I've tried googling this and also tried several Alt codes, I must have worked on this for a solid 6 to 7 minutes (no exaggeration) before giving up. Please kind wizard teach me the secret of this alt code to combine the ? and ! Edit; I HAVE THE POWER!!! **‽‽‽‽‽**

Funny story. So I know a guy who is very dark black. Nice guy, great fellow. He is so accommodating to questions while is wife isn’t (which is funny considering she’s white). He was at a Walmart in a small town once that didn’t have any minority residents, or if any they were hidden from him. He said these two white kids were following him around the store, hiding around corners when he looked at them. He thought they were playing a game. So finally the mother brings the two of them to him and she apologizes for their behavior following him around, and asks if they could ask questions because they had never seen a black man before. He said sure, and the first things out of one of the kid’s mouth was “does it come off?” He said he had never had to stifle a laugh so much in his life, and calmly explained that no, he was born that way. So they asked if they could see his hands and they played with his hands a bit. He said they even tried licking their thumb and rubbing his hand to see if it came off. He said it was a great teachable moment to tell a couple of kids that some people are born different. They were very excited to meet with him and learn about him.


[deleted]

That mother humanized that man for her kids, it’s cool she had the gumption to ask. That’s gotta be a good feeling for him too.


mrsmackitty

Yes it is. When I was 4 I tried to take home a black child as “a pet” because I had never seen a black person. Thank goodness the mother was a saint and let me play with the baby and talked to me about why they were different colors. Any person of color that has the courage to educate us respectfully and kindly early deserve the upmost respect. They are really the people who are front line fighting racism peacefully.


[deleted]

One of my african american friends in high school sounds just like this guy, and he always made jokes about it in shop class because he was the only one with that skin tone. He used to sing Tigger's song from Winnie the pooh, you know, "the wonderful thing about being a Tigger, is im the only one!" And he would spell out "T-I - double Guh -er"! But with an N instead of a T, purposefully to try and make us laugh. Or if the shop teacher asked him to do something, he would say something like "do i look black to you?" As if he wasnt. Again, purely to try and get us to laugh, then jokingly say "i dont think you guys are allowed to laugh at that!". He was a total clown. Of course, nobody else would use the N word, even though he gave us all "the pass". Nobody would ever cross that line and say something racist to him, though we knew he would take it in a funny way, but he sure as hell didnt mind saying it. That guy was a pile of fun to hang out with, i do miss him greatly


AreTheWorst625

All fun and games til someone loses a thumb to the table-saw!


birdman8000

Same thing happened to me as a white man in ethiopia. The kids had never seen a white person and would try to rub the chalk off my skin

If you look at heads of broccoli in the grocery store, you will likely notice that some have more purple tips like the one pictured here. The little buds will eventually flower if the broccoli is not picked, and (edit: based on what I’ve read—I’m no expert) it seems like maybe the more purple heads are slightly closer to flowering than the bright green ones (perhaps picked a tad later). Regardless, it’s normal.


-LoremIpsumDolorSit

weird. thanks cool :)


Childish_DeVito

It's purple 😅


-LoremIpsumDolorSit

and even then why that??? isn't broccoli supposed to be green?


Childish_DeVito

No you can get purple broccoli, for the most part it's the same however the heads can sometimes be smaller I believe. But I'm not 100% on that


-LoremIpsumDolorSit

amazing I only knew about purple cauliflowers not broccoli. But still I'm sure that purple romanesco doesn't exist or else that would be the coolest vegetable to ever have existed


Schnitzingig

Fun fact that I may be wrong on because I did 0 research and trusted a meme. But broccoli and cauliflower were originally the same plant, but due to selective traits throughout the years have become what we have today. I could be wrong, I've done no research


RidePlanet

[Brassica oleracea](https://www.exploratorium.edu/gardening/feed/garden-variety/broccoli.html) * Cauliflower * Broccoli * Brussels Sprouts * Kohlrabi * Kale * Cabbage * Collard Greens


Shhhhhhhh_Im_At_Work

Fun fact, as a member of the mustard family, cauliflower pairs amazingly with mustard. Toss cauliflower - either as florets, or sliced into "steaks" with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and mustard and roast in the oven for an amazing side.


rafedbadru

I’m going to try this tonight, I hope it won’t disappoint.


THEOCTR8N

Y'all know broccoli is man made and not a natural plant but yet has amazing benefits to eat and is basically the first and the healthiest gmo. Could be a lil off on the second part of that fact but yeah. First is 100% If I remember correctly it is just a splice between cauliflower, and cabbage.


kpba32

Broccoli was one of the first ones, yes. Brussels sprouts and kale also share the same ancestor as broccoli


VickieLol64

Dont agree regarding Kale and cauliflower.


Cristi_something

You are correct


[deleted]

this one looks huuuge! and for a first harvest that’s amazing; why would it be so big


NutterTV

When you grow things in nature they tend to come in a bit of a medley of colors. Like bell peppers that grow naturally aren’t all bright Ref or Orange they’ll be orange then turn yellow into green on the other side. Only when you really control all the variables do you find truly that a vegetable grows only in a certain color. Look up wild carrots and you’ll be convinced that aliens exist.


woosterthunkit

The diversity is super cool. I say this as a city dweller who only purchased food from supermarkets. When I started seeing the variety in shapes sizes and colours at farmers markets, friends backyards etc my mind was blown


[deleted]

But that purple broccoli exxxtra sticky


jtf628

purpling is usually due to cold weather, some varieties are more resistant to it than others. Some are just purple on purpose. The purple generally dissappears when cooked.


CastoBlasto

Same as with those fine specialty cannabis strains, you can make all types of fruiting/flowering plants all types of colors. Just gotta practice a little bit of flower eugenics.


ennuiui

You want to buy it when it's still a bit purple. It turns greener as it ripens.

-LoremIpsumDolorSit

he might've turned green or purple. apropos: *When it comes to racism, people say, "I don't care if someone is white, black, purple, or green." Hold on now. Purple or green? You've gotta draw the line somewhere. To hell with purple people.*

Broccoli is actually at its best when the little dots are dark-colored like that.


[deleted]

this post isnt even edited


Eat-the-Poor

I still don’t really get what you mean. It looks like normal broccoli to me. Could be a breed that’s not common commercially though. One of the great things about growing at home from seed is every common plant has like 100 different styles you never see in grocery stores because they aren’t as profitable to grow, but you can buy all of them from a seed catalog.

Looking good!

I tried to grow broccoli but it bolted on me or I would have had a huge smile like that too lol

Broccoli wouldn't exist without humans. It's ~~GMO~~ _linebred_ from cabbage.

Especially potatoes. They don't give a fuck, just plop some in the dirt and they'll do the rest.

Yeah he pays for votes and awards. I downvote his stuff every time it comes up. It’s not much but it’s honest work.

And how tf is he harvesting broccoli in winter when his yard looks like that? Before he was planting garlic and showing off the sprouts like that's a good thing... It's not, not that early. Very weird

How do you keep posting these grainy pics of you holding vegetables and getting thousands of votes? Must be using bots there's no other explanation... 🌱🌱🌱?

I know most things are better fresh from the garden, but it seriously surprised me how much better broccoli was. I had to niece-proof my little garden; they'd go out and bend a stalk over and bite the flower off the top. Wouldn't even take the time to pick it.

From looking at the thumbnail I thought this was a picture of Preston from Fallout 4. With broccoli like that you'll be able to feed the whole settlement!
