Do you take the pips out first so an apple tree doesn’t grow in your tummy?
Slightly different take here: why even eat the usual parts of an apple? Apples taste disgusting.
[The above opinion is subjective and applies only to me, afaik.]
I used to feel the same but I had only tried the worst kinds of apples like granny smith or red delicious.
Ambrosia, cosmic crisp, and Honeycrisp are where it's at. If you haven't tried those I would buy one (1) next time you're at the grocery store and give it a try.
Try them before you brush your teeth.
Weird. I eat it because it tastes good, like the rest of the apple, and I like the texture of the pips.
Same. It’s just more apple with a little less juice but crunchier. On riper apples it’s got exactly the right texture.
I don’t see why I wouldn’t eat something that’s edible and tastes good?
a kid at lunch did that in front of me and i asked him how he did that and he said "im russian"
If you want to actually know, you eat it vertically instead of horizontally like most are taught. You honestly barely notice the core if you eat it this way, I do it to get a reaction sometimes. You can probably find videos online if you're not sure exactly what I mean.
Bonus: you save that bottom minge for last that way.
I eat the entire apple. Learned to do it so I simultaneously wouldnt litter on hikes and also wouldn't have to carry a slimy apple core in my backpack. Then i got used to it and started doing it all the time. Why not? Free apple.

That seems overly strict. I assume you're not eating apple after apple for the amygdalin to do any harm, but then I also don't assume you're eating apple after apple for you to do any harm by just chucking it (without the sticker) somewhere out-of-the-way. I eat so closely to the core that people think it's weird, but the core itself is physically uncomfortable to eat.
Depends on the environment. In some places you can throw an apple core and it will be gone in a week. In some places it can take years.
It all depends on the local environment and ecosystem
In some places it can take years.
Got any examples handy?
Anywhere with lower animal or microbial activity.
The Rocky Mountains are a good example. Cold, dry, and a high elevation (reduced oxygen). You are told in those places explicitly to pack out everything because it won't decomposes.
Desert environments can also have the same issues just due to the dryness.
Here's an article
according to the Facebook post from Glacier National Park. "Some fruit products can take years to decompose depending on the environment they are in!"
Hey, today I'm one of the 10k! Thanks, stranger!

Litter...food that literally grows on trees?
Scattering non-native seeds is a shit habit.
No way seeds from a domesticated apple are just gonna start growing in a random forest though.

Poop is also natural, but if everyone pooped along natural hiking trails, it would be a shit show. Established hiking trails tend to have many people walking on them each day, and disposing of waste along them - even organic waste - can have negative impacts on others experiences, as well as change local wildlife's foraging patterns. Just because it is organic matter doesnt mean it decomposes instantly - that apple core or orange peel could be there for weeks or months after you leave it.
Pack it in, pack it out.
**depending on area
Some places you have to pack your poop out. Many places a hole is acceptable for poop.
In terms of apple cores though, it's not much effort to pack that out. When it come to poop look-up the local rules

My grandpa was a Great Depression child. I remember my mom would have to dig through his pantry and throw out the expired food every time we visited, that man would throw nothing usable away ever.
My grandmother was great depression and instead of throwing away food, we just ate it all!
...hm, wonder where my fucked up relation with food comes from. Oh well, we'll never know!
Unopened dry food doesn't expire in most cases.* Nutrition and taste may get worse, but it's not harmful.
*(properly sealed, shelf stable, reasonable time frames)
Nah, 12 year old Nilla Wafers can go, actually
They'll probably flavorless rocks, just dunk them in milk.

I eat the stem and leaves of strawberries because I'm too lazy to get a place to put them and throw them away when I'm done. Just eat them all at once, you don't really notice the green mixed in with the fruit part.

Sure it wasn't Apple Boy? 🤔
If you eat it from the bottom up, the core isn’t that bad in terms of texture. As long as you spit out the seeds, it’s all edible.
You can eat the seeds as well. Just uncomfortable, not unsafe. There isn't enough "cyanide" inside 1 apples seeds. You'd need to eat on the absolute lowest estimate, 10-20+kg of apples and grind up, not chew, the seeds to get enough chemicals to create enough cyanide for a poisoning.
ACKSHUALLY the risk isn't in the cyanide. It's because if you eat the seeds a new apple tree will start growing inside your body. Once it gets too big your body will be torn apart and you fucking die. The only way to fix it is to send in a gardener with a chainsaw, which is obviously risky and painful.

Can't enjoy watermelon; can't enjoy apples; what next.

He is now Horse Man in my memory
When I played Skyrim I saved all the apples I could find. I didn't eat a single one. And I went out of my way to find or buy more all the time. When I got a house I dedicated a room for apple storage.
Oh, just remembered: I sometimes eat the peanuts with the shell on. It tastes nothing, so I don't have a problem with it.
