    In fairness if plants had their names written on them, I’d probably be able to identify those as well.

    If you can’t recognize most of the plants in the produce section, you really oughta be eating more fruits and vegetables. I don’t really like veggies either and I still know more than 10 plants just in the category of food you can buy with a corporate logo on it.

      Vegetables are often the root of the plant. Fruits are the… well fruit.

      I think the context of this meme is about the plant as a specimen in nature.

      Below is a picture of a carrot plant and onion plant.

      If not for survival video games i would not have known.

        You R E A L L Y want to get your carrots/parsnips right when it comes to ID, though. Water hemlock is fatal if ingested, and several parsnips will give you gnarly blisters if you come into contact with their sap

    If the names of the plants would be spelled for me under each plant every time then that would greatly enhance my memory.

    Let’s make sure to shame the people being bombarded by advertisements for 90% of their lives. That’ll motivate them to be more cognizant of botany

    what… how is this a dystopic thing. put aside the fact that knowing brands helps me make decisions all the time and knowing plants wouldn’t help me at all since I’m not a forager… you could get rid of all corporations today and make us live in a perfect, moneyless, classless utopia and 20 years later I could still name maybe 4 different flowers because I don’t give a shit what they’re called.

        I didn’t touch that because that’s part of the complaint. I’m saying even accepting that as something to complain about, surely you could have much better things to compare than fucking plant names.

    • cowslip
    • mallow
    • bindweed

    is the number 1000 based on anything? i’m curious if there have been any studies on the amount of logos most people recognize. 1000 seems high but also not, so i wonder if there’s science to back it up

      It’s obviously bullshit.

      Could you imagine sitting through a survey with over a thousand logos and plants to be able to reach this conclusion?😆
