If I remember correctly the company that gave him permission to use vantablack never gave him the ownership of it.

So presumably Amish couldn't do anything personally about it.

Pretty sure vantablack was patented not copyrighted. It's also possible that is wasn't either and just was really hard to produce. Afaik vantablack isn't really designed to be be painted and requires quite specialised equipment.

I usually convert the image using FFMPEG and that works great.

Is really super meat boy "niche" anymore, lol.

Okay fair enough. But it's different elsewhere.

Grass fields are extremely natural here. There is often also grass under the trees but that depends on the types of trees and how dense they are.

Yeah, let's not kill an entire class of native plants and replace it with artificially introduced plants. That's gonna go perfectly well because human intervention like that usually goes so well.

I have personally seen cows and goats go out of their way, crossing several hectares of pasture, to consume whatever non-grass vegetation they could find (often baby fruit trees) rather than eat the grass available to them.

Well duh. Of course they prefer to eat something else once in a while after eating grass all day.

I'm all for planting more native other plants in gardens or whatever and maybe some more native plants in nature. But ripping up an entire native ecosystem that has been there for millions of years because you dislike it is utterly deranged.

Do you seriously think that lawns are the only grasses?

Do you live in a desert or something?

Grass grows in the wild everywhere. Have you never every in your life been in a field or a forrest or even outside a city or a suburb?

Yeah, because fuck biodiversity.

Let's just kill all the native grass and plant the "best" plant everywhere because it's objectively "better".

You think grass came from an alien planet or something?
