This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This bamboo stalk got snapped almost completely in half during a storm two years ago, and yet it still lives. (lemmy.world)

I can't figure out how it could possibly be drawing enough nutrients to live, and yet there it is. I'd have chopped it up and dragged it away but now I'm impressed and want to see how long it goes on.

That's what I keep hearing, but all the bamboo I've tried to grow died after a couple of years. Am I doing something wrong?
