For stuff that's neat. Neat article? Neat video? Neat pic of a bug you saw? All good. Neat meme? Ehhh... take it to the meme subs.

Rules

  1. Don't be an asshole. If you're reading a comment you're about to make and think "Hmm... this sounds like the kind of comment an asshole would make" then do not make that comment. Yes, even if the other person "started it". The report button is your friend.

Pecan pie is insanely good.

Used to call em squirrel brains as a kid.

I wonder if chestnuts would factor into this if they hadn't suffered from a blight. They are pretty tasty also, but have a different type of shell.

I was going to say: "only remaining major nut crop", because our great grandparents let the previous one go extinct.

They're still around! But they don't grow like they used to. You can find fruiting ones, and they aren't expected to go extinct (supposedly) because of their growth habits.

Cool! I thought that they had gone functionally extinct, with no more fruiting ones, only endlings

Pecans are what walnuts wish they could be.
