Right?? They’re so cool, and I can see the uncanny vibe too. I never imagined that such a plant would exist but I’m so happy to have found them.

Lowkey, these plants have inspired me to buy a little “Pokédex” notebook where, as I come across cool plants I can sketch them on one side of the page and write down fun little facts about them on the other page. Make my own little encyclopedia!

WOA- that's what they make tequila with?
yet another thing I've learnt about agaves. They're so damn cool.

they look so spiky too, like when their death bloom hasn't set in yet.
always cool to hear about what role different plants play in different medicines.

For sure! I also didn’t know what a death bloom was, very interestic evolutionary adaptation from plants

right? Death bloom is such a cool concept and such a badass name...
its funny cause you have botanists giving names like "Death Bloom", but then you have horny ass mathematicians naming some problem they stumbled upon - "kissing number problem" lmao

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_number

it is an interesting problem though

(this comparision is just for a joke)

I’d like to argue that botanists and biologists are hornier in general with stuff like the “kissing fish”, and a whole genus of bird being named “tit”

Great tit, Elegant tit, Sombre tit
(All real animals btw)

Not even mentioning the other name for canola. (Though that is due to the word coming from Latin but still odd and funny)

lmao seems like all scientists have those moments...they're all human after all.

I sometimes forget that they were all kids once, so ofc they all have that human element within them where sometimes they just wanna have fun and they'll name a bird tit...

i imagine the bird gets made fun of in animal kingdom gatherings, tits probably introduce themselves as john or something lmao

Its because scientists, in general, are so damn smart and are at the forefront of some really important discoveries, that's why I sometimes forget they're even human.

One of my favorite moments that serve as a reminder of scientists just being human is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEhYJEQmExE

in the video marine biologists just make fun of a squid they found because it had big googly eyes lmao
that's so cute

People losing their cool because of an absurd moment mid documentaries are the best.

I love that clip where they are documenting a rare bird and it starts humping one of the guys because he has the same shade of shirt as the bird’s feathers and the other one goes:

“You’re being shagged by a rare parrot, unbelievable”
Hilarious ^_^
