Mentioned in the article, but forced rhubarb grows so fast you can hear it. This soundcloud file suggests hearing it in a darkened vault by candlelight would be extraordinary experience!

Well, they definitely need to add rhubarb to Minecraft now.

The year is 2028

Minecraft update 1.22 part 1 (of 5) comes out, rhubarb and rhubarb seeds were added

The structure that rhubarb seeds are found will be added in part 2 (scheduled for 2029)

Rhubarb pie will be added in part 4 (scheduled 2032)

It's a mid tier food with worse saturation than chicken

On s calm morning, you can also hear corn growing.

I don't quite understand: constantly, for days? It seems there would be a finite # of buds to burst, and especially at the frequency (4-6 hz?) and relatively finite size of the dark greenhouse...I'm really surprised this is a phenomenon for more than hours. There must be a TON of buds?

[plexxer]

The article stated half of a million, so very likely yes.

[refulgentis]

Thank you I missed that: though it leads me to the opposite conclusion!

That's only enough for one day at 5 hz.

5 hz * 60 seconds / min * 60 min / hr * 24 hr / day = 432000

That reminds me of cauliflowers squeaking as they grow with their florets squeezing against themselves.

That is wild, thanks for sharing the soundcloud link!

Reminds me of hearing the seedpods of gorse cracking and popping in the sunshine.

That is wild, wonder if there's an asmr for it
