Plant name survey: progress report

Hello folks, :)

The @gendercensus is going well - and I'm running this plant-name survey on the side, which everyone everywhere is invited to take part in, regardless of your level of interest/expertise in plants.

You can see some statistics about how the survey is going here. For example, here's the graph of the number of people who have taken part per hour since the survey started, for a current total of 264:

Basically, it's an extremely short (<5m) and easy survey about the common names of a particular group of plants, and you don't need to know anything about them to participate, but I am particularly interested in getting as many responses as possible from Jewish people - and I just found out about the #Jumblr hashtag, so I am reposting with that in the hope that it helps a bit! (Also if you know any Jewish people who like doing surveys or who like houseplants, please do share the survey link with them.)

Thank you so much! 🌱🪴

Edit 2024-07-27: This survey is now closed and you can see the results here!

can anyone tell me why i just thought it would be a good idea to throw myself headlong into a sequence of research & effort that summarizes as "human geography & urban planning historical revisionism" and would require learning how to do a from-the-ground-up redesign of entire metro areas based off of current understanding of the course of technological advancement, finding the oldest topographic data to use, spending hundreds of hours learning to effectively draw/paint semi-realistic architectural & landscape scenes, likely learning 3D modeling whether digital or physical, improving my understanding of building standards/options, and keeping up with emerging technologies.

Completely unrelated to what I usually post! I am a business student and am required to plot out 2 separate businesses. this includes creating surveys, and asking for others to fill them in. One of these is a herb business, and the second is a jumping spider business! If anyone could fill either, or both, of these out it'll be greatly appreciated! Herb business

Today at Buffalo Creek Wildlife Preserve

After a long day of counting plants for my masters class project, and my partner doing ecological restoration work, both outdoors, both very sweaty, we decided to kick back and relax after dinner by identifying as many plants at a wildlife preserve as we could.

Before that, here is a list of the animals we saw while looking at the plants:

-Canada Geese

-Mallard ducks

-Swallow (tree?)

-Sparrow (spp. unsure)

-Redwing blackbirds

-Japanese beetle*

-Stinkbug (spp.?)

-Milkweed bug :)

-Monarch butterfly

-Muskrat

-Deer

-Bunnies!

-Little mouse/vole guy

Here is a list of plants (I'll start with the plants I added to iNat and then the other ones from memory); we did not attempt to identify most grasses/sedges/trees, this is mostly prairie plants and is not a complete list of plants in the region. I will include a little "?" for plants that we couldn't 100% determine or were only recommended through iNaturalist, and an asterisk for plants that are not native.

-false sunflower

-wild bergamot

-sawtooth sunflower

-purple prairie clover

-butterfly milkweed

-stiff-leaved goldenrod

-white campion*

-prairie crab apple (?)

-common milkweed

-oxeye daisy

-annual fleabane*

-prairie dock

-wild white indigo

-illinois bundleflower

-red clover*

-virginia mountain mint

-american senna

-rough cocklebur (*?)

-joe-pye weeds

-orange day-lily*

-ironweed

-oak (various)

-white sweetclover*

-yellow sweetclover*

-compass plant

-gray-headed coneflower/yellow coneflower

-purple coneflower

-cut-leaved teasel*

-canada thistle*

-bull thistle*

-grass-leaved goldenrod

-virginia strawberry

-elm (?)

-prairie rosinweed

-orchard grass (?)*

-timothy grass (?)*

-switchgrass

-redtop

It was nice and late in the afternoon, cloudy, and there was rain forecasted but it didn't come until we were leaving (and even then it was barely drizzling). Overall we saw a lot of plants and animals! :)

guys im so sick of the robot dog hysteria post and theyre less efficient than just letting human cops kill people the way they always have but jsyk in the unlikely event that a cyberpunk fever dream future becomes real boston dynamics doesn't allow guns on those things and will probably use a backdoor to shut them down remotely if they find out you're using them for this. the Unitree robots that you CAN mount guns to without this concern can be shut down with a 433mhz remote, which can be emulated on devices like the flipper zero (there's also a wifi backdoor you can apparently use to take it over entirely). exploits like this will always exist. there is no need to smash machinery you don't like with sledgehammers.

i love watching regular show. especially now that i have a parks job like i see those funky little animals drive a golf cart around to pick up trash and experience horrors beyond their comprehension and nap on the clock and im like. haha i do that

Okay Wait I need to test something

Editing for clarity as there's been some confusion in the notes:

If you're allergic to an animal that is respiratory or skin or both depending on what allergic reaction you get. If it happens after ingesting said animal that's food

Medicine falls under other, I am so sorry to all the people allergic to penicillin (&others) I forgot that medicine was a thing that existed

If you're allergic to something in the way all humans are allergic, like poison ivy or mosquitos, then you can hit no

That being said, if you're allergic to a certain plant or medication and it doesn't impact your life because you never interact with it, you're still allergic

Hopefully I addressed everything, more edits may be to come. Thank you all for participating in this incredibly scientific survey

A part of me wishes to beat my head against the wall due to not studying, noting, and teaching myself about the stock market a couple of years ago. Gaining recent knowledge of the stock market has made me realized that I have wasted over a decade in figuring out how to make extra money. Due to my negative consequences, I do not recommend these tasks for you (American or Western man) to…
