How long before we have people claim that people with plants that don’t care to listen and respond to these cries, are evil?

The Ents go to war
What was it based on? Not this most recent study.
Why? Who are they calling to for help exactly? Other plants are in no position to help out. Animals other than humans don't care and couldn't help anyway.
Academic stupid had reach and surpassed critical sustainability.
Hmmm. I guess I was mistaken. I thought they yelled, “TIM-BER”! I could have sworn that when that tree began to topple over I heard a voice yell, “TIM-BER”! Oh well. Wrong again. What else is new?
“Apparently, an idyllic field of flowers can be a rather noisy place,”
Idyllic for whom?
Do plants also sing when they’re doing well?
Apparently, according to Cleve Backster, his lab work was subject to the scientific method. But, according to Cleave, he had the technology early (1960’s) but like early technology, mostly mocked.
Knew Cleve for many years before he passed. Interesting guy, not at all a ‘psychic Cloe’ kind of guy.
A repeat of old OLD news from 55 years ago. Remember when plants were found to have emotions back then? If you wired them, the pulled one up and tore it to pieces the other plants would register hysteria like feelings.
Others trace it farther back to the late 1800s.
Many sat it was just a joke to see how many fools were out there to believe it.
I like the way lettuce crunches when I eat it.
Oh, so like bugs don’t have feelings?
Reportedly, some plants, when alerted by others under attack or stressed, can use the time to spike the amount of natural pest resistance or “insecticide” in their systems, etc.
Another study found the same thing about plants emitting noises when under stress.
This one mentions animals hearing it, my clipping didn’t have that in it (that I remember).
It is amazing how many new stories and new studies about all types of things have been around for decades.
That doesn’t mean anything to the researchers looking for more information and conducting further studies, or conducting variations of previous research but it is amusing to see the public being reintroduced to the same basic stories 20, 30, 40, and more decades later.
Yeah, “The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music.”
Timber is the yell to warn people in the area. Kind of like ‘fore’ in golf though I never got that one.
The plants are craving electrolytes.
You’re mistaken, trees can’t talk. But they will dialog. ;-)
I read the book, Secret Life Of Plants years ago and found it interesting and believeable.
