Found this post on IG and I’m wondering what this community’s stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it’s a valid question.
Edit: *where I live
Local variants of sticks are acceptable.
can’t bring sticks? i have questions
You can’t bring anything that could carry non-native lifeforms on it, to preserve Antarctica’s unique Flora and Fauna from invasive species.
What, not even our nice Norwegian ~shape-shifting assimilating microbes~dogs?
EDIT: I am sad lemmy doesn’t appear to support strikethrough.
Bookend two tildes for strike through ~~ stuff ~~ =
stuffDoesn’t work for me? Vivaldi (Chrome-based browser, desktop) using old.lemmy.ca
Oh… ha, I browse using the ‘mlmym.org’ theme. Using
www.lemmy.caI see it works. Must be a bug in the theme. I’ll see who I can report to, for a fix. Thanks.
I just realized there is an entire continent where there are no trees, and thus no sticks.
And it isnt a small continent either. it is larger than all of Europe and also larger than Australia. We arent talking about an island or archipelago or even some random landlocked desert. It is a continent.
the fact that there are no sticks that naturally occur there at all… it confuses and concerns me.
This is deeply unsettling to me.
Don’t worry, flowers are starting to bloom more and more on Antarctica.
Soon, trees will start to grow so even that continent has sticks!
Wait … that is even a bigger concern to worry.
When humanity has to move to the poles to survive, I’d rather have trees than not.
Coastal Norway is also pretty warm in this sense, but there aren’t any trees far north. I suspect there’s more than just warmth they want
also larger than Australia
Not all that well-known, but Australia claims about 42% of Antarctica as part of it’s territory.
Australia can go fuck itself
