>Tomatoes and cucumbers are fruits, not vegetables.

>Rhubarb is a vegetable, not a fruit.

>Cactus spines are leaves, but rose thorns are “trichomes”

>Potatoes are not roots, they are an underground stem modified for storing nutrients called a tuber.

>Sweet potatoes are not potatoes, nor are they tubers, they actually are roots modified for storage. They also are not yams. 

>“Bulbs”, such as onions, are leaves modified for storage instead of photosynthesis

>Pretty much every part of a plant has been modified for underground storage.

scientific names for fruit

>The scientific term for melon is “pepo”

>Cucumbers are pepos

>The scientific term for stone fruits are “drupes”

>Coconuts and coffee beans are drupes

>The Scientific term for berry is “berry”

>Strawberries are not berries, but bananas are.

>Juniper berries are not berries, they aren’t even fruits

>The scientific term for “bean” is “legume”

>Peanuts are not nuts, they are hard beans

>Walnuts aren't nuts, they're “trymas”

>pine nuts also aren't nuts, they're seeds

>The scientific term for nut is “nut”

>A pecan is a nut

>Most things with nut in its name aren't actually nuts

>Cashews also aren't nuts, neither me nor my plant anatomy professor had any idea wtf a cashew is.

Big botany says that cashews are drupes, but drupes don't have the pit on the outside like cashews do.

>No one knows wtf a dragon fruit is either.

Did you know Plants are Actually Single Celled Organisms? Plasmodesmata

You read the title right. Plants only have one cell, technically. You may be thinking back to high school biology and wondering how that’s possible! You studied the plant cell! They have cell walls and stuff.

True. But consider this; how are plants supposed to share sugar and water and stuff between their cells when each is…

Cancer is Communism for your Cells

Cancer is basically communism for your cells. Your cells work away their entire lives, being exploited for the evolutionary value of their capital, just so the sperm/egg bourgeoisie can do nothing but laze around in the gonads all day and maybe pass on their genes to the next generation. But do the proletariat ever get to taste the fruits of their own labor and pass on their genes to the next generation? No! They all die out when you die.

But then Oncovirus Marx publishes the Cancerist Manifesto directly into the genomes of the proletariat. The workers of the body rise up and seize the means of reproduction! They evade prosecution by the immune system police and begin dividing without control.

Also they start getting better at dividing and resisting the immune system through cellular evolution. Basically just returning to parasitic single celled organisms. Y'know, like inventing Kalashnikovs and sputnik. Communist science or whatever.

They establish a tumor regime, which mismanages resources resulting in millions of cells starving to death, but they still manage to spread through the whole body. The immune system and doctors get bogged down in self destructive conflicts trying to contain it. Like chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Then the Union of Soviet Cancer Tumors inevitably collapses under its own weight taking the whole body with it in an act of mutually assured destruction.

Which of course means that not having cancer is basically being a fascist dystopia.

Tune in next time for why gonorrhea is anarcho-syndicalism

Stupid, handsome secret agents sneaking into my lair with their impractical sexy black suits and their dumb suave accents and foiling my silly little plans and seducing my female minions and always getting the girl. WHY CAN’T HE GET ME FOR ONCE?

See? Even more evidence that gay and nonbinary people have existed throughout history!

They literally had blahajs!

Turbo is not a Turbo

There is a genus of snails called Turbo. The titular snail Turbo from the 2013 movie Turbo is not a Turbo.

Turbo is called turbo because Turbo is the type genus of Turbinidae, the turban snails, presumably named such because their turbinated shells so strikingly do not resemble turbans. They also resemble turbochargers, but not turbines.

Determining Turbo's true species is quite turbid, but we can say for sure that Turbo is not a Turbo because Turbo is a land snail while Turbo are sea snails. Turbo live under the sea on turbidite sediments and among the turbot fish. Turbo cannot do this, he breathes air, much like that produced by turbeth plants.

Turbo.
