Anyone so concerned with presenting as masculine at every possible turn is immediately sus as being closeted to me. Just eat the damn banana like a human. Or like a monkey, which is what I do. I peel it from the bottom.

And as a gay person, any time someone says being gay is a choice, it screams to me that they are at least bi and suppressing those urges and impulses.

Some monkeys eat it from the side, with the peel. But that might be too manly for them lol

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Perhaps those are woman monkeys.

real men don’t have time to waste peeling bananas. you either smash it on your forehead and eat the nutrients as they slide down, or you eat the whole thing in one bite.

Deep throat that banana whole like a real man. Yaaaas. What that throat do?

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

that’s the spirit

Right? Like there's one category of people that could make a choice. Pretty suspicious that this self-evident thing people can figure out about themselves is somehow a big gray area to that kind of conservative.

Cool so which end of the banana are we calling the bottom here? 🤔

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The part opposite from the point at which it attached to the bunch.

Pinch the bottom, opens easily. Try snapping open the top and you get at best a smooshed tip at worst, at worst, it just doesn't open.

You mean the part that's literally at the top?

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I guess in that sense, sure. But that's not how you hang it and that's not how they usually show you how to peel it.

But kudos for catching me on my lack of banana growth habits.

Have an upvote!

This is probably in "is a hotdog a sandwich" territory so that was mostly for laughs.

The unambiguous term is "blossom end" because that's where the flower attaches, but probably not helpful for most people. Small end? Uncut end?

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I like the term blossom end. Its kind of a universal point of reference you can use for any fruit.

I wish being gay was a choice. I'd choose to be bi if I could. Most of the queer people I know I like better than most of the straight people.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Honestly the fact that anybody is attracted to men proves sexuality is not a choice
