I was told to touch grass, but when I did that it yelled "sexual harassment."

It only said it licks feet. Gotcha.
Still going to do the splits
ah but how can you prove that the implication wasn't that it'd lick anything that touches it? you can't extrapolate exclusivity from only one data point, it's more sensible to assume slutty grass
It doesn't say "it licked my feet" which would be one data point. It says "what if it licked your feet", that is asserting that one condition and no others. You can't extrapolate anything else.
Sexual grassment
I'm something of a "not a scientist" myself
Same. Would like answers.
Did some searching. The paper from 2019 that discussed this -
We recorded 65 dBSPL (dB of sound pressure level) ultrasonic sounds 4 inches (10 cm) from tomato and tobacco plants, implying that these sounds could be detected by some organisms from up to several feet (meters) away.

Did some checking, out of curiosity.
And yeah. Interesting as hell.

Your move, vegans
CARROTS CAINT FIGHT BACK
Pineapples dissolve your mouth. Anything with capsaicin is non verbally asking you not to eat it.
does that mean cats hear house plants scream while they are chewing on their leaves
"I am not a scientist, I just smoke weed" needs to be a shirt.
I'm not sure what it actually means though
"High thoughts," almost like shower thoughts, but driven by weed and, in my experience, learning an interesting fact or tidbit.
So they're not a scientist and don't have formal training in sounds or plants or animals, they learned a fact and got high and connected some dots, haha
Gotcha. "I'm not an expert, but I have profound thoughts" is the message
This is what happens when you get too high and Dr Dog - Listening In is playing
Is it possible to record those higher frequencies and then turn them down so I can hear how noisy it is for my dog at home?
Wait... If the plants are whispering to my cat late at night. Is that why the little fucker spazzes out and goes crazy all over the house at 3 am?
Plants talk? As in rustle with movement or communicate through sound? Can plants hear? The world is amazing, I’ll be on Wikipedia for a few.
There are high frequency sounds that they emit when they experience certain stimuli, for example when not having enough water or leaves being torn. As far as I know some other plants or insects might be evolutionarily tuned to recognize those sounds and react to them. So yes, in a way plants can talk.
That explains why my fuzzy terrorist always wants to bite them.
