is the speedy tree growth a property of the soil, location, or of whatever we plant in there? if i plant a fruit do i get a tree that gives out instant growth seed versions of that fruit?

because if so i'd like to patent 1 day growth date seeds.

Rereading this, I guess you're right, it would have to be a living one.

The whim came to me as an idea to save the species. I guess it would be useless in and of itself without plenty of habitat.

Like pure metallic lithium? That would be extremely flammable.

What if i bury myself alive until the tree sprouts? Get some breathing tubes and such.

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Clone tree

Though as the tree's "seed", you would have to remain there forever to keep giving it life

Hex, is it immoral to become your own omelas? Asking for a friend.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 4 hours ago

Becoming Omelas (a body that lives in the dirt forever) so that you can destroy Omelas (The United States) is moral, because eventually you will achieve world communism and will be able to free the dirtbody.
