>> Anon 33056 If you're talking to people who deny the obvious, then I'm pretty sure you need better friends.
>> Anon 33082 Honestly, is there even a single person that believe plants doesn't move?
>> Anon 33144 Neat! But could you talk of the time interval between frames?
>> Anon 33160 >># Flat earthers maybe.

>> sqvaard 34390 >># >># the "plants don't move" was a tongue-in-cheek for me, as many people consider plants dead-ish in comparison with animals, just because the metabolic rate of most plants is much lower than that of animals; some even consider eating animals "bad", but eating plants "good" for a reason unbeknownst to me. Even plants have to "eat", i.e. consume matter to grow (not only CO2/O2/H2O, but also many minerals and trace elements, NPK being those needed the most) - for me, it's about reducing the negative impact of one's feeding on the environment, not about abstaining from meat, plants or whatever. My point was, plants are alive just like animals - their electrolytic channels act exactly like a human nervous system, their veins distribute nutrients and remove metabolic waste just like our blood, and they are able to move, just not as fast and not as freely as animals. They don't have a central brain, true - but that only prevents cognition, not the ability to feel and react. >># it was about 10-15 minutes between each transition. Of course it would look much better if I did more frames and made it more fluent, but the entire "movie" was done "in the meantime", i.e. just to document how fast would the plants get in shape from dehydration after proper watering. BTW, for some reason (I hope I'm not the only one), dehydrated plants look "sad" to me the very same way a hungry person does... and they certainly seem to "get happier" after they get taken care of.
>> Anon 40262 >># Did you know that some plants when put tightly together with other plants of the same species will grow so they move their leafs away from each other in order not to block sun light from reaching their kin? Meanwhile if the same plant is put tightly together with other types of plants it don't give a damn to move its leafs and will block sun light from reaching their neighbours. If that isn't some IRL magic I dunno what is.
