Fun fact: cucumbers and watermelons are actually part of the same family: the cucurbitaceae.
Watermelons are vegetables...
...tomatoes are fruit....
No. Technically, both watermelons and cucumbers are berries.
and all berries are fruit.
I will do you one better. Why gamora?
gawhat now?
Its a reference from avengers movie.
Makes sense. The watermelon is like a playdoh ball then you just flatten it to a snake to get the cucumber
That was actually God's process when he created them 6000 years ago.
In Spain, it is common to say that you got a "cucumber-y" watermelon when it is not sweet.
It should be mentioned that Americans and Europeans seldom talk about the exact same thing when talking about cucumbers. The most common cucumber type in the US is a spiky bitter thing with a thick rind, while the most common in Europe is softer with a smooth rind, more watery and often much sweeter in taste (the type which Americans for some reason call the English cucumber).
Then the OP makes sense. Because the white part of a watermelon tastes nothing like cucumber.
Can’t you make pickles from watermelon rind?
I love cucumber, and I enjoy chewing on watermelon rind
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
