i cheated at cookie clicker and immediately after getting to a quintillion cookies a dragonfly flew into my room and started ramming itself against my walls really fast and im fucking terrified of bugs so i had to wake up my grandma to take care of it. on mothers day. my grandmother had to get a bug for ME on MOTHERS DAY because im just that much of a pussy. sorry i dont expect you to see this but i think this will weigh on me forever if i dont confess what ive done. i have a heavy karmic debt i will never pay off from cheating at cookie clicker and that dragonfly was an omen. i think i have the plague

let this be a warning to everyone else.

also some plants can see. as it turns out. Shouldn't be surprising because they are literally covered in light sensitive cells that direct them toward sunlight, but, yeah, some of them have versions of those cells that can see in some fashion or another.

we found this out fairly recently (last 3 or 4 years) because the plant boquila trifoliolata can grow its leaves different shapes to mimmic the plants around it and we thought maybe they did it by touch or something so we did an experiment with no touching and ruled that out, and then we thought maybe it was some kind of pheromone thing or something but in another experiment it copied the leaf shape of a plastic plant, so

anyway plants can see. some only enough to tell where the sunlight is strongest, others... more than that.

Yeah Boquila trifoliolata is the mimic octopus of the plant world.

Examples of Boquila trifoliolata mimicking the leaves of other plants. Yellow arrows point to leaves of Boquila trifoliolata that are mimicking other species in A-G. Image H shows what Boquila trifoliolata leaves look like when they’re not mimicking other plants. Ernesto Gianoli/Trends in Plant Science

Also it's not just reacting to plant pheremones or something like that... it will mimic plastic plants.

Ever walk through a forest and get the sensation that you're being watched?

Maybe you are being watched.
