Because empathetic and compassionate are not mutually inclusive. Empathy just means that they ruin their own day by feeling bad because a guilty self-imposed obligation because your day is ruined and you are feeling bad. Compassion is when they actually do something productive but like that is hard and takes effort expenditure
@@EllyFLuft dear god no, you see, soy, in Spanish, means "to be" as in to be something, but as a word in English it refers to the diabolical legume that has destroyed my country's economy though predatory agriculture, in brasilian portuguese, soja the joke supposed to land here was a pun, where Brasil addresses the concept of soy (the vegetable) by making a exclamation, "Yo" that is, however, it becomes a pun when you translate it from Spanish, meaning "i am", or it was supposed too, since WE BRASILIANS DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH AS OUR NATIVE LANGUAGE, unless of course the aforementioned fact is somehow part of the joke and my autistic ass just didn't get it
6:31 Replacing meat with soy in human diets actually reduces the need for soy as 80%+ of soy goes into meat and a lot more soy is needed per calorie of final food then eating soy directly
I remember experiencing a vegetable rights advocate. She was dead serious, not a hint of insincerity. I heard her inquire to the serving staff at a cafe (I was waiting in line) if the potatoes in the potato salad had been humanely treated. The woman (who I knew) behind the till , was dumfounded at the question, she stuttered for a moment and answered the best she could that it was from a local farm and the potatoes had been treated well (she had know idea). The advocate smiled and said thank you in the most sincere and matter of fact way you can imagine. In that moment my perplexed face met the face of the staff member in utter existential crisis, like this was a normal thing now apparently and we were the weird ones for not considering this. Later we laughed about it , but I always had this feeling that reality was changed that day.
Honestly they're already such a drain on our healthcare system that I'm very hesitant to give them any extra rights. ... I mean they already have all the good parking spaces.
I hear ya! Vegetables are important in our great nation, but what’s next! Fruits?! I’d be dead before I see a day when fruits can live safe and free in our society!!!
How low as people do we dare to stoop making young broccolis bleed into soup! Uncan your beans! Uncage your tomatoes! Let potted plants free! Don't mash that potato!
I feel like stoic stick is really shinning light on the corruption in our society where vegetables are oppressed on the daily, he really is the best reporter of our generation.😻😻💯💯💸💸
Also oddly related: in the elder scrolls there is a Bosmer (wood elf) cultural diet and usage guidelines known as the green pact. They don't use any plant matter in their food or weapons
0:19 I seen the negative effects of them making that plant bigger and harder when I was on a call with my friend and he said “yo look at dis sh” I see a man who plays saxophone wears glasses some times and is black “using” the corn
Releasing a distress signal helps neighboring plants to know they need to rev up their chemical warfare investment. Won't help against lawn mowers, but does help against some insects and other herbivores.
Im gonna be that guy, but let me debunk real quick all of those fun facts about plants Lets begin with Shameplant - touching leaves and daylight are two different stimulus to the plant, so leaves curling up in the night is a seperate thing than to reaction from touching. Next, the fly trap - they don't remember, they simply react to overloading them, one hair touching is not enough to activate the trap and sometimes touch two hairs is not enough, if we would focus on one hair, its true that after couple of seconds plant "forgets" about the first touch but its not a memory its just a reaction of water tension in the cells, its smart but after a few seconds water tension comes back to original condition. Cutting grass - well, we sense the smell, plants don't. Its like some animals they can smell blood and we not so much. Plants don't react when their neighbours are pruned, they might react if they are the same organism connected via roots or tubers. Corn - mentioned reaction does not happen and yes I am fun at parties
Where’s the proof that grass can’t sense the chemical signal? Also with the shameplant it’s showing that when anesthetized while it’s normal stimuli don’t operate properly, the day night operations still do which is interesting. The corn thing sounds kinda bogus but idk
@@logert3921Well, how would they react to their the smell of their own sap if they can't smell, they might react to the presence of their own sap but its really not the case even considering poisonous plants. If we really would like to push the smelling argument, the best reference would be that plants can absorb air to continue photosynthesis, but they often don't do it efficiently meaning they have small problems with differentianting carbon dioxide from oxygen (it kinda sounds dumb, like dude you have one job). Going back to cutting grass, even if they could react to the signal that their neighbours are being cut what would they do? in the best response they could wilt and try to store the water in undeground parts more to prepare themselves for losing some of the green parts but as we know they don't wilt and the end of the field does not sem to be more prepared when we end up there during out lawnmowing session. Maybe there is some microscience behind this but certainly its not the smelling argument, if there is a revelation behind this then it should be looked more into
And in the previous four years, too. Which makes no difference anyway because you are ruled by the mythical industrial-military complex. Which one will say jump, and your "government" will ask how high? (This is a reference to RATM)
The best tree is the beech. It rather keeps otherwise dead beech neighbors alive, than having it's place taken by an invasive foreign tree. Therefore the beech is the most based an German tree there is. The oak is a total wuss in comparison.
I love how at 7:38 he accurately described the shape the earth. 🤑 This show that stoic stick is in touch with the latest science of the earth being flat, always great to know my fav ytbers AR progressive😁
I propose eating fungi and amoeba for sustenance from now onwards In a historical movement called fungmeoabaism in order to protect palnt,animal and even human rights
Love the call back to your vegan video, this channel is developing a whole lore. If we want to save plants, weirdly we need to stop eating meat. 80% of soybeans are fed to animals that we eat at a ratio of 12 calories of plant becoming 1 calorie of beef.
Here's an interesting thought I had. Because each cell reacts to light individually it could be used to "see". But since places have no nervous system capable of really processing it I don't think they can see. Maybe a few do but that's just a guess.
Well actually most plants live symbiotically with fungi. And fungi act a lot like a giant nervous system even using electrical signals for communication. If the fungus acts as the brain maybe plants can think and see. But can they hear?
I can’t imagine the corn restaurant scenario, the idea of eating a single vegetable is so unfathomable that I cannot construct even the passing and evil fantasy of the traumatized corn
Green leaf volatiles can trigger a lot of responses in different plants, most of the time leading to an increase in toxins to kill bugs and/or bitter, sour or spicy chemicals to deter larger herbivores from eating their leafs. So yeah, they can't move, but they do what they can.
