Plants Really Do 'Scream'. We've Simply Never Heard Them Until Now
Plants Really Do 'Scream'. We've Simply Never Heard Them Until Now
It seems like Roald Dahl may have been onto something after all: if you hurt a plant, it screams.
By contrast, stressed plants are much noisier, emitting an average up to around 40 clicks per hour depending on the species. And plants deprived of water have a noticeable sound profile. They start clicking more before they show visible signs of dehydrating, escalating as the plant grows more parched, before subsiding as the plant withers away.
someone smarter than me should get to inventing a device that listens to plant clicks and tells you when it needs water
Nah, the pops and clicks are just plant language for, "I give my consent to be your food. Namaste."
I hear the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (having their insides revealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)
How do you think that feels? (bet it hurts really bad)
Carrot juice constitutes murder (V8's genocide)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables grow)
We have to stop all this gardening (it's dirty as hell)
Let's call a spade a spade (a spade is a spade is a spade is a spade is a...)
Remember that Mythbusters (Episode 61 Deadly Straw) that re-created Cleve Backster's primary perception experiments to show plants can sense malicious intent and totally re-created his results? I had to re-watch it to make sure I was remembering correctly. They totally just alter the experiment until they break it, then sweep it under the rug and call it busted. Totally.
My phone also screams (signals) when someone calls, must mean my phone feels pain I guess.
so popping is the new screaming
Delicious screams. With butter.
