  • A shitpost but deserves some nerdy clarification. Flowers pollinated by animals(bees, ants, moths, bats, etc) are almost never the source of hay fever type allergies. These include almost every flower you can think of including the tulips seen here. The reason is that pollen of these plants needs to cling to their pollinators to be transported and thus have not evolutionarily selected for being moved by wind currents.

    The ones that are wind-pollinated produce the respiratory allegic reactions. These are oaks, gingko, willows, pines, cedars, most grasses (rice, corn, wheat, barley, rye, bamboo), hops, ragweed (not goldenrod as is often conflated) etc.

    The exception are moulds, but they are not pollen-producing nor even flowering plants at all. They produce spores. If you want to have a mind fuck look up the reproduction cycle of ferns, moulds, etc.




  • There is very little competitive turf between these two purchases IMO. Nintendo folks will buy Ocarina. Gamers will generally buy both. And GTA folks will still buy GTA. And both will probably earn billions of dollars for their respective companies.

    The only thing going against Nintendo is Switch 2 adoption will hit a bit of a hurdle with the 9/1 console price increase.
