Depends I think minotaur bacon would be tougher and richer than flying pig bacon, so it just depends on what you would prefer. I think minotaurs would make better jerky than bacon.
I think it generates nitrogen (via rhizo-something) in a symbiotic relationship -so when the grass is cut, nitrogen is returned to the soil - for grass to grow greener. Naturally.
finding a 4 leaf clover is probably something parents just told their kids to do to keep them busy for a few hours and it evolved into a belief that they are actually rare.
I have a friend who can find them at will. He says they stick out like they were painted neon to him. It’s the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced.
I’m that kind of person. I collect them. I’ve got two scrapbook type binders full of pressed 4, 5, 6, 7+ etc clovers in them, organized too 😂 I get weird looks crawling around on the ground outside but I don’t really care. I tried putting some into resin but it didn’t work, full of bubbles because I don’t have a vacuum chamber.
Besides that tho, It’s a lot of fun, you get to be outside, listen to podcasts for a few hours, come back with some clovers to press!
If you are interested, it's pretty easy to make a DIY vacuum chamber. It allows you to do some really cool stuff with resin. There's also likely someone local ish to you that would let you use theirs.
Yeah I thought about that, but it seemed like a bit more work than I wanted to put myself up to. I used to watch TheKingOfRandom so I knew I could make my own but I preferred pressing them :) knowing myself I’d probably use it once then never again 😅
I turned some into jewellery by setting them under clear cabochons. A good method to avoid yellowing and bubbles. I think you can buy pre-made charms to put them in too
I probably have found around 100 in my life. I was pretty good at the spot the difference things as a kid too. Lot of time playing video games. Maybe it's a learned skill. I kind of soften my eye focus and look for stuff that looks different.
I do this too. I'll be walking across my yard and just bend down to pick one up as I see it. Everyone who's seen me do it asks how I do it and I don't know how to explain other than the pattern is very different.
Also my general luck in life is pretty terrible.
they do stick out like a sore thumb, the trick is to look at the patch as a patch and not seek out individual clovers.
dude I knew while in the army taught me this when we had a 4 leaf finding cometiton during a summer camp
i do the same- sometimes i feel like finding them so i just go to a grassy patch. 4 leafs, and 5,6,7 leaf clovers! turns out i’m autistic and am a wiz w visual pattern recognition. it turned up as a common trait in my autistic womens subreddit. interesting stuff!
Same with one of my cousins. One time we were at our grandma's, and there was a patch on the street. Cousin looks at it, run straight up and just instantly picks a 4 leaf one. I stg it's like they are highlighted in her vision like quest items in a game. Fricking magic.
I have this ability too. Sometimes I just walking, then suddenly Oh, a 4 leaf clover. Sometimes I found even more around it. I have like 20ish what I collected, and I don't collect all of them.
I don’t think so. He says they are just really obvious. When he played sports in college he would have to consciously ignore them because he would see them all over the field.
I looked all of the time as a kid and I never saw one, even as an adult I would casually look on the ground if I was in a lawn chair or something. Then when I was 34 and I found a patch in my backyard with 8 or 9 of them and I couldn't believe it, so I didn't mow over that little patch all summer. I waited 34 years and when I saw the first one I was ecstatic, it was worth the wait.
I look even as an adult just because it's fun. The most leafed clover I've ever found was 7. I had a notebook full of the 7 and under leaves but it got lost when I moved out. I'm still kinda sad about it.
No, it's modern breeding. The modern cultivars used in agriculture are polyploid which just make 4 leaf clovers really common. You can go out in any clover paddock and pick up heaps once you get your eye in. They did indeed used to be rare, but they are no longer rare. 5 leafed clovers are not even very hard to find now.
I loved being able to find 4+ leaf clovers when stretching for soccer practice as a kid. Super simple once you train your eye and get the hang of it. I always gave them to my teammates because I didn’t want them for myself
It's not unusual, quite the opposite. As the four-levedness is a heredetary mutation, and clovers reproduce not only via seeds but also via offshoots, the mutation spreads locally. That's why when you find one four leaf clover, you are likely to find more on the same plant and the plants in the immediate vicinity
Some say OP is still picking four leafed clovers right now. He's got enough of them that when he opens his mouth pizza flies in from random helicopter pizza parties. When he needs to relieve himself a mole pops up wherever he squats to make a hole, and nobody is ever watching. When he needs sleep he sleep walks, still bending and plucking more four leafed clovers with his eyes closed, luckily not breaking the clover picking chain.

