Deleted four accounts of 3-11 years. Yup. Bye. I ain't waiting around to see reddit turn into "myspace after tom"

I deleted one 11 year account and 3 three year accounts. The amount of absolute repeat garbage bots on all my homepage, and throughout popular was so bad, it just became Facebook, but angrier.

An average orca weights 6600 to 8800 pounds. Using 7700 pounds as the weight of our orca to bananafy, at 3 bananas per pound = 23,100 bananas per orca.

So the asteroid is 1,940,400 bananas.

Ducks and witches are the same weight.

Weirdest plant I own, Drosera Binata (which is carnivorous), I have two and a half Nepenthes (tropical pitcher plants, wife has one I take care of), some common "Spoon Sundew" Drosera Spatulata, a couple of Pinguiculas, and a Utricularia, those are my carnivorous ones. They are definitely the weirder ones, the rest are commonplace collector basics (begonia, orchid, calatheas, pothos, etc.).

I have a shot of my U. Reniformis and D. Binata, https://lemmy.world/post/79348 I don't know if that will work - first week here.

Thanks for the heads up! Kbin was still wonky when I tried to get on it earlier, so I've been letting it be until the reddit exodus.

Currently babying the crap out of a small pile of carnivorous plants, watching over a random array of succulents, pothos, and other household favorites. I also am the "caretaker" of the wife's small pile of plants, which are more cactus and spices.

I'm terrified of getting into orchids, and heavier into begonias because of how hard I got into carnivores. I have one of each that are doing well.

I've also got a maranta and calathea that are doing pretty well (today), and a begonia that is now on speaking terms with me after I didn't make its days any easier. We're learning together. I'm learning how to take care of her, and she's learning that I'm an idiot.

Niche stuff. I mostly came to reddit for discovering interesting/weird/rare plants and the best way to care for them. Googling has become absolute dogshit with obviously generated articles that are just parroting the same information (which for niche plants, can be false, speculation, and even harmful).

I'm in a couple of Discord communities (which have jumped up in activity in the last couple of days), but those communities are a bit harder to find that four year old post about "what does this type of growth mean", or something similar.

I also used reddit for tracking technology issues in much the same way - very specific, hard to locate issues that only a few people might be experiencing and talking about in a searchable way. Everything from video games, to work related technologies.

Man, we’ll use any measurement system to avoid using metric…

It requires a little bit of zeroing in, but after getting a proper light, for a Drosera Binata all you have to do is keep it in a tray of standing water, either distilled or reverse osmosis (you can use rain water, but I don't have a reliable way of collecting it at the moment).

The skull container has a Utricularia Reniformis - that one gets a little trickier and requires a little bit more of paying attention, but same deal essentially. You tend to let that one dry out a bit more between watering. This is my first Utricularia, and it hasn't flowered yet, but it's giving me tons of new growth every time I look... hopefully soon!

Reindeer and Caribou are also the same animal.

A woodchuck and groundhog are the same animal. I learned this yesterday, so you get to learn it today.
