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

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 6 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.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Do you think bananas are sexy?

[-] DrNyaaa 8 points 2 years ago

Yes and so r u

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

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

Aren't humans much more radioactive than bananas

[-] Sketchpad01@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago
[-] don@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] PixTupy@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Mmmmmmm... radioactivity...

[-] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Found today that our goats like to eat the peel.

[-] ShootBANGdang@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

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

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 5 points 2 years ago

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

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.

They also fit nicely in my asshole.

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

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 7 points 2 years ago

the artificial flavor in the runtz candy bananas

Long live the gros michel.

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

i wash my bananas

[-] animelivesmatter@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

Do you want a banana?

Do you want a banana?

This banana for you

[-] A_A@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

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