    I was expecting something like "MyPeeSmells" when I scrolled back up. I'm more disappointed than I should be.

      And the first English speaker who saw one went "you know what that reminds me of, apples. Wait, hear me out, apples on a pine tree."

              I would not recommend for people to casually start trimming plantlife in the wild. /s

              Unironically though there might be lots of insects living within that ecosystem that rely on it. If you don't need something for a dish or specific resource, just leave it alone.

                  I work with a team of people from all over the world , and the word “eggplant” came up the other day. They asked me why Americans call an “aubergine” an “eggplant.”

                  So I showed them a photo of an unripe eggplant:

                        What's crazy is that not only is that the same species as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, but practically the entire plant in that photo is edible.

                          If you trimmed the bush back it'd look larger.

                              It's because it looks like a pinecone, which at the time were also called pineapples.

                                Iirc that was because apple was just a generic term for fruit at the time, not any specific type.

                                  Americans really do label things like cave men just saying the most simple words to describe something:

                                  • Eggplant > looks like an egg and is a plant
                                  • Sidewalk > side of road you walk on

                                  I’m all out of example but I’m sure there are more like this and I like it.

                                      Fennel too- I always thought the white part was below the earth, like an onion. But no, the whole fennel sits on the earth, on a tippy root that's underground.
