It's hardly as if plants are sentient and communicate with each other in the same way that animals do. It's no more shocking than bacteria "communicating" with one another.

What a strange movie that was

MistyCheese

I don't know that anyone ever has called me a vegetable.

I could show that to someone the first time they call me a vegetable, if you like. I'm meeting you halfway here. I like to think that's what an aubergine would do.

caste_in_exile

got called an asparagus, or was that an asberger I will show them that.

LETHAL LADY

Well that is a turnip for the books.

That lovely smell of freshly cut grass is actually a distress signal that acts as a warning.

Not like there's much they could do, anyways........

Pretty sure if someone is calling you a vegetable and you show them proof vegetables react to sounds they would just tell ya to get the fcuk up just that bit louder.

Then you report them for being homophobic.

Can you report someone for being homophobic if they don't do anything homophobic to you?

Vegetarians are cruel, unfeeling people.
Everyone knows a carrot screams when grated.
Potatoes, the earth's little lobsters, boiled in their skins...

I can't find the poem online, but I've always liked it.

I have a mate who's a complete turnip. This will interest him.

I love this bit from the op's link.

"Everyone knows that plants react to light, and scientists also know that plants use volatile chemicals to communicate with each other, for instance, when danger - such as a herbivore - approaches," Dr. Gagliano said in a university news release.

Daisy : "Hey Rosie, there's a big feck'in cow coming this way, and she's probably gonna ate the heads off us"

Rosie : "Holy **** Daisy, what should we do" ?

It works against smaller herbivores though. Trees will release a chemical when being attacked by caterpillars which tells other trees around, those trees will then increase production of toxins in their leaves to fend off the insects.
