Trees live over ground and use the below-ground parts as a straw. Is this Showerthoughts now?

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 24 points 2 years ago

Trees live half under ground and half over the ground, using their appendages to live.

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

I've never seen a tree do a kick flip or eat ice cream, so I can't agree that they're living.

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

You’ve never seen me do this either, is this why I feel dead inside after work each day?

Humans live under their skin and just use their eyes as a periscope

Ok snorkel nose

Once I recorded the wind in the trees in spring and played it back later 600 times slower. It sounded like an orgy porn. I can never walk in the woods again.

Don't google what pollen is.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 14 points 2 years ago

Going for a walk in pollen season?

Bukkake time!

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wait, why bukkake? What am I missing?

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Please post.

Leaves are basically a stomach and lungs combined into one.

[-] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

bay leaves make everything haggis

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

lol, you're right. but what are the roots then? the mouth?

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

The ass. Nutrients are absorbed in the roots and waste products are pushed out.

Trees are a thin skin wrapped around a column of their own dead flesh

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago

But they grow from the inside

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I don't think that means the exact center. Just underneath the bark is also the inside.

[-] Maultasche@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago

Sounds more like mushrooms.

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Mushrooms are technically the fruit of the plant. It'd be more like they live underground and stick their junk in the air to jizz on the wind.

[-] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

not what I would call a fungi

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Speak for yourself.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Except what mushrooms stick out above the ground are not snorkels.

[-] shroomato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You can't use your as a snorkel? Amateurs!
