Good news everyone! A species of prickly pear cactus (Opuntia polyacantha) can survive temperature as low as -46°C! So good news, almost everyone can grow nopales at home!

That's not true at all. Look at how well terfs in the uk have done by using her fame and money to normalize terf propaganda.

Unfortunately, jkr has real world power because how well her books did. She has also been almost always displayed in an "angelic" light by media. Which means everyone ignores that she is actively trying to hurt other people.
In case you are wondering, how she is wielding that power is awful. She's actively trying to make being trans in the UK illegal, this isn't hyperbole, read that manifesto she wrote. Every single positive trans legislation that's been considered she rallys against and puts her money towards hurting people. This is going on in Scotland right now, which by the way was only making the paperwork to transition legally have less bureaucratic nonsense and cost the government less.
Why should a children's author wield political power? Why should she have the right to negativity effect other people's lives? Her reach is negatively effecting far more people, yet I don't see you criticizing her at all. She makes the world worse.
How would you suggest these people make the world a better place? By just allowing their rights be steamrolled? It's very obvious to me that you've never had your right to exist be a subject of public debate.

They are all decended from like the same four hippos. They are inbred as all get out. Maybe not a good starting point for livestock.