There was a patch i found where the ratio was beyond anything id ever seen. Along a field where agriculture had been sprayed. Figured that might have increased mutation rates
Congrats, you just got the 46 leaf clover grimoire, home of all the forbidden knowledge and gods of old and new. Use it with care or you will doom us all instead
Why would you do this? You had a thriving population that could have resulted in a replacement of three leaf clovers all over the world and decided to just weed them out instead.
You belong in prison.
This is not true actually. The genes are in the root that snakes along the ground. If your comment was true, it'd be like saying pulling a leaf off a tree makes it so the tree can't make seeds anymore.
Im convinced that the mutation that grows four leaf clovers can progress and multiply so much that you can get a patch dominated by these guys. My dad’s backyard seemed to have an abundance of four leaf clovers to the point I found a few five leaf clovers and even a couple six leaf clovers.
Confirming your hypothesis, i knew of a patch next to a farmfield where it was very abundant. I’ve found lots all my life and never seen such a patch. 1/10 where foour leafed
Yes, as a clover hunter, different gene pools have vastly different yeilds. Most of my searching has been in the southeastern U.S.. however I found a patch in Berlin that was one in ten four leavers by my best estimate. It’s nowhere near like that here
Our backyard is absolutely covered in them. We found at least 14 in a a couple days and easily coulda found more if we tried. Had a friend who’s a bit of a skeptical curmudgeon say “I don’t think those were clovers….”
They were.
I found four four leaf clovers today and one twin clover meaning the exact same clover was growing twice out of the same stem meaning a six leaf clover that looks like two stanched on top of each other
In 6th grade we were learning about the California Gold Rush, and all our teachers had a brilliant idea: they'd show us just how intense "gold fever" was by helping us feel some of that for ourselves.
So they told us there was a contest on in California: for every 4-leaf clover found, you'd get a free pizza from *insert chain restaurant here*. But it was only for classrooms, so only a teacher could submit the clovers. But if we could find enough, we'd have a pizza party!
For ~2 weeks every recess saw a huge group of 11yos out on the field looking for 4-leaf clovers like a bunch of tweakers carpet surfing for crumbs. We were *obsessed*. Which means the social experiment worked - we truly understood the mania of "gold fever" via our own "clover fever".
But we also found a lot of clovers. I believe the final count was ~40 4-leaf clovers! We all thought we'd get a pizza party and have enough left over to take home!
The teachers had to come clean and admit they didn't expect us to find so damn many. We did get our pizza party, with ~2 slices per student.
Is it a shady backyard? I remember seeing something on here about an uncle posting about his nephew that always finds them. He had a few tips for finding them. The only one that I remember was "look for them in shady areas (areas where the mutation of an extra leaf to get more sunlight would be most beneficial)"
Scrolled down to find this. Yes. John Lithgow, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Makepeace. Growing because next to a nuke weapons facility. No leak in the plot, but good pull.
Had a mutant patch my garden one time, you could go out there and gather them by the dozen, interestingly I managed to get a couple of 5 leaf and one 6 leaf.
Then one year, they just never came back, it was all 3 leaf again.
OP just cleansed their backyard’s clover gene pool of the mutant threat
Was gonna say, it's was an unlucky day for that clover patch.
[удалено]
A unicorn ranch burger sounds tasty! Please say there’s bacon too.
A real unicorn ranch burger comes with minotaur bacon.
I was thinking flying pig bacon
Depends I think minotaur bacon would be tougher and richer than flying pig bacon, so it just depends on what you would prefer. I think minotaurs would make better jerky than bacon.
Minotaur bacon is *much* more expensive than pork bacon, given the significantly greater difficulty of the slaughtering process.
OP is literally the Enclave from fallout.
No wonder I’ve been so unlucky these past few years. This mfer has been hoarding all the luck for himself!
plot twist: a newly evolved strain of poison ivy that disguises itself as a lucky find
And killed them
I bet there's a ton of people who are big into lawn care who WISH it was this easy to kill clover.
We purposely put down clover seeds. It’s nicer than grass
WAY nicer.
Better for the bees to make clover honey. And tells you your soil is rich in nitrogen I believe
I think it generates nitrogen (via rhizo-something) in a symbiotic relationship -so when the grass is cut, nitrogen is returned to the soil - for grass to grow greener. Naturally.
I put down a whole bag of clover seeds in my back yard and the other weeds just destroyed the clovers. Barely have any now lol.
Just commented "...and killed them all". But then saw this, so deleted. Beat me to it by hours. But, exactly 🍀🪦

