What do you mean zero cleanup? Now I have to carry around a banana peel all day. All hail apples (yes, I eat the core).

Make eye contact throughout, show dominance

me too! but this one time in high school calculus, my classmate beside me ate the core and put the seeds and stem on a napkin, like i usually did. but then he proceeded to pour them all into his hand and SWALLOW IT IN ONE BIG GULP, and ngl it really pissed me off for some reason. after that, i preferred eating oranges.

It contains cyanides, so if you eat too many apples this way, expect headache

do you just spit out the seeds?

lol i know there isn't a lot of cyanide in the seeds but there is some seems like intentionally eating them could be bad long term

Nah, your body gets rid of cyanide very quickly and you'd have to eat at least 15 apples in a single sitting before it even begins to do anything. This is assuming you're some kind of weird psycho who thoroughly chews each seed instead of just swallowing them like a regular psycho — in which case, they would go out exactly as they came in and release no cyanide whatsoever.
