Of course this gets a lot more grim when you realise the grass had to be sliced to put under the microscope.
So they sliced a smiling organism and captured the expression at the moment of death.
I know I'm supposed to be strong, but I'm shedding tears. π’
Grass, famously, does not die when it's cut. In fact to some degree, grass benefits from being grazed on, as grazers in a meadow will eat everything - leaving grass that is ready to grow back quickly, and severely harmed weeds and shrubs that will either die or be significantly set back while the grass quickly overshadows it.
True, the plant as a whole doesn't die.
But this particular slice of grass on the microscope slide?
Dead.
I suppose, but only about as dead as a sliced off arm, I think? And that plant gets to regrow that arm!
Ooh, don't make me link to That One CGP Grey/Kurtzgesagt Thing. Well I might as well do it. Existential Crisis One! Existential Crisis Two!
And that severed arm is giving you the thumbs-up gesture.
I'm really sorry I should have put a NSFL tag on it
Scrub Daddy!
Can relate!β€οΈ
We were never meant to see this, the devs just added it to amuse themselves.
Haha yep
Looks like dicks who are about to cum a Smiley.
Must ecstatic at the moment, itβs absolutely torrential here
This brings me back.
I got this image from a lecture about Marram grass, I placed it on Reddit, and every now and then it gets reposted.
glad to see it here
RIP my banned Reddit account.
Crazy how often i see a comment like this on lemmy. Just reinforces that everyone who made reddit what it was has jumped ship.
after Reddit I tried mastodon. didn't manage to get into it, too different from what I'm used to
You'll have to migrate once more since lemm.ee is shutting down :/

Nothing to do with rain. But it definitely does look cheerful
