berry good post
if I asked someone what their favorite berry is and they said "avocado" I'd punch them in the face
Here's a fun fact: your a huge nerd lmao
Takes one to know one
Yesterday, I learn we're all fish. Today this. When will the horror end??
About 8% of the human genome is comprised of human endogenous retroviruses.
I kinda love that we've all got (slightly) more bacteria cells than human cells in our bodies:
Thoroughly revised estimates show that the typical adult human body consists of about 30 trillion human cells and about 38 trillion bacteria.
It makes me feel like a mech for bacteria!
This is an excellent post.
You know what else is excellent?
Eggplant
You know what eggplant are?
That's right, berries.
they're also more closely related to chili peppers than eggs
you know words are just what we call things alright. Berries have berry in their name, not-berries don't. Simple as.
Looks like going back to old English, strawberries were still berries. The botanical meaning was only added in the 1700s.
So blackberries, raspberries, tomatoes, pineapples, strawberries, and eggplants are all berries
Pineapples are apples and tomatoes are toes but otherwise I'll agree to that.
Yeah, much like peanuts not being nuts and Stonehenge not being a henge, it’s all the fault of a small number of assholes a couple of hundred years ago who desperately wanted to redefine things so that they could tell other people that they were wrong.
I am going to stick them all up my ass
Death to America
deez nuts are technically drupes
gravity comes for us all eventually
Another fun fact - the little individual bips that make up the compound berries are called druplets

I was all aboard with the whole trans thing but now I have to learn fruit genders too? Looks like I'll have to be a Nazi.
made a dupe by drupes
aren't berries defined as not having a pit? avocados definitely have one. i'm confused
They're berries. It's in the name! Checkmate botanists.