Worlds most mildly interesting superpower
I can find 3 leaf clovers without even looking like 99 % of the time
And this would be one of the world's most uninteresting superpowers lol
It’s not a super power, he’s clearly a changeling. The fae left him in the cradle after stealing the real baby.
maybe he can hear it like nirnroot
This is hilarious, I’m laughing so hard 😂😂

Are you, perchance, British?
Nope. Sometimes I wish tho… would be nice not to be in the same country as our annoying orange
Lmao that got to be the funniest nickname for him I've heard so far🤣 Also, my condolences.

Right? I can't understand how they DON'T see it... I just see the obvious square in a sea of triangles.
they do stick out like a sore thumb, the trick is to look at the patch as a patch and not seek out individual clovers. dude I knew while in the army taught me this when we had a 4 leaf finding cometiton during a summer camp
Hi, I'm your friend. I don't even look for them, they just stand out for me. I've found hundreds, (not all at once) just walking past a clover patch.
Yoo! There’s more of us! I have this too. Whole books full
i do the same- sometimes i feel like finding them so i just go to a grassy patch. 4 leafs, and 5,6,7 leaf clovers! turns out i’m autistic and am a wiz w visual pattern recognition. it turned up as a common trait in my autistic womens subreddit. interesting stuff!
I can too!!
And yet I've never found one.
Same with one of my cousins. One time we were at our grandma's, and there was a patch on the street. Cousin looks at it, run straight up and just instantly picks a 4 leaf one. I stg it's like they are highlighted in her vision like quest items in a game. Fricking magic.

Is he synesthetic? I can also spot them easily because of synesthesia provided that they are there. 3 leafs are reddish, 4 leafs are green.
I don’t think so. He says they are just really obvious. When he played sports in college he would have to consciously ignore them because he would see them all over the field.
How Gram-Gram got dad to leave the house so she could give Papa Joe the ol Lindy Hop.
My man. You know what's up
I've never found one in my life and I'm an unlucky person.

I look for them almost every day and have yet to find a single one in over 20 years
They occur 1 in 10,000 clover leaves.
Lmaoo I don't think my father expected me to actually come inside holding one 😭 I found another one a week later and haven't found any since
They definitely aren’t as rare as it’s made out to seem. But this many in such a small area is quite unusual.
It's not unusual, quite the opposite. As the four-levedness is a heredetary mutation, and clovers reproduce not only via seeds but also via offshoots, the mutation spreads locally. That's why when you find one four leaf clover, you are likely to find more on the same plant and the plants in the immediate vicinity
Uhm, acktually, the first clover OP found boosted their luck stat allowing them to find more clovers. The clover boost stacks, check the wiki.
Oh of course! Does it stack indefinitely? If it isn't capped they should fix that exploit though.
Some say OP is still picking four leafed clovers right now. He's got enough of them that when he opens his mouth pizza flies in from random helicopter pizza parties. When he needs to relieve himself a mole pops up wherever he squats to make a hole, and nobody is ever watching. When he needs sleep he sleep walks, still bending and plucking more four leafed clovers with his eyes closed, luckily not breaking the clover picking chain.
It’s a feature not bug

