Well, not exactly "pine"cones, but let's call it the Mayan version of pinecones.

I've stepped barefoot on a lychee before and I don't think I'd like having one thrown in my face

That's the fun thing! (For a kid that just wouldn't think about it.)

EDIT: also, these are guasima fruits, not lychees, just in case you are mixing them up.

Yeah I don't know much about fruits. They look like they'd hurt more than lychees because they're pointier

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Pointier, yes, also denser. It was kind of wild, actually. Those fights always ended with someone crying, but we all did understand that anyone could be the one crying, so we didn't mock or brag too much. The fun always surpassed the sorrow by miles.
