We used to think that animals couldn't feel pain now we know plants can.

There's a real big [citation needed] on this sentence.

Scientists: "Plants can communicate damage through a pathway exactly like a nervous system"

Google results: "Plants don't feel pain because they don't have a brain"

sigh I don't know what I expected. Fucking fascists... Sorry, can't cite this one because it goes against the agenda google wants to push.

Least brain-broken take. That's like taking an econ class and saying "I'm not seeing any evidence capitalism is a broken failing system"
