On Thought Experiments, Menstruating & Vegetable Collapse Disorder

"When a tree falls in a lonely forest, & nobody is nearby to hear it, does it make a sound?" Answer is: YES. It DOES REALLY MAKE A SOUND because sound does not require observance to exist. Sound is not like making an ass of yourself because you're drooling on your chin and shirt in the subway. Sound is like drooling on your chin and shirt in an empty subway train - it did happen, no one noticed, you saved face. No, I don't know how the fallen tree might be feeling about his falling, maybe he just stumbled, that's not really the point anyway plus I don't believe in plants having emotions and all new-age shit - the point is VIBRATION MAKES STUFF SOUND. Stop asking me this dumb question.
