Did you know that plants scream?

[MementoMori777]

So new studies say that when plants are cut or ripped they make a noise that's at a frequency that can't be heard with our ears but it's proven that plants scream now, what are your opinions on this? I mostly wanna hear vegans opinions cause plants are living things too so now what? 😂

[goaded]

Have they proven that other plants "hear" their screams? Do they react in any way?

(I just saw a trailer for a vegan cookery program, the mother says "my daughter can't even boil an egg", she responds "of course I can't boil an egg, I'm vegan!".)

[MementoMori777]

No clue 😂

[goaded]

It's kind of an important distinction; paper makes a noise when you rip it, mud makes a noise when you step in it. Unless something reacts, it can hardly be called a scream.

[MementoMori777]

Humans reacted lol

[WindAtMyBack]

That's absurd. Just because something makes a sound doesn't mean you should apply a word like scream to it. You can't drop a rock on the ground and claim the sound it makes is "ouch".

[MementoMori777]

You can if it's known to be alive, how many rocks you know are alive? *facepalm* 😂

[WindAtMyBack]

It's just a sound. Of course it makes a sound. Pretty much everything makes some type of sound, which will vary under different situations. A plant has no vocal chords. It has no nervous system. It has no pain receptors. It's just a sound, and some people are trying to use a term which doesn't really apply. It implies something that's not true.

[MementoMori777]

It's not the snap, it's a different type of frequency

[MementoMori777]

One that you can't hear with human ears

[WindAtMyBack]

That's completely irrelevant.

[MementoMori777]

No it's not, how's so?

[4ngelic]

oh i knew that, kinda weird if you think about it. also when you cut them or injure them they bleed and let out smells to warn other plants that danger is coming. some species actually also talk to each other and have friends like trees.. lol

[MementoMori777]

You heard of the walking trees, theory, if that's true, they gonna start seeking revenge 😂

[purplepoppy]

Banana plants walk. Google it. So do some types of onion

[MementoMori777]

Thanks poppy for letting us know what plants to look out for lol

[Simslover92]

Lol I used to be vegan but not to the extreme of what some vegans are. Being preachy and judgy just wasn't my thing especially knowing that I'm essentially still killing a living thing.

[MementoMori777]

Oof yep but at least you aren't and weren't delusional lol

[Simslover92]

Lol nope definitely not

[jennifer_bloom]

The only thing humans eat that does not kill any living creature is milk. Even cheese uses animal fat as a binding agent.

[MementoMori777]

And sugar lol

[MementoMori777]

Maybe not tho

[jennifer_bloom]

But the sugar cane tree has to die for the sugar to be processed so you can eat it.

[MementoMori777]

Okay then beans, and grains, they are harvested not killing the plants right

[jennifer_bloom]

the plant dies when you chop it up with your teeth. The only thing that doesn't die is milk.

[MementoMori777]

I refuse to accept that jen 😂

[hiyamotherfers]

lol with the vegan thing. I'm kinda interested in this now because I have plants in my window. they are all named but that'd be kinda weird if they just started screaming

[MementoMori777]

Well as long as you aren't mistreating them then they shouldn't scream lol

[Juxtapose]

These vegan wackos love to feel morally superior but at the end of the day, if you don't subsist off of animal by-products that don't require anything to die like honey? Then you are a killer just like the rest of us.

[MementoMori777]

Yea they act like plants aren't alive lol

[Juxtapose]

"But they don't have a central nervous system."

Yeah, I bet some aliens would fucking kill them because they don't have some type of biological structure and don't view them as alive just like how they view plants.

[JoeMichael67]

The vegan movement is probably the biggest form of privilege we've ever witnessed. Let a vegan activist go to a third world country and lecture them on what they should and shouldn't eat.

[MementoMori777]

Lmao they would get killed most likely lol

[Spongebobssocks]

Damn this hurt me😭

Well either way imma keep eating.. I even eat meat so eh🤷🏼‍♀️

[MementoMori777]

Well mfs gotta eat right? Lol

[Spongebobssocks]

Yup🙃

I was vegetarian for 3 years before almost killed me lol.. meat is too good to give up👀😆

[MementoMori777]

Yea people that live off plants don't know what they are missing out on 😂

[Spongebobssocks]

.. yeah🤔😅

[exitseven]

So that is what I hear when I mow the lawn with a dull blade

[MementoMori777]

Seems like it bro, but they must not care cause they keep growing more lol

[PointTaken]

That study has been out for a long time. Since I was in high school. Which means I read about it in a newspaper in 1993

[MementoMori777]

So vegans just have no excuse lol

[PointTaken]

Lol. Either way they're killing life. It's not an animal but still life.

[MementoMori777]

Exactly, so now cause it doesn't move it's not the same value, if anything the fact that it's crippled should be worse No? 😂

[PointTaken]

Right? And how much of a fighting chance do plants get.

[MementoMori777]

Lmao none 😂

[Anonymous]

The studies aren’t all that new but yeah I knew that.

[MementoMori777]

It's new enough, you vegan? 😂

[Opinion Owner]

No not at all but I am a PETA member, People who Eat Tasty Animals.

[MementoMori777]

Lmao i was one as well and didn't even know

[purplepoppy]

So if they scream who's listening?

[MementoMori777]

Scientists are listening 🤓☝️

[purplepoppy]

If a tree falls in a forest and there's no one there to hear it, do the other trees laugh?

[MementoMori777]

Lol probably or maybe they bully it for all you know, not like it matters tho cause the tree is dead I think

[purplepoppy]

Plants live for ages once they're felled. That lettuce leaf in your sandwich is still alive.

[MementoMori777]

Well imagine how dry it would be if it was dead tho, like eating plant jerky lol

[Anonymous]

And my vagina.

[MementoMori777]

Technically you are the one screaming, not your vagina but sure lol

[Opinion Owner]

It makes a noise too

[MementoMori777]

Right that's a thing, I forgot
