    Technically, the plant grew them. You just made sure the plant didn’t think of dying. Just to betray your plant. Your dear love. Only because you want to steal its offspring with the sole purpose of devouring them.

    Nice.

    Do you find the skins on these somewhat tougher than on store-bought tomatoes? I noticed this about mine back when I grew them for a couple years. Like they’re more robust or something.

      I think that has to do with heat, nutrient, or water stress. Commercial tomatoes have been bred to have tougher skins, specifically, for shipping. I haven’t had the time to really dig into why my tomatoes sometimes are tough and sometimes delicate.

        Commercial tomatoes are usually shipped unripe, so they’re harder and I think that’s how they survive shipping. Tomatoes I’ve grown myself and received from other people’s gardens have always had thicker, tougher skins than the ones from the store.

      it was the plant that did the growing, the humans merely stand by and watched. that is why all the food should actually belong to the plants.

      They incepted the seeds of growth into the minds of the tomatoes to bootstrap themselves into existence.

    Yum. They look delicious! Had a tomato that my friend grew (it was nowhere near that big) and it was wonderful!

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
