Not just man-eating. “Cannibal” plants don’t eat humans - they digest too slowly and are much too weak.
I’ve never really heard anyone call carnivorous plants cannibal plants, I’ve only heard ‘cannibal plant’ in reference to the sims but those are technically called cow plants. But I’m sure people have called them cannibal plants, which in that case they’re assuming it means ‘meat eating’ which is also wrong
Or they’re using it RIGHT, and it means a plant-eating plant, like in the example of the “My Magic Grandpa” masterpiece.
Then google used it wrong because it auto searches for carnivorous plants when you put in cannibal plants and won’t bring up anything about plant eating plants so now I’m not sure how you find them -headdesk-
The reason you block and ignore corporate accounts on social media rather than messing with them isn’t because you’re taking the high road, it’s because the strategies you use to render the social media experience intolerable to individual influencers don’t work on brands. A brand is not a person. You cannot elevate its stress level or hurt its feelings. If you really try you can probably traumatise the unpaid intern who’s monitoring the DMs, but this is key: that person is replaceable. Like, yes, folks successfully drove Kellogg’s off of Twitter for a little while, but that was because Tony the Tiger getting sexually harassed created an optics problem – this is not a broadly replicable strategy.
Been seeing people say that we have to make Twitter completely unprofitable now that Elon owns it, and that’s completely true. We need to do that. But we’re not going to do that by just being so fucking annoying that no one else wants to be on Twitter. We have to be calculated, coordinated, and so fucking annoying that no brands want to be on Twitter. This must mark the resurgence of The Brand Wars. So if you’re on Twitter, you must be completely insufferable to brands. Every brand account you find, comment “SILENCE BRAND” on their posts, block them, tell everyone you know to block them, and move on to the next one. This includes the brands you like. I don’t care if Wendy’s Twitter is funny; block them. If all the funny popular brand Twitter accounts lose even a quarter of their following in a decently short period of time, they will freak out, and they will blame Musk. If every time you see a sponsored post you immediately block the account that sponsored it, that’s money that Twitter can’t make off of you anymore, and that’s money that Musk loses. We can do this, but we have to do it together, so let’s show the world just how powerful a social media community can be and show them that billionaires have no place in that community.
I don’t have a twitter, but for those who do:
1. This is a moral thing to do, take the internet back from corporate accounts
2. It would be really funny
Do not comment on their posts. Do not comment on their posts. Do not comment on their posts. Do not comment on their posts.
We’ve been stuck in this algorithmic hell hole for years now and we should all know that any engagement is still engagement. Hate clicks are still clicks. Comments telling someone off is dtill a comment.
If you’re following a brand, unfollow them. If not, block and move on.

even if a plant COULD eat a plant i dont think it would be cannibal unless it ate the same species of plant
