This may look like a #mosstodon entry, but it's actually a cushion plant (yareta) in the Chilean desert. They grow 2-15 mm a year and can be thousands of years old.

A velvety looking bright green blob in the desert. There's some tufts of grass next to it, and mountains on the background. The blob looks about a meter high and 1,5 meter wide.

Fun fact: Dutch has a unique letter in its alphabet no other language has: the ij. The status of ij as a single letter has undergone considerable erosion, though, to the point where most official institutions now consider it not a letter, but a digraph of i and j. Computers and software have pretty much killed off ij as a single character, too - you just type a i and j separately (good fonts will kern them closer, though).

A vestigial element of ij being a single letter can be seen in Dutch capitalisation rules: in words starting with ij, both elements are capitalised: IJsselmeer.

Throughout this toot, I've used the official Unicode characters, so you can't copy just the i or j.

Random Nigerian fact for you:

During the civil war, Nigeria used starvation as a weapon of war. Over a million Biafrans died, mostly kids.

Eventually, the rest of the world came through with food donations. Norway, for instance, sent a dried cod product that they barely ate called stockfish.

That was 55 years ago. Now stockfish is an indispensable part of Nigerian cuisine. We spend tens of millions of dollars each year importing it from Norway.

I guess generosity pays.
