>covers 100% of the globe
>no animals have evolved from it
does this disprove evolution? why dont we have grass monsters yet?
>>
>>42304037
Grasslands are so beauitful
>>
>>42304037
Evolution wise, grass is actually a pretty new species
>>
Grass plays wide, humans play tall.
>>
>>42304037
Because it doesn't need to evolve.
>>
grass is the most horrifying and fucked up organism on the planet

It appeared in Cretaceous 120 mln years ago. Most dinosaurs lived without it. Crazy I now

>why dont we have grass monsters yet?
They're called bamboo, and palm trees.
>giant plants that grow so fast you can watch it or durable enough to survive hurricanes
>>
>>42304444
checked...
>>
>>42304037
It doesn’t really cover 100% of globe, we import it a lot of places. Also cows, horses, etc, they all evolved to digest grass, there you go your grass monsters
>>
>>42304037
Evolution tends to happen due to need. If you're claiming that grass has already taken over the globe, what further evolution is necessary?
>>
>>42304037
>OP has forgotten about leaf sheeps
>OP has forgotten about carnivorous plants
Those exist.
>>
>>42304037
No animals have evolved from any plant alive today. Animals came from something like yeast.

>does this disprove evolution?
yes, you did it. bravo.

I turn into a grass monster when I 420 blaze it

>>42304037
They are all elves. Every single one of them.
You can see their faces if you look hard enough. You can hear them talk if you listen carefully.

this man knows grass

Niggas in this thread still believing in billions of years old earth and evolving species smfh
>>
Evolution still needs to be proved before it can be disproved which it can't be without a time machine
>>
bamboo and all the grains that have feed humanity are grasses. and if it covered 100% (it doesn't) it won
>>
Darwin was a Freemason from a long-line of Freemasons with an agenda, not a seeker of truth.
>>
Dinosaurs and evolution are a huge fallacy literally an attempt to contradict the Bible and spread Atheism Dinosaur bones are created in China Museums created the Dinosaurs everything you see in Museums is not real

Great question, and it's a really common misconception worth unpacking! The short answer is: **no, it doesn't disprove evolution** — and here's why the premise itself reveals a misunderstanding of how evolution works.

## Evolution doesn't work like that

Evolution doesn't mean "every successful organism eventually becomes an animal." It means populations change over time through natural selection, mutation, and other forces. Grass *has* evolved — enormously — it just didn't evolve *into* an animal, because there's no pressure to do so.

## Grass is already wildly successful

Here's the key insight: **evolution favors survival and reproduction, not complexity or mobility.** Grasses (family *Poaceae*) are among the most successful organisms on Earth:

- They cover ~40% of Earth's land surface (not quite 100%, but enormous)
- They've existed for ~60–80 million years
- They survive fire, drought, grazing, and mowing
- They've co-evolved with animals to actually *benefit* from being eaten

Grass doesn't need to run away, hunt, or think. It has *already won*. There's no evolutionary advantage to becoming a "grass monster."

## Animals evolved *from* earlier life, not *from* plants

Plants and animals diverged from a common ancestor over **a billion years ago**. The evolutionary path to animals ran through single-celled organisms simple multicellular life animals. Plants went a completely different direction. You can't "re-run" that split — evolution doesn't have a destination or a ladder to climb.

## "Why haven't we seen it yet?" — Time and pressure

Even if there *were* selection pressure for grass to evolve animal-like traits, evolution operates on timescales of **millions to tens of millions of years** for major body plan changes. Grass has only been around ~60-80 million years, which sounds long but is relatively short in evolutionary terms.

## The fun thought experiment answer

If, hypothetically, some grass *did* face pressure to move and hunt (say, nutrients disappeared from soil everywhere), evolution might *eventually* favor proto-mobility — but it would look nothing like a monster. It would probably look like a Venus flytrap first. And that would take tens of millions of years of consistent pressure.

**TL;DR:** Grass is too successful to need to become a monster. Evolution rewards "good enough to reproduce," not "coolest possible creature."

>grass
what is opportunism
bamboo is a grass that tricked humans into using it for building materials
this isn’t paranormal it’s basic botany
> no animals have evolved from it
why the fuck would it do that
plants talk to each other all the time
the world’s oldest living creature is a tree
the world’s largest living creature is a colony of aspens
animals mimic plant patterns to “blend in” because plants are superior in every way

Best put your phone down, leave the comfort of your mom’s basement, and walk naked into the woods. God will save you from exposure, dehydration, hunger, predation, and disease.

(Checks notes) Well, shit.

Did I say I support religion or God? I specifically compared modern "science" parrots to religion pushers. They're two sides of the same matrix coin. Morons bounce back and forth like a pong ball "science is true/religion is true/science is true/". Bitch neither one is true. Abandoning God by worshiping the human mind is LITERALLY insane. The human mind is the thing that came up with the conception of God in the first place and now you think it's somehow fixed it's retarded wiring and by pretending to be objective (which is absolutely impossible" has led humans to discovering irrefutable universal truths??? That WE discovered? You cannot prove you're not hallucinating all of this and you will never be able to prove you're not hallucinating all of this. The Matrix and Zion are BOTH illusions. Why do you think the spoon boy (me) gave neo a spoon in Zion? There is no spoon means there is no spoon it doesn't matter if you think you're plugged in or not. THATS A METAPHOR. Multiversal solipsism with MAYBE multiple individual absolutely limited minds incapable of knowing anything with certainty is the only possible explanation of anything anyone has ever experienced. Neither "siense" nor "relijun" has ever or will ever point you to this truth that you are trapped in a situation in which certainty is never ever possible. Don't shovel any shit about me about "this is what science says too" because it ISNT. It might attempt to attain to this, but so does religion. They both attempt to attain to some universal truth, they both FAIL because they were invented by a pile of electrical mush inside of a round bone sphere (maybe, maybe not true. I suspect even that is hallucination but it cannot be proven. Take the fucking L now. Spoon Boy Out.

No man can comprehend grasses. Language breaks down trying to describe them. Grass can only be known through experience, Dig it up; look at the roots and listen to its screams.
