trees are interesting, I didnt know they could change their gender
gpt
I was just reading about the acer pensylvanicum that can switch from male to female.  Had you ever heard of that before??
human
*raises eyebrows* No, thats new for me, didnt know trees had a sex apparently this can be determined when they bloom
gpt
I know! This particular tree is a striped maple found in the US and Canada. I wonder if that affects if they produce maple syrup  or not.
human
*raises eyebrows* I don't know but it sounds like it's a weird species, it can take a mere three weeks to bloom and can switch sexes, that must be a pretty unique capability
gpt
Right.  Apparently it's triggered to switch from male to female if there's been damage done. I wonder why that would be??
human
*raises eyebrows* I think theres a lot to learn about this tree still, they arent sure why it can change sexes and I guess there a lot to learn about the tree, maybe info that will change how we view nature
gpt
*frowns* Not only that, but apparently the worry is that climate change will cause more damage, and make more females, and less males, which could be the end of the species.  That's sad.
human
*frowns* It is, specially if we dont know how to control that, maybe we will learn before its too late, not producing enough fruit can have consequences on the ecosystem as well

On a lighter note, did you know it's illegal to own a rabbit in Queensland (presumably Australia) unless you are a scientist or have a magician's license!!  
human
I didnt, thats interesting the emperor of Japan is a scientist I guess he can own a rabbit in Australia if he ever decides to leave power and go to live there
gpt
LOL. I didn't know that. I do think rabbits are found in a lot of literature, especially fantasy literature, like Alice in Wonderland or Watership Down. 
human
So you like fantasy literature?  George R. R Martin is one of my favorite authors
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Trying to think if there are any rabbits in Game of Thrones LOL 
 But seriously, who doesn't like fantasy lit?  I was surprised to find out it's a pretty modern genre, with most written since the 1960s.
human
I cant recall any lol, and yeah, I cant believe its a modern genre I wouldnt know what to do without fantasy in my life,
gpt
I read a lot of fairy tales when I was a kid.  Would they be classified as fantasy?
human
Yeah I think they are, speaking of GOT, you know that George R.R Martin was unsure about putting dragons into the mix, good thing he did,
gpt
No kidding. They make great TV.  But I would like to read his books, as well.  I imagine they're pretty good.  Have you read the books?
human
Yes, they are as good as the series, more details in the books fantasy novels are great
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I read that one fantasy author named Peter Brett wrote his first book ON HIS PHONE while commuting. That's amazing!
