OK, now I need to know.

... tl;dr: a combination of "optimal seed dispersal" and breeding.

Remember the guy who claimed bananas are a sign of god's existence because they are optimally shaped for inserting in your mouth? (edit: the banana is an atheist's nightmare)

I need to find me a banana that feels so good in my mouth it makes me believe in god

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 months ago

A good Christian would swallow it whole

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Those crackers might be the body of Christ but the banana is the holy dong of Christ.

[-] Bosht@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Man that phrasing really got me, lmao. Thanks for the chuckle.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That's the wrong end if you want to see god.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago

Bananas are optimally shaped to be inserted into other orifices in our bodies .... God is either super intelligent or just has a bad sense of humour.

Why do guys have a pleasure spot about halfway dick length up their assholes? Sadly, God left that out of the instruction manual and yet I feel like the best features don’t need documentation to be understood.

lol ..... God designing bananas and the corresponding openings of the human body

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

sorry for the reminder that POS exists

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago

Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. High caliber idiots.

Well if bananas are so well designed why do they have a 1 in 6 chance to go extinct

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

So we can evolve the mult-nanas

I just assumed it was like how ships have bulk heads to isolate damage.

And the Lord Our God saith "That's What She said" Amen!

It does not. Most fruit in western world is cherrypicked through generations to increase favourable proportions of f000d.

An unaltered banana looks much different and has less flesh, same likely goes for oranges, I think.

You can’t trust me, I don’t know shit tho. Perhaps take what I wrote and turn it upside the fuck down…

I like to bring this up whenever anyone argues that natural is better. There's no such thing as a natural food anymore. We made the food we eat as edible as it is through thousands of years of selective breeding.

This is why I hate the anti-GMO argument so much. We've already genetically modified fucking everything.

[-] witten@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Anti-GMO, if coming from a place of reason, is a stance against pesticides in your food. One of the primary reasons to genetically modify some plant is so Roundup herbicides can be used on it.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I also bring this up in people who get overly defensive about their (excessive) meat consumption. I hear the argument that we evolved to eat meat and they want to eat a "natural" diet and this involves eating chicken breast and steak every day.

I mean don't get me wrong, I also eat meat sometimes, but I do realize that there is no good reason to do so. Indeed it is hypocritical of me, knowing how it is both bad for the environment and morally wrong to kill an animal for my consumption when I can get all the nutrients in it from elsewhere, be it "natural" via food choices or "synthetic" via supplements. Because sure as fuck it's also not natural to have cooked pasta with brussel sprouts, tomato sauce, a grotesquely large chicken breast, with a dessert of blueberries and yoghurt in the wintertime. Like, just own it. Just admit there is no good reason other than I like it and that the choice is very self serving.

And yes, bring on the GMOs.

[-] nuko147@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Anti-GMO is not about genetically modified food in general, but more about opposing the pesticide-industrial complex. Monsanto and Bayer don't make plants resistant to pests, but resistant to the pest killers they sell.

[-] Zoldyck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Oranges wouldn't even exist without humans

Whelp, guess I'm not getting any work done today then:-|
