>Pavlov's plants? Research suggests animal learning in veggies
I long suspected all living things have a very basic form of awareness, so it was kind of mind-blowing to see this confirmed experimentally.
Most lifeforms, it seems, must kill in order to live themselves. (Except of course those lifeforms which use photosynthesis.) Take that, vegans.
Landon Anderson
Is this not within the realms of statistical probability? There is only two options after all; the left and right forks of the Y.
Elijah Kelly
I'd like to see this experiment repeated and adapted for slime molds.
Cooper Cruz
This says nothing about "awareness" at all, and if it does, than you've got yourself a very weak form of awareness that really needed no experimental confirmation. Yes, all organisms respond to stimulus. There's some middle-school level biology class info for you.
Jack Diaz
>all organisms respond to stimulus This wasn't designed to show that plants respond to sunlight. This was to show they can be trained to respond to stimuli they would not normally respond to, by associating them with other stimuli that they normally would respond to. That's learning.
Levi Wright
goddamnit shut the fuck up and stop reading articles that say shit just because some dumbass met some scientist and said
"SOOO, LIKE, PHILOSOPHICALLY UMM, THE SUN IS THE MOTHER OF ALL HUMANS"
Zachary Howard
so if you shared this info with a hardcore vegetarian would they by forced by their superior morality to starve themselves to death?
If so I may be saving this for later.

>not understanding the sustainability impacts of eating animal products >not understanding that more plants are killed to feed animals to feed humans than would be killed just to feed humans
i think you failed basic thermodynamics if you cant comprehend this
also cool research! ty

Why is everyone on the internet such a nattering naybob of negativism >post something about stuff >EVERYTHING IS WRONG, I AM WOULD DO ALL THE STUDIES BETTER, THIS MAKES ME LOOK INTELLIGENT
Lucas Jones
The less popular boards like Veeky Forums harbour this behaviour less.
Why did you reply to the one shitpost anyway?
Dominic Wilson
Got my goat for some reason. Every once in a while I get sick of seeing it all over the place. Thankfully not so much here, as you say.
Matthew Jenkins
because he/she/trans/etc./gender pronoun they (please dont call police/fbi/peta/sjw's on me) knows he/she/trans/etc./gender pronoun they (please dont call police/fbi/peta/sjw's on me) is wrong. People engaging in retarded behavior like OP's post is in general bad for society. for ex. hurr durr is the marijuana like totally not a drug dude because like its from the earth
is a philosphical and therefore valid question
HOWEVER
OP's post "I long suspected all living things have a very basic form of awareness" makes a bold and assertion and then sources an article thats meant to be clickbait and by some journalist who read some science paper and was high on lsd or some shit.
Bentley Scott
God you're dumb. There is about a million articles in the main stream press about this right now. Take your pic. This was just one.
Jace Mitchell
>mainstream press Oh, you mean the press who is paid money for grabbing viewers?
Ok, you know what. You're right.
HEY EVERYBODY PLANTS CAN SEE YOU, THEY CAN LEARN PLANTS MURDER, THEY ARE AWARE
EVERYBODY, PLANTS ARE AWARE OF THEMSELVES PLANTS ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD PLANTS ARE AWARE, THEY KNOWWW THINGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

PLANTS
DO THEY DESERVE HUMAN RIGHTS?

Get a load of this retard.

don't joke user this is how shitty movies get made

Irrelevant, 1/3 of all food is thrown away already. We have no shortage of food whatsoever.

It's time to stop shitposting kiddo
