Also don't forget the still currently unfolding Spy Cops scandal. There is seemingly no line the UK police will not cross in their pursuit of ghoulishness

formerly carnivorous plants

This is so cool! Probably a tough sell for a few years though lol

Yup, exactly! But there a ton of other different species of carnivorous plants that aren't flytraps specifically that grow all over. There are actually varieties in equatorial jungles, and all the way north into Canada too

I think we think it's wild because all the media depictions of them are in cool and interesting places for plot reasons. In my mind they belong with like komodo dragons and birds of paradise or something

The only place on earth that Venus Flytraps grow naturally is within a narrow range along the coast of the southern US. They aren't from the Amazon, or Borneo, or any place exotic like a rain forest. They only grow in a bare sandy patch of geography about an hour north of Myrtle Beach

A lot of people from Star Trek TNG were involved in making it. Once I heard that, it clicked that this is basically a really good extended TNG episode where they don't leave the ship

I wrote a previous comment on this, but pretty much this exact same thing happened, and it caused the Donner Party. The real life guy was somehow even dumber than Zapp Branigan, and later helped establish the famous colony of ex-confederates in Brazil.
