I think it should be possible to break the culinary categorisation down to chemistry. That doesn't tell you anything about the "why" but it's definitely not random and definitely not all in our heads.

I agree with what you mean in kind of a broad-strokes way, but as individuals our subjective experiences of flavors can vary pretty wildly. There's genetics, neurology, age, and habit/experience that influence our taste in terms of actually sensing the chemicals. Then there's what we see, taste, and smell just prior or during tasting that severely impact our interpretation of that chemical sense.

Strawberries do not have nipples. :(

No, this post is not even accurate.

The substance in strawberries which causes allergic reactions is the fra a 1 protein which gives strawberries their red color. White strawberries have less of this protein and may be tolerated by people with this allergy, depending on individual sensitivity.

Achenes are not nuts.

(1) Achene. A small hard indehiscent fruit. The term is strictly only applied to those formed from one carpel, but is sometimes used for those formed from two carpels (e.g. the fruit of the Compositae). The latter is better termed a cypsela.

(2) Nut. This is similar to an achene, but is typically formed from two or three carpels (e.g. dock fruit).

i. Achene - A one-seeded, dry, indehiscent fruit; the one seed is attached to the fruit wall at a single point.

ii. Nut - A dry, indehiscent, one seeded fruit similar to an achene but with the wall greatly thickened and hardened.

I'm just lucky enough to have one at my apartment building, and very wasteful neighbors.

I'm in an apartment building, so I just browse the one here whenever I take the trash out. I don't think anyone has noticed, or they've elected to mind their own business if they have.

There's so much stuff that could still be used that it honestly isn't funny, and that's just in my own bin. How much more is being wasted across the country? But at least it's in the recycling and not the trash, so that's something, I guess.

Would they, though? Knowing that the entire rest of the world would be down their throats in an instant? Knowing Israel would immediately nuke them back?

As a gay ppl: So what? You think this attack is going to advance quiltbag rights?

I'm okay with Iran having nuclear weapons because many other terrible countries have them already and seem to have zero interest in disarming. They have the right to pursue defense via deterrence.

I think the capitalization is less baffling if you've ever received an email from Trump inviting you for an exclusive trip to Mar-a-Lago, or offering you one of his exclusive gold watches. I have no idea how they got my email, but they were sending them so frequently I actually blocked them.

Emphasis on the USD?

In 2023, Germany said: “Confronted with an openly aggressive Russia, the importance of nuclear deterrence has increased for many states, including for [Germany].

Germany is one of five NATO members to host US nuclear weapons on its territory as part of a nuclear-sharing agreement. The German air force is assigned approximately 15 B61 nuclear bombs, which are deployed at the Büchel air base.

In 2016, Germany voted against the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence negotiations on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.
