We made grains from grass. If you let most grasses get tall enough to seed, they look like green wheat.
Also I’m not certain, but wheat and corn may give grass a run for their money in acreage cover, if you count the wheat and corn as a single species, but count each specific grass separately.
If you go to Honolulu you’ll see them wandering on the streets. They’re all over the place. I think they’re seen as a nuisance? I dunno I thought they were charming.
On the other hand, being useful to humans have made them some of the most widespread and successful plant species on the planet.
Grass: is useless
Humans: “Growing a nutritionally useless plant demonstrates that Im so wealthy I can afford to waste arable land”
Grass: is now one of the dominant species on earth

Being useful to humans is the single most important factor in evolutionary success rates.
Sure, there’s 8 billion of us, but we collectively KILL 30 billion chickens every year, and there’s always more of those fuckers.
Will humanity ever get rid of chickens???
Hawaii hasn’t been able to get them off of one island so… No
Wait, are you telling me that Hawaii has wild chickens? Are we gonna have a Chicken War, like Australia did with Emus?
