I wish that this is how biology lessons be like. It's so much more laid back, interesting, your method of teaching doesn't make biology sound complicated and intimidating as a subject. And love the technological part of the lesson, with images, live drawings and definition.

A comforting(?) fact about the figs is that although each ripe fig requires a fig wasp to die inside the fig for polination, the wasps are broken down by the fig, so you aren't actually eating any dead wasps when you eat figs.

@sboinkthelegday3892 4 ай бұрын

Maybe that's the commonality why fig newtons are called that.

@babblgamgummi6029 4 ай бұрын

But that means the only reason you don't eat dead wasps is because the fig ate them first, and somehow that sounds more unsettling
