    Damn it, why did you have to use a photo of a black couple when you’re talking about STDs? It would have been better if you had used several couples of different races. But you kept going back to that same black couple as if you are making a statement. They do the same thing in commercials about STD medication and it makes me angry.

    plants feel pain & pretty much scream when being peeled, heated or eaten. They release chemicals to alert surrounding plants.

    I like to burn my plants in a teeny tiny bowl and then inhale the fumes!
    I’m such a monster!
    Why am I laughing???
    Related question? Do oreos scream when you twist them in half or am I going deaf?

    1:59 are they talking about the cells crackling from pressure and structure change? Wouldnt that technically be the sound of anything under stress?

    Reminds me of “The Great Vegetable Rebellion” episode of _Lost in Space_. But those plants made _audible_ sounds. And yes, it’s the one with Stanley Adams (who also played Cyrano Jones in “Tribbles”) in a carrot suit.

    Roald Dahl wrote a short story, “The Sound Machine”, which appeared in The New Yorker in 1949. It featured an inventor who made a device that detected ultrasonic sounds emitted by plants when they were injured.

    With its short arms, a T-Rex could theoretically play the trumpet or saxophone, but a flute or trombone is out of the question.

    Eat that vegans. Ignorant to assume a plant can’t have feelings too. Just accept it and eat what you like without crying about what others eat.
