Kinda pissed bout the green one getting knocked out. And the 30000 year old virus. Dam

[Goiter Sanchez]

Wha?

[Root5]

 

EDIT: but you know, broken GIFs are also pretty IDM

Broekn fucking giffffffs!!!!!!!!!!

It was hard to choose between Mycorrhizae and Farmer Robots

 

 

But I reckon Mycorrhizae will be present on the Robot Farms, so I went for the latter

[Bob Dylan]

I use mycorrhizae every day of my life as per my job. Landscape Architects specify it pretty much everywhere in our softscape tenders. It ain't IDM to me

CavES!

[Zephyr_Nova]

Caves are so generic though. They're like the space stations of the earth... and so will almost certainly win this, but I don't vote for caves for the same reasons I'd never vote for space stations.

if u vote 4 caves i will make u live in a cave

[Goiter Sanchez]

if u vote 4 caves i will make u live in a cave

I would love to live in a cave!

 

edit: but I probably couldn't stay there due to being unable to handle how IDM it was.

go caves, it's your birthday

Most IDM should have gone to whatever got the least amount of votes imo

[Guest A/D]

Here's some facts for anyone undecided. I used bullet points, which are the best way to convey information.

 

Mycorrhizae:

 

• were the Internet before humans even existed.
• CMNs (common mycorrhizal networks) can span entire continents.
• allow plants of different species to chemically converse, and select offspring to defend against insects or herbicides. (The whole way plants selectively reproduce through pre-zygotic selection is incredibly IDM in itself, and not well understood. Much less the way they can do it remotely by receiving chemical signals through a symbiotic fungus.)
• are the largest symbiotic association on Earth.

That's amazing stuff.. Got any good documentaries on the matter?

[Cryptowen]

my honourable opponent mr. a/d raises a strong point but i would like to provide a counter argument:

 

[Goiter Sanchez]

This final 4 is Nature Versus Technology, sort of.

Caves pulls into a significant lead!!! This is an exciting race that's gone back and forth a number of times.

 

Mycorrhizae and farming robots are still neck and neck!
