        Essentially it translates to “Help I am a dumb plant and don’t have legs. Stop it, caterpillars. Or don’t. I’m basically just special dirt.”

        How do they (scientists) sleep at night knowing they are cutting through a plant as it is literally terrified and screaming. We should send hungry caterpillars into their homes and see what color they emit

        i wonder if this is what Dr. Gundry talks about with "night shade" veggies.When attacked the plant will protect itself which can be inflammatory to humans when injested.

        Looks like you’re going to have some legal trouble coming up. Your reporters have no privileges now. You used The FISA Application from The FBI, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page gave you. It had an American Citizens name on it....and you used it. You knew it was fake. Yet you went all in

        .@joerogan, this might interest you. I was just listening to episode #814 with you and @SamHarrisOrg. Perhaps we're getting closer to finding new ways to show plant's intelligence.
