A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Frankly, that's how I feel when trying to be a decent human in this world run by an overwhelmingly large number of incredibly shitty people. Maybe he wasn't the crazy one. Or maybe I am... *sigh*

1 in a mapleillion.

The samara? They grow on maple trees. They're very common here in northern Europe. I have a feeling I'm missing a point.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's mutates or from a variation I've never seen given that it's three near complete helicopters instead of individuals.

[–] residentoflaniakea@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I can't make it out but is that what the picture is showing? Is so, then it's a really cool find!

[–] Little1Lost@gehirneimer.de 5 points 1 month ago

it is indeed a triplet. took it home :D

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yes. It's a maple helicopter but a mutant one that grew three of everything but didn't divide at the end.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

The one in the picture has three lobes. They usually just grow with two.

You mean this? Very rare. It took me a travel around my garden to find one! 😁 But you know how they say, to give you luck it must have four 😋 By the way, mine is from an Acer tree.
