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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

It's a very appealing fruit.

Do you think bananas are sexy?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Yes and so r u

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

Aren't humans much more radioactive than bananas

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Mmmmmmm... radioactivity...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

Found today that our goats like to eat the peel.

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.

can also be used to substitute eggs in baking!

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

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.

Long live the gros michel.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

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)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

You know what I like more than banana? Durian.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

i wash my bananas

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

You can use em for scale when showing another object.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

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