It's basic science
(lemmy.world)
Behold, a man!
Love this. Literally came to make the same comment and it's the top one
A miserable little pile of secrets!
I feel like I need OregonNukeSailor's backstory. More for the name than the taxonomic viewpoints.
I'm no nameologist but I think it means they were a sailor who rode nukes around Oregon, like that one cowboy riding a nuke in that cold war documentary I watched.
Edit: here's a screenshot from the documentary
That kid was a prodigy. Landed that nuke softer than that jet blue with the sideways landing gear.
Why not both?
Why is only one username censored?
He ain't gonna dox himself innit?
Pretty sure the others are enough to find the original thread.
The text alone is enough to find the original thread.
The coconut nut is a giant nut
If you eat to much you get veeery fat (very fat)
The coconut nut is a delicious nut,
But most of all it's not a nut!
It's the cocofruit (it's the cocofruit)
From the cocotree (from the cocotree)
From the cocopalm family! (Ayayayayay)
I made up a tune to go with this as I read 😂
I enjoyed that muchly
Haahaha! That's totally different than what played in my head, but just as fun!
bro I love that song
Sperm is stored in the coconut
wel it has endosperm that is indeed located inside the coconut so i guess you're not wrong
Mmm, yummy endosperm.
so were drinking the coconut's seed? that's...that's disgusting. I'm never drinking coconut "milk" again
imma go drink some coconut seed
It's like man milk I guess
Coco nut
Sigh, what’s the definition of milk?
Edit:
- A whitish liquid containing proteins, fats, lactose, and various vitamins and minerals that is produced by the mammary glands of all mature female mammals after they have given birth and serves as nourishment for their young.
- The milk of cows, goats, or other animals, used as food by humans.
- Any of various potable liquids resembling milk, such as coconut milk or soymilk.
It mentions coconut milk specifically
(/¯ ಠ_ಠ)/¯
A warm, white and creamy liquid.
But coconut milk is made by crushing the coconut meat and mixing it with coconut water. Coconuts don't make milk, they make water. Humans crush coconuts and call it milk.
That sounds like juice with fine pulp
But if you asked for milk and they gave you anything made from a plant, you'd be right to reject it
Milk with no qualifiers is cow juice
Two words:
Coconut nipples
I don't know if "give" is a fair word to use there, lol
If you open up some other kind of animal, you also find liquid in it, it's just more red.
No, in nature the mothers do "give" the milk to their young. Misuse of "give" when referring to dairy cows, however, is common.
bro they mean you gotta crack into the coconut.
Ok, seems like I misinterpreted it.
Rolls around on the floor in a little ball.
squeaks when I cut into it with a knife
According to Christopher Lee, one stabbed with a knife does not squeak, but sigh.
Christopher Lee.
Ah yeah ofc
Hey, I am entirely not trying to be an ass, but in situations like what just happened there, here is what I usually do:
Christoper ~~Walken~~ Lee (EDIT: Derp)
Something like that is what I try to do when I make a silly error, but want to showcase that I made the error, and then also accepted and made the correction.
That way, if somebody in the future, who reads only the edited version of the comment/post/thread sees it, they can understand that perhaps other comment chains based off of the initial error are not non sequiturs.
It also shows that you are humble and admit a mistake, and make a correction, which imo, are good things to showcase... as opposed to doing a 'stealth edit', which leaves no obvious signs of what the original comment was, in the comment itself.
Christopher Lee.
That's much better, thanks for the tip!
Yeah, Walken can tell you about how to smuggle a watch, though.
Milky Joe has returned!
Tree Hampsters!
Has hair, has milk (sort of), yes. But, it isn't mamal. It doesn't maintain an internal body temperature through endothermy.
Depends if it started to ferment....
science rules!
