Have I lost track of what memes are?

Oh you mean a discretized, and spreadable idea, that propagate through populations? Yeah lost have lost the plot and think it just means like reaction gifs or wojaks.

Nah, just a low effort shitpost, move on with your day.

If you look at things closely they look different than they do far away.

Very insightful.

couldn't find a grainier comparison pic just to make sure that it's impossible to actually see any difference, in addition to the distance difference?

That's pretty much what I expected. I was basically imagining the plains biome in Minecraft.

[-] esadatari@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

i mean it looks like that in some parts for about a month as wild flowers come in, but on the whole, yep.

[-] Ater@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

It's nearly September and my native prairie still has flowers.

[-] some_guy@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

So… the same thing?

Huh.

Left is either a mountain meadow or springtime on the Great Plains of the United States. Right is Summer in most "High Plains" areas.

It's actually a planted wildflower garden, with the intent of 'prairie restoration'

I talk about it more here: https://slrpnk.net/comment/2171157

The bleak reality of prairie dogs me constantly.

In English, it specifically references the terrain of the Mississippi basin.

In French it's a more general term. English borrowed the term specifically because the French had claimed the area occasionally known as the American Prairie as their territory.

Thanks for the clarification, I see I've once again accidentally revealed my frenchness...

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net -3 points 1 year ago

No, native refers to flora or fauna that was not introduced by humans.

And you think that changes the meme or my statement, how?

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 year ago

It doesn't change the meme, but it is a clarification on your statement.

Native veg is not specific to the Mississippi basin. There are native spp. In Alaska for instance.

On top of that, native spp. Are usually specific to one or a small number of ecosystems that support spp's niche

I think they're talking about the word prarie, my guy.
