    It’s almost freaky how fast melons and squash grow, truly remarkable. And they’re mostly being built out of light and water like wtf.

    Zuchinni are preposterous. I think they are the result of some kind of Faustian bargain made by some agrarian ancestor. I have like 12 fucking zuchinni on my counter, they’re taking over my life.

    I’ve eaten two loaves of zuchinni bread this week and I eat an entire cucumber every day.

      Actually a lot of biomass for carbon based life came right off the Earth’s atmosphere. Trees are carbon sinks precisely because they suck the carbon dioxide right off the air. Conversely when you exercise you’re literally breathing out those kilos.
