There’s also a Larry Niven sci fi novel that sort of revolves around potassium in many points of the story. I really like it, I’ve re-read it a few times.
Woah, that looks really cool
Niven in general is an excellent writer and a great worldbuilder, I highly recommend pretty much all of his works.
Is that the spreckles story?
E: speckles. Yep. Went on a Niven binge for a while. This and Legacy of Heorot are good classic scifi.
I don’t get the meme 😭
I’m guessing it’s because (a province in?) Canada is threatening to withhold potash shipments to the US if Trump’s tariffs go into effect. Potash is a fertilizer.
I see. If I remember, it’s more than that, we extract potassium from it for a lot of different usage. But yeah Potassium rich soil is a common fertilizer.
Potash is forever
K!
I see what you did there
is this where I get my daily scheduled astroturf?
Yes
That’s just brick dust.
Excuse me, it’s the bountiful harvest
Mmm, potash. Best when boofed.
But what is potash?
High potassium fertilizer, if I recall.
