! Good! Get some sleep!
Well, thanks! A nice day to you too!
