Correct. Avocado ≠ Onion

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You should start a Lemmy community called NotAvocado about things that aren't avocado. I'd do it myself but I'm too lazy to find out how, let alone moderate it afterwards 😄

What about a pineapple? Is it an avocado?

Or a tough one - the Magna Carta?

Definitely an avocado.

Damn millennial bandits! Send out a warning to all toast manufacturers in the area asap!

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Time to ban avocados. Then those millennials will finally be able to afford houses.

My guacamole futures just went through the roof

But I just got in the 120 tonnes of toast in!!! I need these back!

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Your ratios are way off, consider going by volume instead.

Also: so you have the imported fancy sea salt?

[–] HorreC@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I figured that each avocado would be good for 3 toasts. And I have people in utah at some lake just trying to dry it out for that rare salt.

I might consider watch Fast and Furious again if Fast 11 contained a 40 ton avocado heist. The last one i saw was probably Fast 4

And they will be valuable if they can sell them in the next 4 to 6 hours!

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

.... aaaaaaand now they're all mush.

I hate that when I think about Mexican avocados I always think about cartels! IDK who is worse, chiquita or cartels!

[–] shottymcb@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Chiquita is a cartel. The list of heinous shit they're responsible for is absurd.

I’ve played enough Animal Crossing to know that you have to pester two tanukis twice a day about the current going rate for your produce, and absolutely DO NOT keep them for longer than a week!

They’ll probably launder them into real estate; possibly a penthouse in Dubai or a townhouse down the road from Buckingham Palace or something.
