Hi! My name is Jonny Lim and I'm The Backpacking Biologist! My goal for this channel is to share the things I love, which are science, the great outdoors, travel, and some old fashion adventuring. Through my videos, I hope to foster a deep respect for nature within you. Connecting with nature has helped me in so many ways, and I believe that if everyone was a little more connected, the world would be a better place. So please join me!

    How are people so clueless lmao like all you have to do is look at one and think about it.. The constant cutting of everything and the very tiny pots, of course it's the result of years of stressing the plant into doing what the grower wants it to do. It's metal AF is what it is.

    There is no logic in neither evolution nor creation why an organism that can't do anything about pain would have a pain response, no reason except cosmic-cruelty so why are they mad at gardeners? If science finds some sensor in plants that we can call "pain", it will not be "like" the pain we know, we already understand human pain and plants don't have that.

    I pity those who think the bonsai tree was a torture device. Even trees on the street need to be pruned every so often or they will split on their own. Cutting and taking care of bonsai trees is concentration.

    Bonsai is not torture. Plants will grow in a variety of conditions, even if those conditions aren't ideal. Or plants will grow even under manipulated conditions. That's literally what plants do. They grow. That's it. Think of the noxious plants growing in between the cracks of cement. Is that torture that they've been stepped on, run over by bicycles, defacted on by animals and exposed to emissions? Nope. Plants just grow. That's it.

    Friendly reminder to the "bonsai is torture" people who enjoy hose plants of any kind: have you seen a monstera ora a photos thriving in nature? why would you torture that lovely plant in your appartament restricting it's possibility to grow? ^^ (or even the acricoltural cutting of fruit tree that make them produce more fruit, are you gonna stop eating apples? are you? or as other pointed out, the weekly grass cutting to keep your lawn sharp and clean? HU?) can't stand hypocrisy.

    As long as you have any foreign DNA or fragments of foreign DNA, that a PCR test designed to detect the DNA of that virus , and with cycle threshold up to a max of 30, can detect that viral DNA with great accuracy. It can not determine whether that viral DNA is currently behind any symptoms or illness or that you are currently infected or infectious with that particular virus. It can not be used as a diagnotic tool. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZeN18aMp8iqcdY.html

    The air pump is also great for your gear. Using your breath can add moisture to the inside of your pad. It can get pretty gross if you’re using your pad frequently.
