I asked ChatGTP the following question:
Q: is there a particular cuss word that works best on cheat grass? Disregard, I am teasing you.
A: If there is, the cheatgrass has probably evolved immunity to it by now.
My understanding is that the most effective protocol is:
1) Spot cheatgrass.
2) Utter a carefully selected profanity.
3) Pull cheatgrass.
4) Discover three more plants hidden under the first one.
5) Upgrade profanity.
6) Repeat until sunset.
Cheatgrass seems particularly good at triggering the "I got every last one" delusion, followed by the "where did those come from?" realization two weeks later.
