Google said wild lettuce, if so would that be edible? It has pricks all over.

    I'm not ever going to sit here and tell you to eat something when I'm not 100% sure on the identity, but that certainly looks like one of many common edible weeds that are related to lettuce. They don't taste very good though

    Picture This (an app I use for plant identification) tells that is is:

    But what's the app's name? Picture This. I'm waiting! No that's the name of the app. What is? No that's the name of the player on second base.

    They had to come up with names for their other apps, so for mushrooms it was "Picture that".
    No, it wasn't, it was Picture Mushroom.
    And then Picture Insect came out - nice, they have some logic now!
    And then they released Rock Identifier :/

    Bristly oxtongue Helminthotheca echioides is more likely based on your description of the pricks.

    I'm going to settle for something from the Crepis family since I get that a lot where I live. I've never seen one with leaves this big though, that's what threw me off, most others get flowers way before.

    Anyways it's plucked now, as well as the other weeds that were around it. Overdue spring maintenance, we're going into summer and it would be much harder later.

    It looks like wild lettuce. Wild lettuce is good for pain relief and does not contain opium. Try to take a leaf off to identify it, reference https://feralforaging.com/how-to-identify-wild-lettuce/
