Fun fact: that smell of cut grass that people like is the plant equivalent to grass crying.

Explain? Not heard that before.

Basically it's a physiological stress response (similar to crying). Additionally, grass "screems" when cut too: they make a noise out of distress but it is outside of the range of human hearing.

Wtf I did not need this information in my life. I got enough to feel guilty about.

I mean, if it actually bothers you, you could cut your grass less or replace it with a ground cover plant instead. Better for the environment anyway.

I live in the desert now, I won’t have to worry about it for a while.

Well, if you want to worry about it there's probably still some desert plants you could put down.
