Also, despite any form of consciousness they might have is alien to us, plants very likely experience pain

No. They have a response to stress, which is wildly different from experiencing pain. And that's what your source is about.

Your source refers neither to the word "pain" not to the word "experience". Please don't mislead people with your own misinterpretations.

Please don't mislead me by depositing hope in me, my ability to follow basic instructions and/or my mental faculties, even if joking. Now you're just being cruel.