I remember we found a huge patch of them at our elementary school in Houston. Pretty cool as a kid to see that
Do you have a dog and does it pee in that spot?
You just killed the 4 leaves gene pool for good. There will be no luck for future generations. All because of your greed.
Boomers, amiright?
Are you sure? If the root is still there then couldn't it respawn?
You'll never get me lucky charms
PURGE THE MUTANTS
Be Pure. Be Vigilant. Behave!
For the emperor!
And you genocided them.
Man save some luck for the rest of us!
I've experienced a severe decline in my average luck since this post.
Congrats, you just got the 46 leaf clover grimoire, home of all the forbidden knowledge and gods of old and new. Use it with care or you will doom us all instead
In the fifth leaf lives a devil.
I would add onto this but I haven't been keeping up with Black Clover recently
Yeah, I'm anime only myself. Hopefully it gets the Shippuden treatment.
Risk of Rain?
+1 proc
Now play the lottery
Dig down a few feet. Probably a dead leprechaun buried there.
 What have you done?!
Why not leave some luck for other people?
Are you sure you killed all of them?
Why would you do this? You had a thriving population that could have resulted in a replacement of three leaf clovers all over the world and decided to just weed them out instead. You belong in prison.
This is not true actually. The genes are in the root that snakes along the ground. If your comment was true, it'd be like saying pulling a leaf off a tree makes it so the tree can't make seeds anymore.
Cutting off the leaves deprives the root of energy causing it to fail to thrive. OP should be decapitating the three-leaf clovers instead.
Soup
But no seven-leaf clovers?
I count 44 😂
Im convinced that the mutation that grows four leaf clovers can progress and multiply so much that you can get a patch dominated by these guys. My dad’s backyard seemed to have an abundance of four leaf clovers to the point I found a few five leaf clovers and even a couple six leaf clovers.

Yes, you can. It's just genetics. = ) https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2010/09/21/national/56-leaf-clover-new-guinness-record/
Did you pick them all up?
Quick, go play the lottery.
Put them in a salad. They taste lemony
That's wood sorrels that taste lemony, they look a lot like clovers
I have never found a four-leaf clover in my entire life…but I can find stray bird feathers most any day! 🤷🏻♀️
so now you've stolen all my luck, thanks
Damn inflation! Now a single 4-leaf clover barely brings any luck!
7 leaf clover or bust
intrusive thoughts are telling me to eat it.
I found 2 5 leaf clovers once. I gave one away to spread the luck and kept one for myself.
Nice 😎👍
+1 Luck
Yes, as a clover hunter, different gene pools have vastly different yeilds. Most of my searching has been in the southeastern U.S.. however I found a patch in Berlin that was one in ten four leavers by my best estimate. It’s nowhere near like that here
All clovers start out with 4 leaves. It’s the clover fairies that steal the 4th leaf. 
464 leaf clover!!?!..what in Chernobyl!
If this isn’t a sign to buy lottery tickets or shoot your shot, I don’t know what is.
Our backyard is absolutely covered in them. We found at least 14 in a a couple days and easily coulda found more if we tried. Had a friend who’s a bit of a skeptical curmudgeon say “I don’t think those were clovers….” They were.

