Humans are an unfortunate by-product of the fungus' colonisation of the planet. As soon as they've tricked us into heating the planet enough to melt the poles, their conquest will be complete.

This makes me think of Daniel Quinn's Ishmael... is there a community for that?

Omni-Man's red eyes make him look blazed, which fits what he's saying pretty well. "Dad, what the hell are you talking about?"

Humans dont invent anything, they discover it.

Once you put enough things together so the parts do other things, I think it's reasonable to call it inventing.

Well, who's living in the house? Certainly not the wheat.

You, a farmer, living in a thatched roof mud hut just alongside the field and spending 90% of your day - sun up to sun down - digging irrigation ditches, spreading fertilizer, and hauling around buckets of seed.

Me, a wheat grass, cozily settled into freshly irrigated mud, reaching towards the sun with my long fronds, spreading my seed between all my neighbors, and never having to worry about competitors because this dipshit ape-thing weeds the area for me every day in hopes of one day gargling my fermented plant-jizz until he blacks out.

I wonder what kind of cats rich people tend to go for. Like, say, it's some kind of black long haired green eyed mini cat. It'll receive better healthcare than most humans on earth.
