I studied plant signalling/phytohormones during my MSc, it’s genuinely fascinating but it doesn’t imply consciousness. Cows have a central nervous system. Beyond that, it’s magical thinking. You are making an unfalsifiable claim, and that’s fine, but please acknowledge that you are adopting a faith-based position here. I could claim the sentience of crystals and be similarly obstinate when challenged.
Plants do have incredibly impressive defence mechanisms, but that doesn’t mean onions are crying when you cut them. There’s no central nervous system, you are anthropomorphising. That is very common whenever this topic comes up, but it really is magical thinking, and the garden is already magical enough without imagining fairies at the bottom.
Thermostat sentience.
Weirdly, 英语 is in traditional (英語), which is why I suggested Taiwan. But you’re right, the characters at the top are simplified - including 英语. So the whole thing is a mess. And the boy doesn’t have a nose.
Why is blind in Chinese.
Biology preceding sociology in the first instance. Male muscle mass and female lipid oxidation, maybe. Gendered labour across different cultures. Exceptions not disproving historical trends. Etc.
Some people got very angry with me about this.
It will be something more like “let’s study in earnest everyday”.
好好学习
天天上
Those will probably be the offending clauses or whatever you want to call them. The reduplication of “good” and “day” produces different words.
Even the girl doesn’t know what he’s talking about, apparently. 说啥呢 basically means that, but in dialect. I’d be interested to know where the book came from. Taiwan, maybe?
Edit: this is a phrase, apparently:
好好学习, 天天向上
“study hard, improve everyday”
人人不是一种一样，你知道吗，我更喜欢面条😂
嗯知道了看来你抱有成见去中国人，你在Lemmy里要一直秘密，所以说的中文，聪明啦，人人总偷听……这里的地方没有好心的人。你小心的！
Radical Materialist Feminism, interesting.
那么说实话我还没试过了，但看起来味道真的奇怪，你知道了吗
Some sanity.
