i dunno, i remember reading some research (that i have no way of finding now) that plants scream when we cut them

Some do. Some emit smells that tell other plants to turn bitter. Some communicate and even pass nutrients through the mycelial network. So let's all agree on mushrooms maybe?

i find it hard to eat something with more sexes (or is it genders? i haven't finished that paper) than sense. not like emotionally, physically. they pass straight on through. i should just drop them right in the toilet and skip the middleman.
