Like how the pedo in chief thinks you need an id to buy groceries (he's said this multiple times while trying to push for draconian voter id laws) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fartographer@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) It's entirely possible that they know what bananas look like unpeeled, and they know what the inside of a banana looks like on a plate, but they've never seen for themselves how bananas move from one phase to the other. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) Oh fuck I never considered that. That can't be true, bananas are everywhere in movies and shit right? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago They are so far removed from a concrete reality that they've never seen a banana ripen. To the wealthy, all green bananas are bad and gross. The yellow bananas are good, and those are the ones people bring you when you pay them money for a banana, or the ones you see in your wealthy spaces. For example, a wealthy person who has a fruit bowl on the counter will also have someone who changes the fruit out every day for fruit that is perfectly ripe that day. They may not even know fruit ages until they are well into adulthood and find out accidentally. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) Is it about using checks?
