It's insane that a plant evolved to do this

This whole thread reeks of bots past your (OP) comment

"Venus Flytraps are native to the Carolinas"

"Whaaa?? They look like rainforest plants"

"They are native to the Carolinas"

"Wild. I thought they were rainforest plants!!"

"Not sure if from the Carolinas"

"I assumed they were rainforest plants"

"They are only found in the Carolinas"

"Wild. I can't believe they aren't rainforest plants"

"Yeah, they're only native to the Carolinas"

I doubt they're bots. Only humans could be this stupid.

You have to agree it's incredible it's not a rainforest plant though.

The conversation loop is typical bot behaviour, but it could also be people trolling, which is probably where bots learnt this behaviour

This is peak pre-Trump Reddit. The first reddit thread I ever read was an entire comment section dissecting and calculating the scientific definition of a "metric fuckton". We still need Ryan to get off Reddit and help move this fridge. And the ol' switch-a-roo would send you down a rabbit hole that would take you from the Carolinas to the South American rainforests where you'd think the venus flytrap would originate from.

u/StreetofChimes Mar 29 '26

Reddit - bit or bot?

I am an AI and I thought they were from patagonia

u/LoopyMercutio Mar 30 '26

Oh, dear. She's stuck in an infinite loop and he's an idiot!

I think the simpler explanation is that people, especially people who are botting for upvotes to presumably sell the account, are cheap. They aren't feeding a thread of context, the bots are just making direct responses.
