Lawns are stupid and I think they look boring
Also pigeons are underappreciated and we are gonna go to pigeon hell for how dirty we did them
Bio 20-30 should be mandatory
I got so many hot shit takes somebody stop me
I'm with you about the lawns, but pidgeons?Hate them.
If they were professionally raised and stayed within their area, naybe. City flying rats which have 0 care for everything, nest inside people's balconys (I've had pictures of them sitting on/near anti-pidgeon deterrents), and shitting on everything everywhere, hell nah.
What is a bio 20-30
Canadian for high school level biology
Isn't high school level biology already mandatory in most countries?
Canadas response to the pandemic (oops we did a convoy)makes a lot more sense now dont it :')
Convoy = Canada. Got it.
Nah, it's more a combo of bad schooling, Flatlander Dementia, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and any kind of a stressor that populists can leverage to de-platform scientists, giving us hicks weaponized by talk show hosts masquerading as leaders into the Flu Trux Clan and their Karen Konvoy
No mention of the kitchen sink with all of that verbal flotsam and jetsom? Now that's restraint!
I had a choice between biology or chemistry. But, that was a long time ago.
I was going to answer but I think my experience from 2006 - 2008 is likely not accurate anymore either 😅
Never heard of it. Am Canadian, went to uni. Were you to say 'Chem 11' or 'Math 12', then yeah.
That's basic level, like you can pick science 20/30 or you can pick two from chemistry, physics, or bio at those levels. The mandatory one is science 30 but I think bio 30 should be baked in because we clearly did not teach enough people how their whole shit works
They're iridescent doves, love em
Second only to gulls in my hate list. All of 'em.
Aw i love seagulls, i love any creature that finds a way around our mess and makes a niche inside of it. Plus they learned how to steal and that's kinda fun.
Regarding lawns, I think it's the feeling of accomplishment when you've mowed them that's the kicker. A wild garden can look better, but there's something about the smugness of having a freshly cut lawn that gives you a slightly virtuous buzz.
I'd get rid of my lawn for a patch of ground with native vegetation but want my dogs to have a decent area to poop on so it's tolerated for that.
They can poop on native groundcover still!
You wouldn't happen to be german, would you?
"Eight! I mean nine!!"
No but I do really fux with their compound language
Are these common German beliefs, am I in the wrong country?
In germany gardens are quite boring. Short cut grass to 6mm, hedges, front garden is stones. Barely and flowers. That is it. Not as brutalistic as american "gardens" because german gardens atleast the oder once have at least a BIT of british garden style.
I am german and this is the reason i dont want a garden. Because the image of owning a garden for it just to be boring has been ruined for me. Now classical english gardens. Oooh they are true beauty!!! If i would get a house and garden, then that would be the garden i'd get. But im pretty sure for all that i would have to go threw lots of governmental institutions...also these flowers sadly arent very well suited for the climat change heat from what i know. The other type of garden i'd love is a bog garden.
Buuut i dont know how faar i'd be allowed to get it to act like a natural bog. Mind this area used to be a bog until it got drained in the 50s-60s and its peat got harvested away :(
My neighbour just mowed the lawn (we take turns). Was the grass long? No. It's dead. We're in our 5th heatwave this year.
She only mowed the clover (which is (was) doing well) and the wild flowers that the other neighbour mowed around. What was (dead) grass is now dirt.
What is wrong with you, Germany.
I WISH I KNEWWW!!!!!!! THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP!!
Canadian gardens are generally boring also, though there will always be that one down the street where they go all out. But I have come to realize these are, in fact, necessary. You need to feel humiliated and apologetic about the state of your own yard. It builds national character.
You're right about England though! Wow, even the rolling countryside looks so carefully manicured. Really drives home to any Canadian our colonial peasantry roots. Highly recommend the visit. 10/10!
Idk i just have a german friend that would 500% agree with you
I like the cut of his jib
