Seeing as the plant kept the flower and ditched the leaf. I conclude that plants also prefer sex over food.

There are insects who enter their adult stage with no mouth. They are here to fuck then starve.

How do they get the energy to grow eggs and stuff?

Store all the food they need (until they can fuck) when they could eat in their juvenile form.

The flower would go first.

This was my first thought. abscisic acid.

Also if a plant has a head, the head is in the soil, not the air.

Not a scientist, but that don’t look too scientific.

Biologist here. Can confirm, that's exactly how it happens. No need to look into plant physiology textbooks.

I repeat: do not look for plant physiology textbooks. Do. Not. Please. Please while you can. Do not.

Wondering if you say this in order to protect others from the pain/horror of learning it, or to protect some deep conspiratory secret. Maybe I'll just open a textbook and find out...

It's been half an hour and we haven't heard back. We can only assume the worst ...

Rest in pieces, NeatNi, you'll be forever remembered for your bravery.

The leaves continue to fall

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

All in all, just another leaf on the wall

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

But is it because NeatNit is too happy to even remember to come back or is it because he's gone for good?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

Fucker trying to trick us into learning shit by making it taboo.
