No, it's because money is green and money is the root of all evil so since plants have roots, plants are also green. Except for all the myriad different species and cultivars that aren't green at all, they ain't got no money. They ain't got no car to take you on a date. Tthey can't even buy you flowers.

Money isn't green everywhere in the world. Where I live, 100 euro bills are green, but all other bills are completely different colors.

100 AUD is green too

So... paper... is like, uhh, the root? The root of the evil?

[–] illi@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

Trunk of all evil maybe? Branch of all evil?

That's interesting. I wonder how it may be related to the water system. Eg waterfalls.
