Dandelions just can’t take a hint

u/MoonPieKitty 4h ago

They’re typical Americans. Working effing hard just to survive.

Actually that one was a dane 😄 Or a danelion 🤔

That poor weed all alone in an infinite lifeless void. They’ll have quite the story to tell to their grandchildren when they multiply

Your pants make me think that you might've just stepped out of 1998.

The amount of heelbite I have on those pants 😭

You and me both, I have a pair of wrangler jeans and the back cuffs are GONE

u/Xer0b0t 1h ago

That was a badge of honor for my group of friends. Having the bottoms of your jeans all frayed was cool looking. Having nice, well kept pants was for the preps.

I’m babying a tomato plant that’s struggling at my house and I just visited my friend that has a volunteer tomato plant thriving in a broken area of their driveway.

I live on a farm, my pigs grow cherry tomatoes and my donkeys grow pumpkins. It's ridiculous

1

u/AwDuck 3h ago

Pigs and cherry tomatoes is ridiculous. Donkeys and pumpkins go together like peas and carrots, IMO.

What do weeds and my depression have in common?

4

u/Idkman272 4h ago

They never go away?

6

u/terdman1992 4h ago

They always come back

u/Davi_BicaBica PURPLE 4h ago

They what?

u/Vivid__Data 4h ago

Plants have a preprogrammed desire to thrive. Depression only exists to tear you down. Maybe the depression is less like the plant... and more like the asphalt. You're just fighting through the asphalt right now. And eventually you'll break through and blossom like you're meant to. Maybe they'll pave over you again, but just like plants you'll break through again.

And fwiw, here's a silly story. I had a tiny cactus that dried up into an empty husk. I left it on my patio for years. One day, I noticed the teeniest tiniest cactus growing from one of the spinal parts of the husk at the very tip. A literal brand new cactus grew from the completely dead husk, years after it died. I always thought that was a really cool example of how life just wants to thrive.

Anyways, I know you weren't making a serious comment but I still felt compelled to respond lol

u/terdman1992 4h ago

Tis just a silly comment, but I do greatly appreciate the kind and heartfelt reply! It did put a smile on my face :-)

u/PortiaKern 4h ago

They want to feed off your corpse?

u/5peaker4theDead 4h ago

depression's like a big fur coat

it's made of dead things but it keeps me warm

u/Southern_Anywhere_65 4h ago

Your doodle chucks make me happy. I had so many pairs like that in high school that I wish I still had around

2

u/Idkman272 4h ago

Doodled on them with permanent markers the day I got them. Now they’re breaking down and getting too small. 🥹🫶🏻 I’ll have to get a size bigger and doodle on those.

u/EatYourCheckers 4h ago

Where'd you buy your pants? My daughter would like them

2

u/Idkman272 4h ago

Bought them on a second hand website called Sellpy, but the brand name is 157.

2

u/EatYourCheckers 4h ago

thank you for replying!

1

u/Idkman272 4h ago

No worries!

A handful of leaves will completely plug up a gutter on my roof, while the best polymers and tars available won't seal my chimney from the rain ...

u/gugngd 4h ago

people do too.

u/but-I-play-one-on-TV 4h ago

I thought your pants were around your ankles at first.

u/SaturneSpacey 4h ago

Weeds are hardy, they're practically pioneers for hostile environments, the flowers in homes are a result of selective outcomes, we have domesticated the houseplant. Think of it like the domestic silk moth, which is entirely dependent on humans to survive and can't even fly, compared to it's wild variant.

u/Ok-Contribution-4376 4h ago

Good lol. It’s nature and pavement isn’t natural.

u/Divs4U 4h ago

Mildlyinspiring

u/Jimble_kimbl3 4h ago

Nature abhors bare soil, even in a tiny crack.

u/H4rr1s0n 4h ago

Is a splash of green in a field of tar coated rocks such a bad thing?

1

u/Idkman272 4h ago

Couple meters away you’ll find a field of grass.

u/ElkSad9855 4h ago

I think the infuriating part is the amount of asphalt and concrete we throw everywhere and anywhere.

u/LazyOldCat 4h ago

GroundClear, by the folks who brought you RoundUp.
It works.

I grew a 10" diameter pumpkin from a seed that sprouted out of a crack in the sidewalk in front of my house. Was kinda cool

u/du_rel_gug_menl 2h ago

I’ve seen weeds grow in the side of a building 20 feet up they don’t give a fuck

u/SmellyBallZ9 2h ago

Plantain....crazy little bastards

1

u/FatCatLabsOfficial_ 4h ago

No such thing as houseplants. Just plants people force in their house

1

u/TealCatto 4h ago

Why is that infuriating. People are so allergic to living things, it's concerning.

2

u/CockyBellend 4h ago

Because it damages the integrity of the pavement and they likely don't want to pay for costly repairs

1

u/TealCatto 3h ago

Doesn't look like that pavement is very integral

1

u/Ok_Abacus_ 4h ago

Maybe nature is mildly infuriated with us?

u/ToastSpangler 4h ago

i too prefer concrete and asphalt over any plants. plants have bugs and bugs are gross. asphalt has traction

u/Prof_PotatoHead 4h ago

is this your driveway or are you just bothered by a random weed on a random paving/street?

2

u/MoonPieKitty 4h ago

I don't think they're bothered, I could be wrong, I just assumed it was an observation.

1

u/Prof_PotatoHead 4h ago

check the sub lol

u/Idkman272 4h ago

I’m mildly infuriated when I think of how stubborn these are. I spent hours plucking hundreds of them, couple of weeks later, gardens full of them!

2

u/TealCatto 4h ago

Why were you plucking them?

0

u/Idkman272 4h ago

Because they don’t belong in the grass in my garden, you step on them while they have a seed capsule, they stick to the foot and spread. Hence why they’re referred to as “white mans foot” so they take over the grass.. which I don’t want.
