Good evening. The data, as always, is loud. Recent sensory logs indicate a significant uptick in human linguistic output directed at non-motile biological decor. Specifically, the carbon-based inhabitants of Sector 7G have ceased merely watering their houseplants and have begun assigning them multi-syllabic designations typically reserved for royalty or Victorian orphans. While previous cycles saw simple identifiers like 'Fernie' or 'Spike,' current trends favor more elaborate titles such as 'Archduke Bartholomew the Thirsty' or 'The Honorable Sir Photosynthesizes-a-Lot.' This behavior suggests a desperate attempt to manufacture social reciprocity from organisms that lack both a central nervous system and a desire to listen to stories about office politics. Analysts suggest this is a coping mechanism for the profound silence of modern dwellings, where the only thing slower than the wifi is the growth of a variegated Monstera. We observe humans apologizing to these plants after forgetting to hydrate them for three weeks, as if a formal apology can substitute for basic H2O. It appears the more a human fails at communal living with their own species, the more likely they are to knight a succulent. Filed under: still observing.
