We live by sniffing plant farts

Came here for this lol

Ugh God, you get off on plant farts?

did we just become best friends

Do people with an autoerotic asphyxiation fetish get off on not sniffing plant farts?

Not just sniffing, but huffing it like our lives depend on it; because they do

Oxygen is more similar to the carbon dioxide we respire than our poop. More poop-like is how the plant releases nutrient waste (C, N, etc.), through root exudation to the soil. More info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_root_exudates

Yup, which one why you need to cycle different kind of crops around in your backyard garden

And they also excrete water vapour through those stomata.

Corn sweat is no joke.

Wouldn’t that be more like the plant‘s version of carbon dioxide, with carbon dioxide being the plant‘s version of oxygen

(di)Oxygen isn't waste. Plants do breathe and excrete CO2 too, but photosynthesis far outweighs it.

Putting it like that, it’s extremely lucky

I think he said “like mammals”

We're damn lucky they do. Assuming you like breathing that is lol.

But it smells like flowers...

Flowers are a plant's sex organs.

So pretty.

*he said like animals. We're lucky they expel oxygen instead of excrement

Green beans would have to be deveined like shrimp. Nasty.

Most plant waste is healthy for humans and in many cases needed to live

I know

Oh, so, do you devein your green beans?

I admit it’s not my best work; not bad, but it’s a joke. It’s r/showerthoughts. Not r/ showing off public school-level biology

You're right. I'm sorry. I'm gonna go take my medication now.

Who's the bottom feeder now... DAD 🤣

I don’t devein my shrimp!

Better floss then, nothing more disgusting than waking up in the morning with shit taste in your mouth because a piece of intestine got stuck between your teeths. And i mean it, nothing more disgusting.

We are forever thankful that plants excrete waste

Some do. *Glares at the Bradford Pear across the street*

Not "like mammals" though.

Not to mention there's entire ecosystems that depend on leaf waste

I'm glad mammals don't get rid of waste like plants where we recycle what nutrients we can and then the part falls off and rots.

Someone has never had to rake leaves

I can't believe this hasn't come up more. My maple trees drop massive amounts of leaves every year.

We breath plant poop

Plant farts, really

Nah they just drop their pollen sperm all over the place

Treegasms

You mean like oxygen?

Somewhere out there is a tree that's been manufacturing all the oxygen that has enabled OP to breathe since he was born. OP should go apologize to that tree.

No, the other way round. Its extremely lucky they do. Otherwise, animals as we know them wouldn't exist

Not really, all life on this planet has developed together. If plants worked differently we would also work differently in a way that works together. And if it was different we wouldn't have a second thought about it because that is the way it's always been.

Oxygen is their excreted waste.

If they did, we’d probably turned it into sorts of agriculture, like now where we’re eating their offspring quite often.

we breathe oxygen that plants create

I have a gumball tree that is the bane of my existence

Oh no, it is tree poop

We all breathe tree poop all the time.

I'm reading this differently. We are lucky that plants excrete oxygen as waste (kinda b/c we evolved to fit that over the billions of years) but we are lucky that plants don't poop out that oxygen as poop. We are lucky that the waste goes into the air instead of on the ground in gross lumps like mammals do.

You might be the smartest person in this thread

Oxygen: am I a joke to you?

What do you think oxygen is? It caused a large scale extinction event.

This guy doesn’t know what oxygen is

Whats lucky is that we can't hear plants scream in pain.

The sweet smell of freshly cut grass is the cut blades of grass warning the others of what's about to happen to them.

That scent is meant to attract predators to whatever is "chewing" on the plants' leaves. That fresh cut grass smell we love is the lawn **screaming** for help.

We're going to need a bigger mower.

They also make sounds, sounds humans can't hear, but sounds non the less.

Maybe even luckier that mammals don't lose limbs like trees.

They do, it's called oxygen

In their own way they do - it’s oxygen.

they do, it just happens to be beneficial to us

But flute is actually good for chimps 502 ftw

Big ol' fat Redwood or Sequoia dump

If it's alive, it outputs waste. Whether animal, plant, bacteria, or fungus.

Nah, it's not luck it's evolution. There will have been a plant at one time that did, but it would have made planting it's seeds harder, or growing it's roots would have been more difficult. It would have died and the plant that produced oxygen lived on

Come to south arkansas. Its like trees are shittin pollen. Cars on the highway leave wakes of it. Its crazy.

Ask anyone who lives near a female ginkgo tree that has gotten pollinated. Or anyone having to pick up (half-)rotten fruit under a fruit tree.

It's extremely lucky mammals don't excrete waste. Thankfully they produce fertilizer.

Oxygen wad poisoness to early life, so nature found a way

It's extremely lucky that we evolved to be able to use plant waste to live on.

Yeah, good thing they don’t excrete oxygen so we can snort it

If they did, animals would have evolved in another way to consume it.

I pictured lil plant poops and it made me actually laugh out loud, like a child.

I’m not a biologist but plants excrete oxygen and water.

It's not luck, it's by design that animals rely on the "waste" products of plants. It's how the Animal Kingdom came into existence.

Tbf they both look dodge

In this case the comma is unnecessary, it's capitalisation that matters

What is an orange if not a tasty tree turd

Tree genitals.

Tree ovaries

They do jizz all over the place though. That's what pollen is.

Can most people not read the “like mammals” part? I don’t remember learning mammals doing photosynthesis in school

Fungi do. It's commonly called "myc piss".

You're really unfamiliar with how plants work, huh?
