lol. Tod. Ya dumb ass. I'm outta ammo, sorry.
That's why I like you, though, you're the most respectful wise-ass on the board. Well, maybe AF'll give ya a run for it.
I do want to say, though, that I know lil doesn't want to be disrespectful to people's views. And she doesnt want the government to force people to do anything either. Admittedly, I'm biased, but I do know that. Sometimes I think I have her right where she agrees with me from a purely survivalist lifestyle. Those of us who grew up in the sticks and the mountains separated from modern civilization for generations know what that means. She's never gonna give up on the topic, though. I guarantee it. lol.

Yeah, I know. I didn't like him either. Or her. Don't know which.

ROMAINE CALM Plants can HEAR and use their ‘sense’ to seek out flowing water, scientists discover
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/36012...ty-to-find-flowing-water-scientists-discover/
PLANTS listen out for the sound of dripping water when they’re thirsty, scientists have discovered.
They can sense water in a flowing pipe – or even a buzzing insect – by detecting the vibrations the water makes, experts claim.
There has long been a question mark over how plants tend to toward water sources.
Evolutionary biologist Monica Gagliano and her colleagues decided to get the bottom of it.
They placed pea seedlings into Y-shaped pots to test their hypothesis that plants might be able to sense liquid.
One arm of each pot was placed in either a tray of water or a coiled plastic tube through which water flowed.
The other arm was placed in a tray of soil.
All roots grew toward the arm which had fluid – regardless of whether it was hidden by the plastic or free-flowing.
“They just knew the water was there, even if the only thing to detect was the sound of it flowing inside the pipe,” Gagliano said.
“Because water is essential to life, organisms have evolved a wide range of strategies to cope with water limitations, including actively searching for their preferred moisture levels to avoid dehydration.
“Plants use moisture gradients to direct their roots through the soil once a water source is detected, but how they first detect the source is unknown.
“We found that roots were able to locate a water source by sensing the vibrations generated by water moving inside pipes, even in the absence of substrate moisture.”
Vegetarians often turn to plant-based diets because they fear killing sentient beings.
But another recent plant study might make them think twice.
It turns out that they can tell when you’re eating them.
