If Twitter is really going down, I’m going out as I lived…arguing with as many people simultaneously as possible. (…goddamn weirdos telling me plants aren’t as worthy of respect as animals I’ll show you eat scientific studies on habituated learning in mimosa trees you little shitstain…)
@ursulav WAIT YOU CAN GET MIMOSAS FROM A TREE?!?!?!?!
@ursulav More power to you; show them the way!
@ursulav Plants are the best, I need more houseplants in my life.
@ursulav As a biologist, I am on your corner.
@ursulav Isn't the largest living organism on earth a stand of Aspen trees? Seems like a body wouldn't want to piss off a hundred-acre wood that's all one tree, am I right?

@AthenaGrayson @ursulav

You would think so but I immediately want to fight it. I think it's the same instinct that drives me to make war on god.

@ursulav
Damn nervous system chauvinists!
@ursulav thanks for the prompt to google "habituated learning in mimosa trees" 😀
@ursulav If trees can learn, I'd argue that we need to kill them all now before they learn too much and rise against us.
@ursulav OMG I'm so glad you popped up in my feed. You were one of the folks I really was hoping to find outside the bird app. 🥰 Is Neolithic Sheep here too?
@ursulav there's a study that my partner was telling me about the other day that seems to conclude that at least some plants scream when cut. Just not at a frequency we can hear.
