Promotional Video about Naruto's birthday... opinion 🦊🍥🙄💕
youtube
Ok, on the occasion of our favorite idiot's birthday SP created a promotional video. Now, seeing the edit I want to understand one thing: the first is surely why all the characters who believed and supported Naruto in his dream are mentioned except Sakura? It's not even about romance, dammit! the ships have already been decided but this useless war still exists between them... what's the point? Together with Tsunade Sakura was the only woman to believe in him and in his dream of becoming Hokage, this is called disrespect towards the character and the bond he had with the MC
Remember Sakura and her support towards Naruto:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For me they should have also included the POAL scene if we have to be honest because it is a fundamental phase of Naruto's story but that's okay, I can move on from it
Second thing: if it is a video of Naruto and his path why do they put the scene of Hinata during the battle against Pain (which among other things Naruto himself ignores in the following chapters but ok, let's draw a veil of mercy) and the scene in which the two hold hands during the war in front of Neji's corpse? I could understand if it was a video aimed at her and her exploits but this is about Naruto not Hinata. What the hell does Hinata have to do with Naruto's story? His deepest bonds are Iruka and team 7 not a woman he barely knows and has interacted with 3 times. I don't hate Hinata but guys, we're talking about realism here! I'm sorry but this video was literally created for ships not to really remember Naruto. I'm happy that Japanese and Chinese fans preferred to create videos on their own and leave this "shit" (sorry for the French but this has now become Naruto, a pile of rubble and fanservice). I was expecting a beautiful and profound video, which would make me remember even today why I totally love this anime and it has marked my life so much and instead... it only reminded me why I distanced myself from it. Anyway happy birthday Naruto, my love, my life, the one and only Naruto Uzumaki dattebayo 🍥🦊💕💕

Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grass is usually pigmented with the colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants.
The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style.
The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.
Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut.
Grasses are an important food for many animals, like deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion). Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves). Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow.
People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer.
Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets. n English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else." "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others.
Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana) The Grass type (Japanese: くさタイプ Grass type) is one of the eighteen types. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Grass-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed Starting in Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are immune to powder and spore moves and Effect Spore.Grass types are tied with Rock in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five. Since Generation I, a particular asset of Grass types is being the only type that is immune to Leech Seed. As of Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to powder and spore moves, such as Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. Additionally, Grass Pokémon are the only ones affected by Rototiller and Flower Shield. Those moves raise both attack stats or the physical Defense stat, respectively, when used. Forest's Curse adds the Grass type to the target's types. Grass-type attacks are resisted by seven types, so they're tied with Bug as the most resisted type. Those resistant types are best covered by Rock and Ground. As of Generation VI, Dark and Ghost have neutral matchups against every type that resists Grass. When Grassy Terrain is in the effect, the power of Grass-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to Generation VIII) if the user is on the ground.
Contest properties In contests, Grass-type moves are typically Clever moves, but can also be any of the other four contest conditions. As of Generation VIII, there are 112 Grass-type Pokémon or 12.27% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Grass-type in at least one of their forms), making it the third most common type after Normal and before Flying.
A Pokémon with Protean or Libero will become a Grass-type Pokémon if it uses a Grass-type move. A Pokémon with Color Change, Imposter, Mimicry, RKS System, or Multitype will become a Grass-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Grass-type move, is sent out against a Grass-type opponent, if the terrain is grassy, if it is holding a Grass Memory, or if it is holding a Meadow Plate or Grassium Z. Since Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to Effect Spore; Only Grass-type Pokémon can have these Abilities. This does not include signature Abilities.Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Grass generally adopts all Bug-type Pokémon under its typing. It also adopted Poison-type Pokémon prior to the Diamond & Pearl set, after which they were moved to Psychic. Similar to the games, Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fire and resist Water.
Grass-type Pokémon are strong against Fighting and Water Pokémon, whilst Metal Pokémon resisted it until the EX Power Keepers expansion set. Generation V introduced the most Grass-type Pokémon of any generation, with 21 (including Rotom's Mow form), and Generation VI introduced the fewest Grass-type Pokémon, with nine. Generation I introduced the most Grass-type moves of any generation, with 10, and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type moves, with three.
The Grass type and/or Pokémon of the type have been referred to using the term "plant" instead on some occasions: In the English Generation I games, the Gym guide in Cerulean Gym refers to Pokémon of the Grass type as "plant Pokémon". In the English versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, he instead mentions "Grass-type Pokémon". In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he mentions the Grass type itself, calling it the "Plant type" (Japanese: しょくぶつタイプ). Another reference to "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) is made by Professor Oak in the Japanese Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, and international Pokémon Red and Blue, classifying Bulbasaur as such when the player is about to choose it as their starter. This is also the case in the Japanese versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; in contrast, he calls it the "grass Pokémon" in the English versions. This same reference is also used in the first episode of Pokémon Origins.
In multiple languages, such as French and German, the Grass type is translated as the Plant type. The Turkish dub of the anime occasionally refers to "Grass type" as "Plant type". The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stones, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the Leaf Stone, Sun Stone, Water Stone, and Shiny Stone.The Grass type is the only type to have more than one HP-draining move, having five of them. Grass-type attacks deal doubly super-effective damage to the most Pokémon of all types. Grass-type attacks are super effective against the three types that Fire types are weak to. Fire is the only type that hasn't been paired with Grass. In Tree's a Crowd, Brock states that Grass-type Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass types are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage.
Now that you have read this much about grass, maybe you should go and touch some...

Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).
CONCLUSION: Touch some grass. ❤
ok ok, jokes aside, its not that hard to be nice to other ppl who send in their asks. we are aware that not everyone likes rp asks which is why they are tagged appropriately, dont like it, dont read it. simple. if you have the courage, get off of anon mode. clearly in the rules it states to be nice to everyone, if you are not going to follow our rules purposefully (not accidentally, pretty obv that you said it intentionally) dont interact 🖤

Researchers shine a light on iridescent leaves
Researchers shine a light on iridescent leaves  https://ift.tt/Ki4PnAO All leaves are green. Or are they? Lundquist et al recently surveyed a diversity of plant species and found at least 130 have iridescent blue leaves, making them more common than you might think. These ‘living jewels’, widely distributed in the dark understories of tropical rainforests, have photonic crystals in their leaves that produce intense, vivid metallic blue hues.  Most of the visual world is coloured by pigments – reds, yellows, blues and greens — that are produced by molecules reflecting back colour. For example, chlorophyll is the pigment that makes leaves appear green. But, not all biological colours are pigment-based. Some colours, called structural colours, arise when the shape of an animal or plant cell can bend incident light to create iridescence. The dazzling colours we see on bird feathers and on the backs of beetles and butterflies are examples of structural colours in animals. In plants, structural colours are found in flowers, fruits and even leaves, but until now it has been difficult to study its prevalence across plant genera. As Lundquist et al report: “Most species are not in cultivation and are widely distributed across the tropics, often as narrow endemics restricted to inaccessible locations such as the more remote Venezuelan tepuis.”  Examples of leaves that appear blue thanks to structural colour. Lundquist et al. 2024. To overcome this obstacle, and perform the first broad investigation of photonic structure in leaves, Lundquist et al gathered living specimens from Brunei as well as dried material from the herbarium at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in the United Kingdom. They specifically hunted for nanostructures called helicoidal cell wall layers that are made up of cellulose molecules arranged in a helical screw shape. These helicoidal structures are common in leaf epidermis and can act as photonic crystals to produce structural colour.   Herbariums, with their brown, dry leaf samples, may not seem like the most logical place to study plant colour, but helicoidal layers, if present, stay intact during the drying process and their reflectance can be studied after re-hydration with water overnight. Lundquist et al. measured whether the samples transmit either left- or right-handed circularly polarized light and observed helicoidal structures using electron microscopy.   To their surprise, they could detect the helicoidal structures in 20 genera and they could recover the colour recorded when the herbarium sample was first collected: “The ability of herbarium specimens to recover structural colour upon hydration was not anticipated prior to this study … yet most of the leaf samples investigated here regained the approximate leaf colours stated on the herbarium labels.”  Most of the species reflected blue light, but green and/or violet light was also common. Lundquist et al. predominantly found the helicoidal structures in ferns and monocots (Orchidaceae family and three Poales families, Cyperaceae, Eriocaulaceae and Rapateaceae). Additionally, based on the phylogeny of these species, Lundquist et al. determined that helicoidal structures have evolved at least 38 times, in a remarkable example of convergent evolution. Lundquist et al. speculate that these structures may have an adaptive benefit for photoprotection and/or minimizing herbivory by confusing insect predators.  READ THE ARTICLE Lundquist, C.R., Rudall, P.J., Sukri, R.S., Conejero, M., Smith, A., Lopez-Garcia, M., Vignolini, S., Metali, F. and Whitney, H.M. (2024) “Living jewels: iterative evolution of iridescent blue leaves from helicoidal cell walls,” Annals of Botany, p. mcae045. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcae045.

Lets talk about grass, Nature's huge carpet Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now.[3] A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[4] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[5] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With about 780 genera and about 12,000 species,[3] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family. Only the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae have more species.[6] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[7] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).
That is interesting I feel like grass should be talked and appreciated more (I read nothing)

Well you know republicans are choosing Desantis at this point, no one else really.
And democrats have.... Oh...oh no...
I'm gonna have no one to vote for again huh.... Gonna have to motivate myself to get out of bed ask for a ride on just the right day at the right time and revote for nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
motherfuckers we, rather verbally, agreed that Biden is an Interim president, he was there for name recognition in a time we needed every vote. But you now have 4 years to find someone Real. It's 1.5. Bernie's out. I'm sorry, but you need actual leftist nuanced politicians like him to make you vote initially and encourage voting again. Getting to the poals mattahs.
Whatever. Guess they're still aiming for middleclass idiots with maybe 7% of the total wealth.
Like holy shit at least keep him as a backup, that 4 years IS a trump card. If they seriously just do not have anyone else? Fuck it, I'm out. How did they not learn from Hilary.
