The one and only Evil Scientist (3). Known for posting good and doing actual science.
ever think about how the world must have looked just after fungi figured out how to degrade lignin and suddenly all the ages-old fallen and dead trees and plants the world over sprouted with new life

one day
i would like to own a time machine
(which seems to make the first line of this bit irrelevant BUT)
for the sole purpose of going back to the time when the very first leaf emerged from the very first stem and unfurled for the very first time to a sun that had never seen a leaf before, hello small green thing! here is some radiation
and i would like to look upon that small green thing, the very first of a new kind of Life
and i would like to smoke it
There was a period where fungi were huge too, right? Like walking through a stinky Morrowind
Neat! Always love when a Wikipedia page has old scientist beef too
