Maple leaves are pretty recognizable. There's a whole entire country that's got one on its flag.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Split the middle. Japanese Maple Tree leaves look almost identical to Marijuana leaves.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Fake news, Canada's not a real country, it's made up, like unicorns, or gypsies.

Maple leaves are pretty recognizable, but if I saw a silhouette of a marijuana leaf next to the silhouette of a maple leaf, I'd probably pick out the marijuana leaf first. I'm not really even a weed user. Might just be me, though.

[-] lettruthout@lemmy.world 97 points 3 months ago

(four leaf) clover have to be in the top five most recognizable too

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Probably more recognizable TBH.

[-] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 74 points 3 months ago

I think Canada would like a word

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I always recognize the Canadian flag because of the iconic marijuana leaf

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 months ago

Legalise Canada

I see it didn’t take long for the anti-Canada lobby to arrive.

They must be big mad still.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 52 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Canada would like to have a word

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Canada: Am I a joke to you?

[-] finley@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

The kids in the hall say yes

[-] texasspacejoey@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Yes. This country certainly is right now

[-] Lemmeenym@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Have you seen South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?

[-] GrumpyBike1020@monero.town 38 points 3 months ago

As much as I wish this were true, even little kids can recognize clover leaf.

If I had to rate recognition I think it would be:

  1. Clover
  2. Fern
  3. Maple
  4. Cannabis
[-] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I feel like oak is also in the top 5. Possibly even higher than cannabis.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 6 points 3 months ago

Depends on where you live. We don't have any oaks where I grew up. I couldn't tell you what their leaves look like

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Individual leaves of clover definitely aren't that recognizable.

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 6 points 3 months ago

The leaf is the set of leaflets.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Ahh yes that's correct. My bad.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy is a pretty memorable silhouette.

[-] ArkhamNightshift@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Shamrocks are pretty recognisable too.

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Pine needles?

Maple leafs

Four leaf covers

Palm fronds?

Pineapple leafs are pretty identifiable

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 11 points 3 months ago

A pineapple leaf on its own could be any kind of long thin leaf though. It's only on a pineapple that they're obvious

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 months ago

Sorry, maple leaf for the win.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Have to say oak myself, at least in the northern hemisphere.

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

Pointy oak, round oak or broad oak?

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 months ago

Palm leaves ?

[-] PierreKanazawa@fedia.io 4 points 3 months ago

Nah, it risks getting mixed up with maple's.

Haven't you seen any Gingko biloba?

[-] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

What a relief.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

What a reefer leaf

[-] WhyDoYouPersist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Any love for the Hong Kong orchid?

[-] Redfox8@mander.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Thanks Bob.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
