This made me laugh. Same

LMAO thats gold

You’ve read those word for word, years ago? LMAO yeah 9kay buster. Good luck in your sad sad life.

Edit:

also, your response of the studies are “years old” it is interesting then that they still stand.

That means they’ve survived peer review, replication attempts, and scrutiny. That’s how science works bud, evidence stands until disproven. You didn’t read anything in 60 seconds, and you didn’t read it between publish and now. You just don’t like the results.

Thank you for proving you have zero reading comprehension. You are digging your own hole deeper than imagined. Good day child.

Thanks for replying in such a time that shows you have not read them. It would take near an hour to glide through the sources sent, you replied in a few minutes, and if done, you would see only two were about crows, one was about elephants, and you provided only a personal opinion in response. No peer review from your side? Shall I post the study of chimpanzees next?

You aren’t looking for peer reviewed sources if youre so quick to denounce them. You hold no credibility over the sources sent. Those are from leading experts. Youre a lemmy user. Big difference.

You should spend more time trying to comprehend the science of things rather than make the bold statements as if they are true.

Plants have no ability to say whether they want, or don’t want to be eaten. They have no ability for adversion. They are blind. They have no neurons, no nervous system, no centralized area to process information. Their ‘reactions’ to being cut, like the smell of cut grass, are chemical reactions. Not feelings or desires.

Animals, however, have all of this. They are not inherently blind, they have neurons, a nervous system, nociception, a centralized area to process information. Most have amygdala, the ability to process emption, they haveba clear understanding to avoid threats. Why do you think a zebra runs when it sees a lion? Because it thinks it will be cuddled to a nice nap? Given tea?

You are all over the place in various comments cherrypicking between what you want and don’t want to argue, and the second you are caught you demand papers proving you are wrong, while you haven’t once provided any substantial evidence to back your claims. You keep begging for peer reviewed sources, yet youve provided NONE in any of your responses to anyone.

Good day sir. You don’t have the reading comprehension to have a propeet debate with.

Here ya go. Since you can’t research or discover things on your own. Rather you just parade through the comments of this post looking for anyone to show you peer reviewed papers of animals who are studied understanding death.

You made the claim that plants ‘don’t want to be eaten.’

It is on you to support that claim. You can’t just turn around and pretend you weren’t making your own opinionated claims througut this thread and out the burden of proof on anyone who debates.

Reading comprehension is important. You lack them.

Stop it. You’re reminding me why I want to move my family out of the US. Its not just phones, everything is a facade here.

But where do you spit

Was this a real conversation? Jeez lol
