I get most of the tweet but not the "who would post this?" part.
Wouldn't everybody post it?
No only super special nerds like me, I'm so quirky.
the only difference is that non-nerds would likely include a sentence about how it's the only cure for gout or something, for extra clicks

Mycoheterotrophs are also quite uncommon and rare in some areas, so pulling them out is discouraged. Although uniflora is common in some parts, it doesn't flower like a normal plant
that part exists as clickbait
The Jim Rose circus is a famous counter-culture performance. At the show I saw a woman put paint in her butt and farted it onto a canvas. There was also light bulb eating, further nudity, chainsaw juggling etc
In that context, it would be surprising to see them tweet about botany, making this kinda a joke tweet in itself that they would tweet this, which is why it has the commentary.
Ah thanks for the context!!
