that might be one of the infinite mysteries of the universe, like whether everything is actually a boltzmann brain’s fleeting hallucation, but fortunately we do know with certainty that animals scream and flail and panic and thrash when you try to kill them on account of having a very very similar nervous and cognitive system to you, and also that you have to cut a fuckload of plants to feed them before you kill them anyway
That’s quite like most of animals we eat - you cut them, they emit sounds.
if, hypothetically, i punched you hard as fuck in the balls, there would be two emissions of noise
i hope this has been an illustrative example
And? How do you know that plants are not screaming from pain of being cut?
The reality is we don’t know. We don’t even really know how other humans perceive pain (as it is highly subjective), nevermind mind other species.

hope that helps
Like plants?
nope! like humans
hope that helps
Humans are just subspecies of animals so your comment makes no sense.
crazy coincidence, plans aren’t a subspecies of animals. wonder what that could imply
Absolutely nothing. Animals eat each other.
And a whole more stuff happens that doesn’t happen with a plant.
Stupid analogy. But what else do I expect on the internet?
It is not an “analogy”. Plants scream just as much as animals do, but since they are less cute than animals you prefer to claim they have no feelings.
No, I prefer to base my decisions about what is sentient or not sentient on science rather than anthropomorphisms.
Plants don’t scream. Plant’s don’t feel. Animals do. Deal with it.
What you mean is, you don’t know. You are making assertions without basis.
No, I’m making them based on science. Which is more than you can say about yours. Science isn’t absolute truth, but it is the closest we have.
You, however, are making shit up out of your ass.
No, you are making assertions based on your prejudices.
What the fuck
In the context of animals I rather leave this bit to you 😁
Wow, from sociopathy to rape in one sentence. I’ll give you this, you’re dedicated.
Me? I only quoted yourself.
Oh my goodness, I didn’t realize you were illiterate. My mistake. I hope you have a nice day, and do try not to rape anyone.
