I really hate shit like the first quote because willows are incredible trees. They’ve also been super useful to humanity for tens of thousands of years, from everything from baskets to aspirin. You can chop off a willow branch and stick it in the ground and it grows a new tree. Try that with oak (although oaks are also cool).
Whoever wrote that knows nothing about trees. They just thought, “bendy weak not-bendy stronk.” Oh not a modern, commercial timber species, must suck. Drives me nuts they pretend to be “men of the land” then say some stupid bullshit like that. It doesn’t make them sound hard. A stone age man could make a fishing net out of that willow that would feed his family for a year. Fuck outta here.
Agreed, and there’s a good chance that log is full of one thing spamming over and over, and the devs would love to know what it is.
