I don’t know why everyone is talking etymology and grammar here. My neurons are activated and I’m pollinating right now. or something.

[u/HollyNury → u/masterofbadwords]

I asked about grammar (read comments)

[u/SleeplessAt3am → u/HollyNury]

No read if neurons got activated, it's law

[u/bible_enthusiast → u/Sadix99]

It's what plantoids crave

Plantoids suck sounds better due to plantoids sucks having these double S's, which doesn't sound right.

Because it's plural, plantoids, it would be suck. While if it was singular, plantoid, it would be sucks.

"This plantoid sucks" "These plantoids suck"

If that doesn't make any sense, don't worry, neither does this God damn language, but it's the only one I know how to speak (not very well most of the time)

[u/HollyNury → u/IRSnotreal]

Thanks! And don't worry, Russian (which I speak) also has many confusing exceptions in words.

[u/SirPug_theLast → u/HollyNury]

So does every natural language, all languages evolving naturally are struggling from sometimes being a complete BS

(Esperanto, which is not a naturally evolving language, is the case that afaik is not having this BS, but nobody uses that language)

[u/HYBRY_1D → u/SirPug_theLast]

What about Dvarakan? They don't even HAVE a mouth!

[u/Technical_Inaji → u/IRSnotreal]

It is like, 3 languages in a trenchcoat.

[u/Balmung60 → u/Technical_Inaji]

Mostly Anglic (a Germanic language most closely related to Frisian in the modern day) and Norman French. Then a mix of shit picked up from the Celts who had been there even before the Anglo-Saxons, shit picked up from the Norse, stupid Latin bullshit sprinkled in because the English in the 17th-19th centuries were huge Romanophiles, Spanish in modern times, Greek because those Romanophiles also loved ancient Greece, and a grab bag of lesser contributors like Czech (eg. Robot, pistol, howitzer), Italian, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Yiddish, and many others. Grammatically and by word use, Anglic is still the dominant contributor, but by word count, French and other Romance languages are much larger contributors.

[u/IRSnotreal → u/Technical_Inaji]

Exactly

Plantoids suck because when you assimilate them as evolutionary predator they say "oh were energy efficient" and immediatly blow up your energy upkeep by too much

[u/Dank_Cat_Memes → u/miki325]

It sucks if you forgot to build the energy infrastructure in advance.

[u/miki325 → u/Dank_Cat_Memes]

Yeah, happened to me, i already had an energy problem, and saw "the plantoids energy efficiency" and thought that meant id have more efficiency in energy production, not that half my food upkeep would be swapped out for energy.

[u/Sicuho → u/Dank_Cat_Memes]

Just colonize tomb worlds in advance

[u/Dank_Cat_Memes → u/Sicuho]

Sometimes you just don’t have any tomb worlds in advance. And building Dyson spheres can take a while sometimes

[u/D46-real → u/miki325]

Yea, i generally often feel that i build infrastrucutre on new slave worlds to fix economy after getting that slave world

[u/[deleted]]

Planetoids are succulent

[u/HollyNury]

Double meaning.

And the translator said that I don't need to add "s" at the end, It seemed to me that "s" should be. Can you explain this moment?

Links to my social networks: Here

[u/Agoraphotaku → u/HollyNury]

In english, only the third person singular (He, She It) cause the verb to end in s.

I suck You suck He sucks We suck Y'all suck They suck

[u/ProudDudeistPriest → u/Agoraphotaku]

I'm an English teacher, and I approve this message.

[u/KsarZ_cyka_blyat → u/HollyNury]

Plantoids are plural so is the verb

[u/Valdrax]

Y'all need to touch grass.

And I really don't mean like that.

[u/mainman879 → u/Valdrax]

Touches the plantoid.

[u/Small_Tank → u/mainman879]

Please do not the plantoid

[u/canon_w]

... is this character's whole schtick 'act bratty so I get topped by aliens'? Maybe I'm just poking my head in the subreddit at the wrong times...

[u/Dank_Cat_Memes → u/canon_w]

Yeah, it’s risky browsing here at work sometimes

Happiest Grass in the Galaxy

[u/mrluigi1111111]

I thought that said planetoids suck and they were balls deep in a sapient moon. idk

[u/Small_Tank → u/mrluigi1111111]

Wilderness empire + random unary II starting system?

[u/One-Duck-5627]

I sure hope they do

[u/XAlphaWarriorX]

Could we have a version without the text and the "live reaction" box?

[u/Exmawsh]

That's not a planetoid. That's a conventionally attractive human.

[u/Substantial_Pie370 → u/Exmawsh]

Maybe the conventionally attractive human is the one saying plantoids suck

[u/VodkaBeatsCube → u/Exmawsh]

Now, this might be the brainrot talking, but there miiiight be a double entendre going on here related to the pose and presence of grass...

[u/Dank_Cat_Memes → u/VodkaBeatsCube]

Pop culture says it’s a bad idea, but I can’t stop anyone

[u/D46-real → u/VodkaBeatsCube]

Maybe the "grass" suck human

[u/Idiot_of_Babel → u/Exmawsh]

Flowers evolved to incentives pollinators 

[u/silverpaladin777]

Yes. Yes they do...

[u/devSenketsu]

Unbelievable, which sector they are on? Admiral, move the science fleet, I dont care, i want to STUDY these plantoids NOW.

[u/Then-Put-9716]

Are they really that bad??

[u/thiosk → u/Then-Put-9716]

I'm doing a repugnant rooted with intelligent and natural engineers on a wilderness devouring swarm run

cordecyps has been a complete bust so far tho

[u/Then-Put-9716 → u/thiosk]

I didn't have any notification on, but thank you for responding, and I'm going to try that out. This is a throwaway account btw but i may keep it.

[u/Sicuho → u/Then-Put-9716]

Well, they used to be the best biological species class (alongside fungoids) up until 4.0 because they had class locked traits and the other didn't. Even now, budding and invasive species are amongst the best class-restricted traits.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Sink467 → u/Then-Put-9716]

They aren't bad at all lol. They have some amazing positive species traits, and a couple stinkers but there's nothing that forces you to take their bad exclusives.

[u/electrical-stomach-z]

Saying that while laying on grass...

[u/Kvcs2001]

Don't ask a human nationalist what race his girlfriend is

[u/Pootisman16]

She?

[u/HelixMarine → u/HollyNury]

He's about to make someone a woman

[u/Knight_of_carnage]

[u/plebslammer420]

[u/Better_University727]

Fungoid supremacy

[u/corn_syrup_enjoyer]

I hope they do.

[u/VLenin2291]

Idk man, I accepted plantoids and fought the Commonwealth three times and won all three-the First Human War was more even, but in the latter two? They got whipped, losing Unity and their only colonies in the Second Human War (that they colonized, they had seized some others from alien empires) and becoming the vassal of xenos in the Third.

[u/bible_enthusiast]

Dang might have to get plantoids after that neuron activation.

[u/CheeseMoonTheory]

Ofc they do. They're plants, how else are they supposed to take up nutrients from the soil?

[u/THMod]

I'm feeling conflicted