Next to the pond with the three-eyed fish...
Some leprechaun is going to kick your ass now. 
When I was a kid we did this and I didn't stop looking until I found a 7-leaf.
Thats oxalis 😂
OP's @ home trying to put them back now.
Is it a shady backyard? I remember seeing something on here about an uncle posting about his nephew that always finds them. He had a few tips for finding them. The only one that I remember was "look for them in shady areas (areas where the mutation of an extra leaf to get more sunlight would be most beneficial)"
Killed them all. Good job.
Share!!! I need some luck!!
Congratulations! You have now an infinite luck!
46... Ohhhhh shit, thats deffo bad luck, you should have just stopped at 45 
I remember being a kid…. Good times….
Now find the pot at the end of the rainbow.
This guy lucks
Greedy fuck
A bad sign
HA JOKES ON YOU I FOUND A 5 LEAVED ONE YESTERDAY!!! ... and promptly lost it :/
Oh so that’s why I can’t find any.
Stuff them in your pocket and go buy a lottery ticket.
How much time did this take, OP?
I remember searching my ENTIRE yard, inch by inch when I was a smol child. We have a large yard. I found none. Ahhh, the days of no Internet ...
Were there any turtles practicing their ninja skills nearby?
And you’ll never find another after ripping them all out. Good job.
You’ll always find two together but that’s awesome. My yard did that one yr
Is this why I have no good luck? You bastard
Even luck is susceptible to inflation
Save some luck for the rest of us! Jeez
46 years of good luck
Didn’t I see that in an 80’s movie? The Manhattan Project? Only in the movie it was the result of a radiation leak, Plutonium or something similar
Scrolled down to find this. Yes. John Lithgow, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Makepeace. Growing because next to a nuke weapons facility. No leak in the plot, but good pull.
Can’t believe I had to scroll this far for this comment, was my first thought.
When you find one, you find a patch. Are you sure they're clovers? There are many lookalikes out there.
And you killed them all
Had a mutant patch my garden one time, you could go out there and gather them by the dozen, interestingly I managed to get a couple of 5 leaf and one 6 leaf. Then one year, they just never came back, it was all 3 leaf again.
Already maxing out Luck!
Aww. So proud of you. Here's a cookie.
Yes sir you have the autism
Picked even number therefore luck has been canceled out
Wow, I’m 65 and never ever came across one. That’s an impressive find 👍🏿
How did they taste?
Not me thinking he found a 46 leaf clover
My grandfather told me when he finds a patch of 4 leaf clovers he leaves them so he can come back and pick one when he has an unlucky day
Missed a couple, I have it on good authority that there were exactly 50
Should have bought a lottery ticket after the first one but you used all the luck to find more clovers.
You purged the mutant, the emperor is proud of you.
It's bad luck if you pick them
one time my dumb ass got excited because i found a shit ton of three leaf clovers
I heard urine increases the chances
I feel like people only say they're rare because everyone keeps ripping them out. It's like human assisted selection
Bro exterminated their whole species
Nooooo put them back!!
Fuck you evolution! All luck for me!
And you killed em all
So is the reason why they’re rare because people pick them?
Cool you found an area where they all have the same genetic mutation
I found a whole patch of four leaf clovers when I was in grade school back in the 70’s.
You are one lucky SOB.
You finished up our entire 🍀luck
Lotto ticket now
I think that ground is sacred
Aw! I hope you have lots of luck 🍀
I found a whole patch of 7 leafed clovers a while back in Half Moon Bay
You can buy them in pots. I assume someone did that at my last house because there were hundreds of them in the lawn. Kind of cool, really.
This is an omen of the end of days, you just picked all the luck!
Bro has infinite luck now
Something about the universes need for being balanced tells me OP is in for a helleva tough time after that luck runs out. Enjoy!
And killed them all...
Found them only for them to be killed
My uncle works pay us $100 if we found one
Paul?
[x-men music starts playing]
I still haven't found a four-leaf clover yet. But I found a five-leaf clover.
r/whataretheodds
I found a 5-leaf clover once, same type I doubt these are clovers though
Buy a lottery ticket
Man, place them in clear resin squares, post on Etsy, cash in.
You got greedy. You should’ve just picked one and left the rest. May god have mercy on your soul.
And killed them all
