Mowing my lawn must be a fucking nightmare for everything involved. ☹️

Imagine if instead of a podcast or audiobook or symphonic power metal you had to listen to the screams of your lawn as you mowed its life short

It gets worse -- that doesn't kill the grass. It just mutilates it.

That's what the fresh cut grass smell is.

You know why freshly mown grass smells so nice?
The smell is the grass's defense against grazing animals, as it attracts predators.
It smells nice cause it tells your predator brain there are prey animals you can eat nearby.
So the grass is literally snitching on the animals that are eating it, announcing their presence to their predators.

Evolution is fascinating that way.
