Having a performative favorite fruit is like having a Axolotl fursona

I'm so tired of these mango clowns, what is wrong with a good old fashioned potato?

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Smh potato’s are tubers not fruits

[–] rhubarb@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago (2 children)

They are round, tasty parts of a plant, that's a fruit if I've ever seen one

Stop tuber erasure

nerd The definition of fruit is that they bear seeds. It is a biological classification, not a culinary one (like vegetable). Tubers and rhizomes do not bear seeds and are therefore not fruits. You can grow a plant from them, but you can do that with cuttings and those aren’t fruit either. Culinarily, a potato is a vegetable or starch, and still not a fruit.

So, what makes it performative seems to be lower accessibility to the North American Cracker. (H. sapiens genocidus)

A fruit can only become non-performative if you do a coup in Latin America to ensure the flow of treats.

[–] GayTuckerCarlson@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A fruit is neither inherently performance or pure of heart

It is the fruit eater that determines the pureness

You are a very performance person, and it taints all you do, including eating fruit

Apples are my favourite due to consistency and availability. Other fruits are either hit-or-miss, hard to gauge ripeness, unavailable, or expensive. Sure other fruits might taste better but when I grab an apple I know what I'm getting

[–] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

As a grower of weird apples, that’s my favourite thing about apples - I don’t know what I’m going to get. Some will be tart as hell others remarkably sweet. Even off the same tree.

But sure a supermarket Granny Smith or pink lady is a homogeneous product, you know what a pink lady tastes like in Thailand, Türkiye or Tuvalu.

Pineapple but I don’t know what that says about my true spirit.

Gawd I love Pineapples so much. I can eat them until my mouth begins to dissolve.

I really like pears, they're probably less consistent than apples in terms of taste/texture but I don't think I've ever had a pear that I disliked (unless it was badly damaged or old of course). Passion fruit is great in juice/tea (I drank so much passion fruit green tea in Taiwan you have no idea) but I don't necessarily like it as a standalone fruit.

There is no fruit tastier than a Georgia peach at the peak of ripeness. And that is objective fact. However, I would not rank peaches as the best fruit because they aren't that good outside of that 2 week window during summer.

Hot take: Most fresh fruit is really good so people's favorite is almost always performative. Like you know the strawberry is only there cause it's hello kitty core. For me it's blackberries but that's probably because I could find them wild where I lived so they have a nostalgia buff

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is so true. My dad is a keen gardener and grows like, a dozen? Different fruits. When the figs are ripe they're my favourite. When the grapes are ripe, the muscatels are my favourite (the red seedless are pretty good but can't hold a candle to them). Loquats, in a good year, are my favourite fruit. Likewise plums, raspberries, and mandarins. Genuinely I think my favourite fruit is whatever's good (and that I like) right now.

[–] semioticbreakdown@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

yeah i'm probably in agreement. my fav is whatever i'm in the mood for.

What the fuck is a performative fruit preference? Is this an allistic problem I’m too autistic to understand?

What a grapefruit response…

I don't think there are people saying their favourite fruit is a strawberry or something, when really they just want to lick durians all day

I wasn't aware that your favourite things had to be "representative of your true spirit" either

Passion Fruit really is my favorite

Such a wonderful flavor, good for drinks and desserts

Even have passion fruit balsamic vinegar that goes really well in a vinaigrette

ITT people messing up my idea of what my favourite fruit is. I don't think I have one any more tbh

[–] GayTuckerCarlson@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

This means your previous favorite fruit was performance

I love blackberries. In Portuguese they're called amoras and I like that it's close to amor(love)

My partner is big on stone fruit - cherries, peaches, nectarines. I've been into grapes lately. Little known fact, but the best fruit is actually fruit salad

[–] GayTuckerCarlson@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Your partner is performance. Calling it stone fruit is performance.

dragon fruit is actually great though; you just gotta get the red variant instead of the white one
