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

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

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.

I would like some weed. As a nonscientist, answers come secondary to weed.

“I am not a scientist, I just smoke weed” needs to be a shirt.

“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

imagine a shirt that says “I’m not a scientist”. it’s basically that but if you smoke weed you are obligated to tell everyone unprompted, so this is for weed smokers who want a shirt that says I’m not a scientist.

a further idea: Front of the shirt says “I am not a scientist”

Back of the shirt says “I just smoke weed”

Yes, if the plant is screaming at having its leaves torn, my little psychopath would absolutely be like “bite it harder!”

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?

Well, during the day plants are busy working (photosynthesising, defending, sticking pollen to bugs), they only have a chance to get socially chatty at night.

And cats love plant humour.
Except that of succulents. They crunch too much.
