I remember one issue of Swamp Thing where a vine was wrapped around a tree and he pointed out the vine was strangling the tree to death.

Plant kingdom is actually more ruthless than the animal kingdom. It just takes longer.

They have a nervous system so yeah.

You're incorrect on this. They do not have nervous systems or brains. Therefore they do not have pain receptors. While they maybe able to feel human contact, it doesn't necessarily register as pain

:heh: I was literally talking to somebody about Swamp Thing yesterday about how it evolved waaaaaay past it being about a swamp monster in the 80s, and shyt like the Parliament of Trees, and The Green (plant life) being at war with The Gray (fungus)

I stand corrected. What exactly does it register as then?
If I remember what I read correctly, it feels pressure. But ultimately who really knows. I just know it has been proven they don't have actual pain receptors. So you can bite into a fruit guilt free i guess

Inflicting pain on others doesn't make me feel guilty, tbh. Wouldn't do MMA if it did.

Yeah they probably do. I think vegans/vegetarians know this too but they :snooze: about that topic so they don’t literally starve to death

I have a bunch of plants and use them for my food. Now I'm feeling bad. :to:
