The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.
The pineapple is native to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple plant to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. The fruit, particularly its juice, has diverse uses in cuisines and desserts.
Pineapples grow as a small shrub; the individual flowers of the unpollinated plant fuse to form a multiple fruit. The plant normally propagates from the offset produced at the top of the fruit or from a side shoot, and typically matures within a year.

I'll add the amount of users who engage in bad faith, is quite disappointing too.
There's a few who have faced no kind of cool down period or moderation when I believe they should have. Some engage in name calling, fed/wrecker jacketing, and overall total disrespect to other hexbear users trying to engage in healthy debate, or weren't even talking to them to begin with. Huge turnoff for me and I've pretty much stopped using the site because of it
Yeah there's just entire sections of the site I don't engage with and try to avoid. I'll see a thread and know that nothing good will come of it and hide it immediately. It sucks because a lot of the time it's a topic that I think is worth discussing or whatever, I just don't want to argue about it.
Also sidenote: its good to see you around again!
Aw thanks comrade
Yeah I think I'm probably going to do the same as you now, or maybe just block people. I love to debate but when it turns to arguing/name calling, I'm too old for that shit lol
I agree, I've seen some pretty nasty mudslinging with no repercussions
I'm sorry that you've been made to feel like not engaging with the discussions on the site, seen a few have been made to feel the same as you.
You're not wrong, a lot of folks end up leaving. Seems like there's a purge every year or something. I'm just gonna hide in the general mega from now on
The mega is pretty chill it seems, at least less toxic. (α΅βα΄β)
