Lawns are such a waste of productive land and time.

The origins of lawns piss me off to no end. Originally it was a flex to have a lawn “Hey look at me! I have so much money and resources that I don’t even need to farm on my own land! Hell yea!” And over time, these rich assholes realized “wait a sec, none of the poor people know how rich I am! Just my servants and people who happen to be walking past!” So they hired artists to show their wonderful estates and lack of gardens. Over time people started to identify those green fields of grass with class status. People slowly became less reliant on farms because of the rise of trade and agricultural production. They still had houses and land tho, so they copied the lawns from the paintings and it became more and more common. Obviously there are a few details here and there that I probably missed but that’s the gist of why people are so obsessed with lawns
