      I studied biology and one thing I like about ferns is that they have these “dots” under their “leaves” that once mature drops a powder of spores that creates new ferns… Don’t ask me why I like it, I just do. I find it simple and to the point. You can simply leave a pot with earth under a fern and then you will find a baby developing there. Just like magic, and very elegant.

            I just spent 20 minutes trying to put anime eyes PNG on Kevin James but the internet is dead and you can no longer do that for free. You’re just going to have to imagine it based on the context

            Wait here we go, this is the best I got. Fuck this gay earth

      Not a botanist, but their tadpoles swim. Plants without this feature will relocate the sperm themselves.

      e: As a result of learning this, I also learned that molluscs, arthropods, and vertebrates all evolved brains independently, and it’s actually normal for molluscs to have distributed brains rather than it being a neat quirk of a few examples. Arthropod brains are also more or less distributed depending on their specific needs.
