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.

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.

Amen, brother!

That is correct.

Since the dawn of the internet it is known that “I agree!” comments don’t add anything to the discussion. If you don’t want to learn something new, then, as your teacher, I can’t do much, son.

Writing just “this” adds nothing to the discussion.

The downvoters don’t realize that science is all about finding out about stuff. The whys, the hows… you know, what “woke” people do.

No, they wouldn’t. What does “best” mean in this context, anyway?

Did you… read the article?

Lol, that was funny! I know I’m being pedantic. I usually make those observations just to scratch an itch. The itch was a bit stronger than usual with this one because it’s a journalistic video. That’s all.

The video has a typo. It uses “it’s” instead of “its”.

I got that one too. Either a way to test if users are paying attention or, or… I don’t know. Mistranslation? It was a bullshit option. Insulting, even.

Yeah, what kind of bullshit survey format was that? I guess that format has its uses, but the way Mozilla is using it here is awful, awful, awful. I didn’t finish it. What happened to the 1 to 5 stars, points or whatevs?
