It's always Brassica

All look the same as a silhouette.
- We know they follow a fractal pattern.
  As do dinosaurs, which ate the big trees, and (in chicken nugget form) eat the small broccoli trees too
  Nature is beautiful.
  
  You are what you eat, so dinosaurs are a type of broccoli too.
  
  Oh, and I was being sarcastic. Thank you.
- Thanks Plato
@fossilesque Phew. i checked it's not... :blobamused:
Discovering just how many vegetables are all brassica was a lot similar to when I found out that all real tea (black/green/white/oolong) is the exact same plant.
- Wait until you find out about peppers, especially bell. Yellow red and green…
  
  I assume you're getting at the extremely vast number of cultivars included in capsicum annuum. There are lots of popular cultivars included in capsicum frutescens and chinense though.
  
  What should I know about peppers?
- Except for Red/Rooibos tea which is a Fabaceae legume like soybeans, peanuts, and liquorice.
  
  TIL, thank you!
- There's mate, which is a different species: Ilex Paraguariensis vs. Camellia Sinensis.
  
  Absolutely love it, in all forms. Yerba mate to start my morning and Club-Mate to extend the night!
Closely followed by nightshade and umbellifer
- nightshade are one heck of a ride
Context (Wikipedia)
- I'm not sure if anyone's see it before, but romanesco broccoli looks absolutely stunning.
  
  Fractals all the way down
  
  i can't eat some broccoli but i want to eat this just for the math
  
  It's tasty, too -- and I fucking hate regular broccoli and cauliflower.
  There's an orange variant of this which tastes the same but is even cooler-looking.
  
  Mmmmm, fractal broccoli....
But do the cabbage worms fuck with it?
- No need for name calling, but to answer your question; yes I do.
- I recently took in one of these that was found on commercial produce, and turns out they will starve themselves to death if they've learned about the most premium crucifers and are denied them.
Is it though?
I can often tell a Brassica species just by looking at it. Redwood seems entirely dissimilar am I dumb and missing a joke here or what?
- No, the joke is that people would potentially believe anything about brassicas at this point because everything else is a brassica.
- Do brussel sprouts really look the same as cauliflower to you?
  
  In the leaves, yes. The white part is flowers.
based and triangle of u pilled
if redwoods was in the brassicales order, and not a gymnosperm
I mrreow meow
All hail brassica prime
