y'all peel your bananas? wtf

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 10 months ago

Of course! Or do you eat the inside too?

[-] Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

All the nutrients are in the skin!

[-] stevep@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Those bananas in the bottom pic definitely look edible to me. They taste better slightly overripe too.

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

i kinda like green-ish ones, "bad" ones are also fine (still fully edible, even the black parts)

[-] Hotdogman@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

It's a very appealing fruit.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Do you think bananas are sexy?

[-] DrNyaaa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago

Yes and so r u

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

I love bananas, but recently I became allergic. Seems related to my longstanding latex allergy. It's too bad.

[-] don@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

Not to be a part of the anti-banana conspiracy (that’d be crazy yall) but yall realize JUST HOW RADIOACTIVE BANANAS ARE COMPARED TO OTHER FRUIT LIKE TOMATOES ITS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEYRE TRYIN TO KILL US ALL VIA BANANAS

[-] kspatlas@artemis.camp 7 points 10 months ago

Aren't humans much more radioactive than bananas

[-] Sketchpad01@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago
[-] don@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

I just skip the humans altogether and eat the radiation. Not as fattening.

[-] PixTupy@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Mmmmmmm... radioactivity...

Unfortunately, also going extinct if we don't play our cards right. All crop bananas are monocultures, basically clones, and there is a strain of fungus that has adapted to infect them with near 100% mortality rate. A single speck of contaminated soil can destroy an entire field, and it is only aggravated by the effects of climate change which are already devastating food production in general. In fact, we've already lost one banana cultivar to another very similar fungus. Commenting not to be a downer but to raise awareness of this active and serious issue. Bananas are a staple crop that many people depend on to survive, both economically and directly as a source of food. Programs are underway to save them but success is far from guaranteed.

[-] ShootBANGdang@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I hate them. Can’t stand the texture, and the flavor isn’t even good. Like eating a soggy pasty log

[-] PeachyMcPeachface@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

No same. I eat them right before the last of the green goes away and it's much more pleasant.

Doesn't make a mess during consumption? Tell that to my 2 year old...

[-] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

Found today that our goats like to eat the peel.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

They also fit nicely in my asshole.

Fun fact: Artificial banana flavoring became popular in the US a decade before fresh bananas were readily available.

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

I will never try the tasty bananas.

The only bananas I will ever eat were thought of as trash by the people that got to eat the tasty bananas.

The closest I will ever come is the artificial flavor in the runtz candy bananas.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago

the artificial flavor in the runtz candy bananas

Long live the gros michel.

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

I knew they had a more official name than "tasty banana" but I couldn't think of it, thank

[-] ForestOrca@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago
[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

i wash my bananas

[-] A_A@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

I believe in this community you have to write the word "rule" in the title, like so :
Banana? Banana rules !
(you can edit the title even after posting, that is, if you want so)

[-] Depress_Mode@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

You don't have to, it's just that everyone copies everyone else doing it. All that's asked of users is to post when visiting.

[-] Automated_Footprint@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Yep. Stuff like this shouldn't be rule(s). Like it was on reddit. (Meirl, what could go wrong...)

[-] Username02@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You know what I like more than banana? Durian.

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago

Can you provide some visual reference on how big the bananas on the picture are?

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 10 months ago

Around the size of 1 SBU (standard banana unit).

[-] lorez@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

You can use em for scale when showing another object.

[-] Bloodwoodsrisen@lemmy.tf 2 points 10 months ago

I used to like bananas but the last one I had made me sick

[-] Anangrierterrarian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Do you want a banana?

Do you want a banana?

This banana for you

[-] animelivesmatter@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm ready for the creationists claiming bananas are evidence of God

[-] Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I love their reasoning is really the result of thousands of years of human cultivation and cross-breeding.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

• You can drop them on the floor and still eat them ✔️
