Installing a bunch of lil raised garden beds and just sprinkling them with a bunch of packs of wild flowers last year was the best thing I ever did... wish I had started years ago! New flowers kept popping up into November (!!!) and the bees and humming birds loved it! Expanding on this this year for sure. 🐝🐦😎🐝🦜

Where I live, my yard gets 10x more precipitation than I could possibly ever use, but I still want to do this. (with local stuff of course) I don't care if I can easily water a lawn - lawns are fucking stupid regardless.

A "nice lush green lawn" is the absolute epitome of 1950s-stick-up-the-ass-absurd.

Sure it’s not the best example. My point is that most Irish people don’t follow football, so it’s strange to pick that as a cultural reference.

I think I just got a bit tilted because there’s a lot of dumb irish stereotyping in the thread which, as an actual Irish person, gets very tiring.

I think that the difference is Americans for the most part don't give a shit about Brazil sports and people in Ireland do legitimately like Liverpool due to the large population of Irish people that live there. If there were a ton of Americans in Brazil, I'm sure that Brazilian sports would be more popular in the US.

My mind boggles at how long this letter took to be delivered. Like, 2016-2023 is longer than most human lives.

Who screwed the pooch here?

Doesn't matter if they are allowed to wonder or not. The amount of food they need will still need to be grown. Farming is take up a large chunk of water and if you know about basic food chain efficiency the higher up you are in good chain more energy and indirectly water is being consumed per unit of nutrition.

I understand. But it’s just a weird thing to say. Imagine the article was about someone waking up with an American accent and someone said “just give them a bottle of bud light and put on a Brazil game and they’ll be cured”. Just because the US support Brazil the most in the World Cup (when the US aren’t in).
