    You think lichens are representative off our conceptions about an ‘organism’ being off? My friends, let me introduce you to the weird world of bacteria, where one cell’s waste becomes the triggering signal for a billion cells with completely different DNA to begin acting in concert. Your brain patterns? Yup, partially affected by short chain fatty acids released by bacteria in the gut. That terrible acne you suffered from in high school? Oh boy, more bacteria, and not just on your skin but in your gut and and your skin and in your skin!

    Let’s not even get started on bacterial sex habits either. It would be equivalent to a human randomly mating with a squirrel sometime, and the squirrel suddenly starts washing its hands.

    This is the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard. Like, what is the deal with being queer and fungi, algae, pond scum, lichen, and general herbology?

    There’s a reason why I chose Mossy Feathers

    Every once in a while the sparkling spirit of r/actuallesbians webs its way to me and tickles my nose.

    Come back they coo.

    Reddit is toxic! Come to Lemmy! I beg.

    And then the signal is once again cut short.

    So is “picking up the uhaul” some euphemism I’m too normie to get or is the implication that the everyone at the bar would go home with them?

      Uhauling is/used to be slang for when lesbians move in together so fast that if you’re asleep when they start, it’s done when you wake up.

      As in, they meet at the bar, pick up the Uhaul on the way home, and only after unpacking do they scissor and summon the goddess Hecate. Or whatever it is lesbians do in private.

      No bullshit, my buddy, Bulldog once moved in with a woman she met on shift at the club we bounced at. She got off of work, went to the woman’s place, apparently got frisky and they started moving that night. A week later my friend moved out lol. Not the woman that moved into her place. Apparently, the woman’s leaving of her previous place made her landlord very angry. Since her landlord was her uncle, and she had been paying like 200 a month for a two bedroom apartment in a fairly big city, she couldn’t find anywhere she could afford to live.

      So my buddy crashed with me and my roommate for a week and a few days, then with a coworker/friend for a month, then moved back into her own apartment, all so this woman she’d known for a week, and had fucked maybe three times wouldn’t be homeless.

      Which is both ridiculous and one of the reasons I love that damn woman lol.

    Ngl, if an even moderately attractive person takes me out for lichen discussions and hot chocolate, I’m giving up the booty.
