This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This bamboo stalk got snapped almost completely in half during a storm two years ago, and yet it still lives. (lemmy.world)

I can't figure out how it could possibly be drawing enough nutrients to live, and yet there it is. I'd have chopped it up and dragged it away but now I'm impressed and want to see how long it goes on.

MFW I introduce bamboo to my Animal Crossing New Leaf town

Flowers are the real invasive species there. Unchecked those fuckers just go.

If bamboo worked in Animal Crossing the way it does IRL, I'd make sure to never plant any because it would replace weeds faster than weeds appear. You walk out of your house the next day and it'd just be a wall of bamboo. Timmy and Tommy would die of starvation as I am unable to make it to the town center and pay off my debts to them or deliver any fruit.

They nerfed the bamboo in New Horizons. In New Leaf for the 3DS, it's pretty much exactly how you described.
