I’m no fan of warfare, or the Chinese Capitalist Party, but that new J-15 looks badass.

This is why we can’t assume anyone is a legitimate government official. We need to take action first and ask questions later.

And yet if we talk about doing anything about it, the mods here ban us.

Yup. “Ok guys protest is over. Be good and go home while we build better defenses. See you tomorrow!”

It’s pretty well known that plants don’t just passively endure damage—they communicate chemically with each other through the air or root systems.

Here are two examples:

Acacia Trees

When attacked, the tree releases ethylene gas into the air. Nearby acacia trees detect this gas and respond by increasing tannin production in their leaves, making them bitter and potentially toxic to herbivores. This chemical warning system helps protect not just one tree, but others nearby as well.

Tomato Plants

When attacked by pests like caterpillars, tomato plants release VOCs (such as methyl jasmonate). Nearby tomato plants “smell” this and preemptively activate their own defenses, such as producing chemicals that deter insects or attract predatory wasps.
