What does it sound like when doves cry?
You mean Democrats..........
The only thing left to eat will be dirt. But there are micro-organisms in dirt!
Hindus will be aggrieved..................
While “screams” is a human term and is an anthropomorphic projection of human “feelings” to a non-animal life form’s reaction to “stress”.
While yes, ALL LIFE wants to live, and ALL LIFE seeks to continue to live, and yes there is nothing “wrong” with the idea that other life forms, like plants, have reactions to things that “stress” their ability to live.
And, the combined molecular reaction to that stress within the life can possibly create vibrations of certain molecules in the plant which could be detected in the form of sound waves.
So, yes, plants can get “stressed” and can react to “stress”, and MAYBE such stress can POSSIBLY create molecular changes that can POSSIBLY produce sound above or below wavelengths that humans can identify. Nothing unnatural about the idea.
But supplying human or even animal emotions to it has no scientific foundation.
My late husband used to mock vegetarians by saying...don’t you hear that carrot scream when you pull it out of the ground? Then you aren’t listening!
He was absolutely correct. Even if their sounds are inaudible, you CAN pick up on plant distress if you pay attention.
The Trees
Rush
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
And they’re quite convinced they’re right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream ‘oppression!’
And the oaks, just shake their heads
So…
The Screaming Trees...
Sorry, left off the last verse:
So the Maples formed a Union
And demanded equal rights
‘The Oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more Oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw…
That’s going to really burst their bubble.
Maybe they just need to move on to living off light.
My lawnmower drowns it all out.
Guess the PETA-philes will just have to eat dirt now. WAIT! Even that has living organism in it! Guess they’ll just have to starve. Pity. But it’s for the earth anyway.
....three......two......one......
Dirt? Betp O’Rourke is already there!
No wonder I have been yelling at my veggies to shut up when I go to eat them. Who knew?
Read a book in the ‘70s entitled, “The Secret Life of Plants”. They hooked a plant to a galvanometer and then boiled brine shrimp across the room. They got a reading.
