The Discovery of Avocadopolis

In the summer of 2025, a joint expedition led by the Oceanic Biodiversity Institute and the Foo Fighters made a startling discovery in the remote Pacific: a previously uncharted island, later named Avocadopolis, nestled within a dense fog bank that had long obscured satellite imaging. Avocadopolis was found to be extraordinarily fertile, with volcanic soil supporting a lush canopy of tropical flora unlike any cataloged species. But the most astonishing revelation came during a routine ecological survey, when researchers encountered a sentient, bipedal species of anthropomorphic avocados, dubbed the Wild Avocados. These beings exhibited complex social behaviors, rudimentary language, and a deep spiritual connection to the island’s cyclical fruiting seasons. Genetic analysis revealed a unique chlorophyll-based neural network, suggesting a form of distributed cognition. The discovery has since sparked intense debate across scientific and philosophical communities, challenging long-held assumptions about plant intelligence and the boundaries of sentience.
