Breaking: Plants have personalities, can communicate with each other and may be able to do arithmetic

What does this “Breaking News” may I ask, have to do with running beyond the torture endured by grass during XC races?

I guess we'll have to stop referring to people as vegetables in the future then.

Don't feel bad, rojo, you have a personality. So they only have you beat in two of the three areas.

I am not surprised. Have you not watched The Happening?

Also this!

I would not admit this publicly but I do believe there is a plant native to Borneo that may be sentient.

Yes but what are their PR's. The majority are pretty slow I think.

Not the Scarlet Runner.
Boom boom.

Karban and his team have found that communication among sagebrush plants is most effective early in the growing season, when the plants are growing actively and have the most access to water. As droughts become more severe and more common, plants may not be able to communicate as effectively and may be less able to defend themselves as a result....

In the past 15 years or so, thanks to advances in plant genetics and a new openness toward plant research once considered fringe, botanists such as Karban have found that plants produce and respond to complex chemical signals. They can detect the slightest touch. They know when they’re shaded by a cloud or a fellow plant, and whether that plant is related to them. Several species can recognize their genetic kin and rearrange their bodies to avoid competing with siblings. They can manipulate predators to do their bidding and transmit electrical signals among their roots. One paper suggests that some may perform arithmetic division to keep from starving at night, when they can’t perform photosynthesis.

This is why I regard vegans as plant murdering scum.

We are all living things.

Take some DMT, be blindfolded and then get someone to place in front of you a random series of plants or inanimate objects. You will sense the aura of the living things. Sounds nuts but its true. We've just (d)evolved to lose our connection .

Hippies and tree huggers are mostly a bunch of bellends but theres some truth behind their beliefs.

At least us carnivores have the empathy to kill our food before we consume it. Vegetarians literally consume the flesh of living sentient beings. Disgusting.

This is how it works: ;)

Good podcast a few years ago talked about the soil and fungi communicating over vast distances in these massive forests in Oregon

Yes the math. How many innocent plant lives are needlessly taken during a CC race? The science has spoken. We have to stop the murder of innocent plant lives. If it's a seed bulb(or any other unborn variant), it's ok. Time to stand up for that which cannot stand up for itself. No justice, no peace.

There's a book called- The Secret Life of Plants. Which is not to say I believe it.

The narrative that nature is dumb is something we are all brainwashed to believe so that we can more easily exploit it.

Did you know that the fungus growing in forests that connects the trees and plants all together is much like a brain's neural network? It allows the forest to exchange resources around to help plants grow that otherwise wouldn't be able to - such as trees growing deep in the bottom of a tall developed forest that don't get enough sunlight.

We as a human race need to immediately stop eating all plant, animal, fish, etc... based food. Humans can’t keep living our murderous life styles. We can only eat rocks
