I open bananas from the butt end. It’s much easier. Nothing to do with manual dexterity, you just pinch the very tip where that little gross nub nobody eats is, and it splits right open. No smooshed banana top, no bend-but-not-open.

We are 100% the dumb ones on that.

    What I mean is that we have finer dexterity (and fine nails, don't know what they have) so we can open the small nub easier. I don't pinch, I cut in with my fingernail so it doesn't waste. Not that I know apes but I expect that's difficult for them. They brute force the stem end.

    I misread what you wrote. My bad.

    I’ve only ever heard that they open it from the nub end rather than the stem end, and growing up I only say people open bananas from the stem end. Idk if that’s changed, I’m certainly not paying attention.

    Well I went to double check and I have the whole thing inverted. Apparently monkeys open the nub end because it's riper and thus softer, and humans tend to open the stem end. Dunno, I always opened the nub end.
