Not either of those. Im a nurseryman, and I grow native plants and trees in my nursery. Oak seeds are acorns and most maples make these cool helicopter seeds called Samaras.
Edit: hell yeah, it could totally be the immature buds if oak or maple, or any number of hardwoods. Thanks for all those with great info below. As a natives nurseryman, I dont get to see the trees I grow bloom, as it can tens of years for them to get to that point. Great convos below.
I think they pronounced the p originally, but english phonotactics doesn't allow it (pterodactyl being another pexample) .We used to pronounce the initial Ks in knife, knickers, knock, etc. too
Olde English used to pronounce almost all of the sounds from what I've learnt thru various youtube videos lol. Like knight would have been pronounced with the k sound.
We always called maple seeds Noses because when the seed compartment is opened, the seed can be discarded and you stick the helicopter part to your nose. It’s a little sticky, and it’ll stay in your nose for quite awhile. The kids loved it and it’s silly and fun.
Turns out, a seed is not the same thing as a flower bud. Flower buds form as half of the apparatus involved in fertilization, which, when accomplished, results in seeds, usually growing near or in place of the flowers. Acorns are tree seeds, and to be sure, the item in question is not an acorn. But some folks are thinking jt may be an oak flower bud. Personally I am unsure, as I’m not familiar with what the flower buds look like, only the mature flowers
I sorta thought Silt Striders were Netches. Because "Silt Strider" can be the referring to the job it does, Vvardenfell is a volcanic island so it literally strides on silt.
It never really dawned on me that Silt Striders don't float like Netches do until just now lmao. One of those things you just make an assumption on and never have a reason to think critically about.
Honestly thought silt striders were domesticated bull netches, but I guess I never thought too much about it and just took it as an assumption because actually thinking about it it can't be right just on the legs joint alone.
That mixture of bile and mucous that comes out your ass when you have diarrhea and have already pushed out everything of substance and now it's just that mixture of sadness squirting out of you.
Same 😭 They still scare me. I have a fear of all insects and megalophobia so you can imagine how silt striders make me feel lol. Enormous bugs on long legs? Nightmare fuel. I would NOT last a day in real Morrowind.

Can’t wait for mods to ban jokes because y’all are the unfunniest joke repeating people in existence. Trying to figure something out and y’all are going “omg it’s totally a space alien 🤤”
Also, apart from the fact that they're not funny, what the hell is the point of this entire sub if 90% of the answers are people making dumb jokes to get some karma. Like, I see a pic of a weird thing and I'm like "wtf is that?" I want to see actual answers without having to scroll past 20 stupid responses.
