Don’t fuck with cacti. They live in an inhospitable place and take years to grow. Prickly pear cacti are more sustainable than other varieties, but still take years to mature. Enjoy them for what they are and leave them alone.
These are cultivated nopales. They grow lots of new pads every year for harvest. This is like scratching a picture on a apple.
The plants still take 6 to 7 years to mature. If you think broadcasting that you can fuck up nopales because they produce paddles annually, you’re not promoting an environment that’s sustainable for the nopales.
You do you… but I think it’s not cool to fuck with them.
Let’s just fuck em all up then, right?
I appreciate your intentions my friend. But I guarantee to you that nopale graffiti is not a problem.
No idiot. Pay attention.
Those pads are edible
This comment needs some disclaimers however! Proper preparation is very important here!
And delicious!
And DO NOT assume you can carefully touch them by just putting your fingers in between the big seemingly sparse spikes coming out of them. It turns out there are little tiny prickers all along the entire surface at high density. They will sink into your hand, are very painful, and very difficult to remove.
when I was a kid I had to retrieve a ball that went into a brush of prickly pear. I didn’t see any spikes coming out of it so I thought it was fine.
it hurt so much just to move my hand
Meh. It’s prob pic OP’s cacti. Especially taking the grass background. I have these in my yard, from taking overgrowth pickings from my parents yard. I have to cut them back a couple times a year to keep them from over growing their boundaries or getting fat woody trunks.
In general though, yes. Don’t mess with natural flora and fauna.
(DOOM is running on the hominids, that’s how you know it’s not AI generated.)
and as usual multiplayer is full of green pricks
Looks more like Wolfenstine.
Is that a diagonal panel directly in front? (At the end of the wall on the right?) Did they have those?
It could be. ID didn’t have diagonal walls until doom. But then the person drawing could have had an unsteady hand.
Ugh. This picture makes me uncomfortable.
I know some of you-all know about the “Tamales” lady…a staple of the Mexican community wherever there’s a Mexican community.
But have you heard of the “nopales lady”? That’s right, nopales are not only delicious, they are also delicious 😋.
Bit slow in the frames-per-second department though.
You have to wait for a whole new cactus to grow per-frame.
Still, faster than one of those $200 “Windows Laptops” with 4 gigs of RAM I see on Amazon and the like.
