MODERATORS
Lawns, specifically, the western preoccupation with having little plots of land that should not have viable ecosystems or edible food grown on them, just rectangles of chemical-soaked and constantly-mowed fuzzy green conformity.
It was to show off wealth wayyyyyyy back in the day. It was a message that said "I have land and I don't need to farm it! I have peasants do that elsewhere."
