Alt Text: Panel 1: Two women sit in a living room surrounded by plants, drinking coffee. One says "It's true!" Panel 2: She continues, "Plants grow faster when you play them classical music!" Panel 3: The leaves of a potted plant are reaching towards the window "Must... flee... from... this... torture..." Panel: 4: The woman continues, "I even put on classical music when I'm not home." The potted plant in the foreground has a thought bubble that reads, "...kill... me..."
How does the alt text know they are drinking coffee?
Or that they're drinking at all? Maybe they just like holding mugs!
and also, who is Dr. Inking Coffee?
Try punk, metal. Metalpunk even
Please link to some good metalpunk, if that exists.
There was a Mythbusters episode where they tested how music affects plant growth, and IIRC, their tests indicated that plants preferred loud music with bass over normal classical music.
My guess is the loud bass vibrates dust particles that might clog up pores loose, or maybe helps with nutrient flow inside the plant. Like it's affected by sound not music.
Though music might be generally better than most loud sounds because it's one of the few cases where sound can be loud but isn't also associated with something that adds more dust to the air, which might even give a net negative result.
Mythbusters experiments all suffer for low sample size and correlation not being causation. It's a fun show for kids to watch, but has no scientific merit.
I mean, you only need an n of 1 to prove that you shouldn't drive a school bus behind a 747.
I wouldn't say zero scientific merit, but I do agree that some of their conclusions were overly strong. The "plausible" option really helped, rather than everything needing to be confirmed or denied.
That's because nature is metal af
I found that classical music in my car was the only thing that would keep my cat calm on the way to the vet. Idk if just my cat or cats in general, but my single biased experience makes me want to believe that plants and animals like "natural instruments" for music.
