Fuck off with u.s. politics where it doesn't belong.

Sure, but not to the point in which it's a constant stress.

We've already established that. But that method will shorten the life of the plant (and human.)

You're right, I should have written "No, it isn't." Fixed.

So, no, it isn't the response the author was looking for.

I'm no republican, but you're making a lot of assumptions. The optimistic in me would agree with you, though.

Weird to hear of people who has never heard of BoingBoing.

Is it about people eating light?

Bacteria already release stress chemicals when their food is lacking, so...

~~No, it doesn't.~~

No, it isn't.

It could be. Although we don't know how much those sounds indicate distress, and perhaps watering should happen much sooner.

Imagine if aliens abduct you and give you food only when your stomach makes the kind of noise it makes after three days without eating anything, because "that's all they can detect."

That idea is mentioned in the article, yes.

Edit: apologies. The OP has already pointed this out.

No harm done, brother. Infighting is precisely what they want us to do. Sorry I reached the way I reacted too.

But anyway, the whole situation sucks, and I'm very aware of that. I decided not to give that orange asshole any more attention than the strictly necessary. And in turn I'll focus my energy on signaling strength to those who are too sad and scared for the future.
