Plants what now

okay so apparently we just discovered that plants emit clicking sounds too high pitched for us to hear, and are noisy when they're stressed but quiet when content

There needs to be more research done into this, and as of now we can't say why the sounds happen but. WHAT.

I knew they could hear noises but apparently they MAKE noises too

Cats knocking over houseplants just got a lot more vindictive

SHUT UPPPP

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.

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

up to no good...

if anybody needs to hear it:

no matter how the media spins it remember that the US would rather watch the region burn than give up its little pet genocidal colonial ethnostate project

i think rice with things on it & also some sort of sauce is like basically the best food genre tbh

I can't make fun of him. I can't make fun of him. I can't make fun of him

I hate when people say ohhhh your pets only love you because you feed them. as if that wasn't the first form of love any of us felt. get real.
