So.
None of you thought it *might* be important to tell me that ferns have sperm that swim??? I just had to find all this out on my own?
And, (apparently, & no one thought to bring this up either🙄) fern plants are only one form... they have this 'other form' (tiny, ephemeral, difficult to find in the wild) alternates generations-- Fern spores don't grow into ferns! (WHAT) they grow into 'gemetophytes' (WHAT) THEN you get a fern.
Feel like I've uncovered a massive scandal.
@futurebird How so? They teach us this thing in schools?
I must have missed this part.
@futurebird From what I gathered from the thread it just looks like your part of the world and mine have different educational programmes. I knew there were some differences but it's first time I can see them "irl" (if I can call the digital convo such lol)
@Twarda @futurebird Looks like this hasn't changed much. Decades ago in the 5th grade in the US I sat bored as fuck in maths classes when the other kids learned things that I did in 2nd grade. By 5th grade I already had some idea of linear algebra and trigonometry, but had to hear about long division.
