Obviously this question is only for people who eat beef regularly.

But I just was wondering, what IQ/ability would make you swear off beef? If they could speak like an 8 y.o, would that be enough to cut off beef? If they got an IQ of 80, would that do it?

    A pop science article using misleading language to drive traffic. They don’t literally scream.

    Anyway, no one is saying that plants can’t react to stimuli. There’s a difference between nociception and experiencing pain, fear, or other emotions. There’s no evidence that plants (or any creature without a CNS) can do that.

        “The car’s tires screamed in protest as he drifted around the curve.”

        From this we can conclude that tires are sentient.
