Bourgeoisie. I mean it's impossible for tree to grow humans but this shouldn't make us stop with the first part of that experiment.

Do we need to stick to the laws of physics, or can we get magic involved?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You would need to bury an already magical item.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I was thinking more like: Does a tree that grows real-world precious metals need a real and extensive root system that gathers those precious metals from underground ore veins? Or can it make those real-world precious metals magically from scratch?

REAL ANIMATE TERRACOTTA SOLDIERS SO I CAN HAVE AN ARMY TO OVERTHROW THIS ROTTEN EMPIRE

NOTE TO FEDS: THIS IS A JOKE AND IS ENTIRELY FICTIONAL THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ANIMATE TERRACOTTA SOLDIERS

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

It'd go to Washington DC and bury one of those small suitcase nukes.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What if i bury myself alive until the tree sprouts? Get some breathing tubes and such.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Clone tree

Though as the tree's "seed", you would have to remain there forever to keep giving it life

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bet, alternate version of me are just as valid as the OG. I'll carry on to start the Zoive(Zoift hive)

Apples.

This way I have fresh apples tomorrow and I don't have to go to the store!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

is the speedy tree growth a property of the soil, location, or of whatever we plant in there? if i plant a fruit do i get a tree that gives out instant growth seed versions of that fruit?

because if so i'd like to patent 1 day growth date seeds.

diamonds, so i can disprove the labor theory of value like a boss, epic style

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That wouldn't disprove LTV though.
