A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

Strawberries, peaches, and mangoes are nothing terribly special in a cosmic sense. You think they taste amazing for two reasons:
A) You evolved to crave the sugar and other nutrients in these fruits. They don't taste great because they're special -- they taste great because your body and brain are hard-wired to enjoy their taste.
B) All three of these plants have been subjected to a lot of selective breeding to further optimize them to human-specific tastes, causing them to trigger all of those subjectively pleasurable flavors far more than any naturally occurring fruit ever would.
Yesyesyes of course the gestalt entity comprised of trillions of cells acting in chaotic concert would say this, they love esteeming themselves
