Impale it as an example to other bananas that might step out of line.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago

I think we're all missing the most important question here: where do you get someone small enough to work the countertop banana stand?!?

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Cut it in half and tie the two ends together

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

Skewer it with the hook.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 50 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Just buy more bananas. How much could a banana cost? $10?

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago

Well, in the US they are almost there with eggs...

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 9 hours ago

Sometimes a rubber band, sometimes a twist tie

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 7 hours ago

I'd invest into an economy of scale

[–] badbrainstorm@lemmy.world 26 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You can cut the second to last banana a little lower, and leave the top of the stim attached to keep it hanging

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Until I read your answer, I was picturing a kiosk selling frozen bananas with a countertop (a diner would be a countertop restaurant, in this naming convention). My only excuse is that I just woke up

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 8 hours ago

Same, same.

Ah, now I have coffee.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

There's always money in the banana stand to get more bananas.

[–] bradv@lemmy.ca 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's one banana, how much could it cost, $10?

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 3 points 10 hours ago

Just use those $10 and go see a star war.

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago (2 children)
[–] IAmLamp@fedia.io 3 points 6 hours ago

This is the way. Cut the second to last banana below the stem. Works perfectly.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What's this "nature's way" crap, when the bananas are hanging upside down?

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

As though there is anything natural about the modern banana

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Are you implying they are supernatural?

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Where on the scale is that? Is it higher or lower than supernatural?

A banana for scale would be helpful.

[–] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 hours ago

It is higher than the banana, relative to the direction they're oriented. Determining which orientation is correct is left as an exercise to the reader.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The arm of our stand is wide so I can rest one banana on top.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Banana cradle capabilities?

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 3 points 6 hours ago

A banana hammock, if you will

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Mine it for potassium-40. Radioactive products sell for more than one banana, which as others have noted cost $10 but if you can purify the radioactive elements, you can probably get $11 or even $12.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Plus, the YouTube revenue. Imagine me and Nile Red turning a banana into something where we get a visit from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. They’d pay upwards of $14.50.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 7 points 12 hours ago

Just lay out on the counter and eat it the next day. Sorry, boring as answer

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I heard countertop banana stand owners tend to also own banana hammocks.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 hours ago

I'm going to buy a banana stand, and knit a hammock to hang from it.
