This makes me sad...So sorry to all the plants I murdered ???
paulhollywood9
The "scream" is not caused by pain,its caused by vibration of bubbles in the stem to communicate to other plants when there is no water.
myUsernameWasAlreadyTakenAndIHaveAcceptedMyFate
Considering the lack of a nervous system, I'm gonna call bs on that

This is why I only eat animals I personally killed with a tire iron
aubuc
Thats why I only eat things that cast no shadow

So we're clear, plants don't scream and only an asshole clickbaiter would frame it that way.

Amazing solution.

The nervous system is a thing, that's where the line is drawn
Targe0
The animal form of a nervous system.
paulhollywood9
Plants don't have a brain,pain receptors or nerves. Also they evolved with roots to stay in a spot.They however do talk to each other.
paulhollywood9
Also without plants being eaten,forget humans,no animal or fish will survive.

The smell of fresh cut grass is a stress pheromone
Sircowdog1
The sound is caused by cavitation in the xylem, not by emotional response to distress or pain.
MyNameIsRichardCS54
Keep telling yourself that, vegan!
RussianHackersAreMyExcuseForEverything
Beet is murder.
SingleWhiteMonkey
I told my vegan girlfriend this and she said, "There's a big difference between a chicken and a carrot."
noctarn
I just know I couldn't kill and butcher a cow myself, could barely do it to a chicken. I can't pay someone to do what I find traumatic
TippyTheTripod
I like telling people that the smell of fresh cut grass is because it's screaming
Targe0
You are not actually to far off with that, many plant comunicate with each other using chemical gas releases. So some scream with scents.
Felrian
No. Releasing gas is not equivocal to consious terror
Targe0
From an animal perspective, plants are a different form of life and thus have slightly different rules.
madmorf
Lots of microorganisms in water. Mass murder. Just sayin’.
FarkasMacTavish
No, they release a chemical that some animals find malodorous, and makes them stop eating it.
iFreilicht
It's actually a sound they're emitting: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/507590v4.full Pretty cool, but a far cry from "screaming".
FarkasMacTavish
Still seems like a deterrent to me.
CyanideBreathMint
Wtf? That's old LRon Hubbard pseudo science from the 60's.

“I’m not vegan because I don’t like eating meat. I’m vegan because I fucking hate vegetables.” someone on Imgur that one time
Imalwaysready
ha. I remember getting that as a "tagline" on an e-mail in the late 80s. been around forever. Sigh. I miss e-mail taglines...
TheDino
One time? Like every post where veganism is brought up.
slintbob
Really, I honestly saw it for the first time last week.
juicynibbler
Yeah, been around for awhile. You can still like that saying tho!
letstalkaboutSexism
Im vegan, even if that headline is correct, I don't care. Plants don't have sentience in any meaningful way
SuperPickle17
Neither do people.
Astaaroth
They don't have a central nervous system and with that no ability to feel anything.
Irejectyourrealityandsubstituteitwithmyown
Ah yes, as shown by sci fi author L. Ron Hubbard prior to creating scientology

CyanideBreathMint
It's an ultrasonic sound, spun into the word scream to garner more readers.
iFreilicht
Yeah that's quite annoying, it's very clickbaity in that way. But I think the basic results of the study are quite interesting.
Crowlands
To what end? Do the other plants go "Oh shit, better get away from whatever just injured Barry!"?
Pentacus
Iirc some plants will turn themselves bitter to discourage... predation(?) if they hear Barry screaming in pain.
NeynasGhost
Indeed! And also they will slow their growth so they have a reserve of energy etc to regrow if whatever got Barry takes a chunk out of them.
NeynasGhost
There's tea that is purposefully exposed to fungus/bugs because it will react by changing its makeup to repel them. Alters the taste. Also,
NeynasGhost
I had a biology teacher show us a lot of videos about studies that proved plants can identify close relatives -- trees supporting their own
NeynasGhost
saplings until they were tall enough to compete for sunlight, seedlings that grew slower in a pot with a sibling than an unrelated plant etc
NeynasGhost
I think one explained that the smell of fresh cut grass was a pheromone warning the other grass that something dangerous was there, so other
OhNoDontTouch
.
NeynasGhost
grass in range would slow its growth to shore up resources for regrowth if IT got bitten off, giving it a better chance to survive.

Very much so, my friend walked out after the first 5 mins once he realized it’s not for 5 year olds

Oh yes, that definititely happened, pretty sure it happened a lot.

Ah bullshit internet science
iFreilicht
Not quite, it seems pretty legit: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/507590v4.full But "scream" isn't really right, it's clicking.
vauhtihirmu
Anything's a scream if you're cowardly enough.

"This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review"

One unpeer reviewed article doesn't lend legitimacy. Anything can be published if payed for.

Vegans don’t make sense to me, I understand not walking to harm animals, but why stop eating things like honey?
UnrustleYerJimmies
They dumb.
WChandler2
There's been research that bees are severely stressed ("suffer") when their honey is taken IIRC.
Youhavinagiraffe
I've always found honey to be quite an odd one. I know several vegans who eat honey but not dairy products
Densteef
So they can tell everyone they are even more special then other people
hereigokillingagain
Depends on the reason why your vegan - I've usually found there are three main reasons; Ethical, Health, or Environmental. For me it's a...
hereigokillingagain
Mainly health and environmental as 80% of antibiotics in the US are used on livestock - it's a sure fire track to super immune strains....
hereigokillingagain
Of disease/virus. But I still eat Honey and consider myself vegan as the world needs more bees. Higher demand for honey = more bees.
ikilledvestein
Commercial bees are basically an animal monoculture marginalising various species of wild bee. One of the factors driving colony collapse.
atomiccheesegod
a ton mainstream vegan food is just processed oil/soy which they still cut down forests to plant
hereigokillingagain
Yeah unfortunately there are foods that do that but like with anything you can just not buy them. Mainstream foods are vegetables, beans etc
Matsuuu
Most soy is used for meat industry as animal food.

True, but you'll also feed a variety of other things, it really doesn't matter what you do, something has to die.

Nooooo! Don't die or else some life form might feed on you! Break the cycle and live infinitely just by absorbing light!

Youre saying autotrophs are life though... do you see the irony here?

you don't think plants are alive?
amop
No, i’m agreeing that they’re alive, but pointing out that they’re autotrophs. That means they don’t eat living things
NotWelcomehere
Venus fly trap is a plant...
amop
Not an autotroph though is it?
Velosh
So they don't get nutrients from the soil where bodies of living things have rotted?
Aaronbobaron
No, idiot. They eat Brawndo with electrolytes, it's what plants crave.

How did life start without life to eat at first? The elements that life was built from were already here.
