I mean, she’s never been to a farm, qudzu grows literally anywhere, it’s an invasive species that can destroy stone structures, shes a city girl

I still think it’s so crazy that Ivy just goes around throwing invasive Japanese plants everywhere

Kudzu has been in America since the late 19th century 

[u/rabbidbunnyz222 → u/Away-Actuary-6963]

As an invasive species from Japan, yeah

I mean if we go back far enough then most newyorkers are pretty much invasive.

You’re getting downvoted but that was lowkey a bar.

Big fat ass facts

[u/Malorea541 → u/Regular-Bid6812]

Actually, funnily enough a huge amount of invasive species in America got their start from one dude introducing "all the animals in Shakespeare" into Central Park NYC.

ETA: just learned that this is an urban legend, the only actual invasive species that might have originated this way is Starlings. (though they are a pretty massively invasive species)

This whole Apple feels a little bit Cursed, it's like somebody else mighta been living here first

Idk I wouldn’t call immigrants invasive personally.

Edit: also a little weird to suggest New Yorkers are a different species than native Americans. Personally I don’t believe I that kinda thing I think we’re all one species.

[u/Regular-Bid6812 → u/Box_v2]

Before what we might consider immigration. I'm speaking more about the colonial empire side of things. But nice try.

[u/Box_v2 → u/Regular-Bid6812]

Most New Yorkers are not children of colonizers. Their ancestors came during the big immigrations waves so if your point was about colonization you’re just factually wrong.

[u/yinyang107 → u/Box_v2]

What do you think those earlier immigration waves were, dude?

[u/Regular-Bid6812 → u/Box_v2]

yeah the legacy of colonialism is complex sure - where do you draw the line ect. Honestly I wasn't trying to write a dissertation - I was being pithy. America was founded by invaders and colonizers and the empire that stands there now is the legacy of that endeavor. Why quibble?

[u/GonzoTheGregarious → u/Box_v2]

Humans are kind of an invasive species by our own definition, we just invaded a long time ago, except for pure-blooded sub-saharan africans I guess, they're actually native everyone else is invasive.

[u/Box_v2 → u/GonzoTheGregarious]

I don’t think animals moving to a new locations makes them invasive. It’s the unnatural transportation and spreading of those animals that makes them invasive.

[u/ohheythereguys → u/GonzoTheGregarious]

humans are not an invasive species lmao; that's just ecofascist rhetoric

we do have a tendency toward colonisation, though

Thanks for being the most annoying post of the day
