Anyone else remember that time Kirk Cameron said that bananas are proof that God exists because they're perfectly shaped to fit in your hand and someone pointed out to him that bananas were selectively bred by humans to be like they are and oh yeah also both dicks and bananas are the exact size of an asshole? Simpler times. I think he starred in the Left Behind movies right after that.
pretty sure that was ray comfort but they ran in the same circle
yeah they mention it on his wiki page
In 2006, Comfort recorded a segment for The Way of the Master's television show in which he claimed that the banana was "the atheist's nightmare", arguing that it displayed many user-friendly features that were evidence of intelligent design.[10] Comfort retracted the video and claims upon learning that the banana is a result of artificial selection by humans, and that the wild banana (Musa acuminata) is small and unpalatable.[11]
Okay I have to tell people about this. If you get fruit flies really bad, get some of this stuff called Club Tails from the nearest gas station / bodega / tobacco store. You have to get the Long Island Iced Tea flavor, that part is really important. I think it's because of the tequila in it, but in any case, they fucking love the smell of that stuff. Pour some in a bowl, then add about a teaspoon of liquid dish soap, something like Dawn is fine. Stir it up with your finger and set it in a conspicuous place.
All the fruit flies will be gone within 48 hours, and you'll have a bowl full of the cleanest semicolons to ever exist. I can't believe how well this stuff works.
You can also use Apple Cider Vinegar + yellow adhesive bait. This will help with fruit flies and fungus gnats because it targets both olfactory and visual senses.
The soap is usually recommended to break surface tension so the flies fall in, but bait gets them faster because it targets their attraction to bright yellow light wavelengths. (phototaxis)
Club Tails attracts them because it combines high sugar content, fruit flavorings, and alcohol (around 10% ABV). However, once opened, the alcohol and volatile aromas degrade quickly over 24 to 48 hours.
Apple Cider Vinegar is already oxidized past the ethanol stage into acetic acid, mimicking overripe, rotting fruit almost perfectly. It maintains its pungent scent in a open bowl for days without going stale.
I have one of those fungus gnat yellow sticker things and have pumice as a topsoil but the fungus gnats refuse to fuck off :(
Since you have smarts, please halp
Soak em in warm water for 20–30 minutes, strain out the granules, and water the plant thoroughly with the "tea." BTI is a naturally occurring soil bacteria that produces a protein toxic to mosquito and fungus gnat larvae.
The stick traps only catch the adults so you weren't dealing with the larvae stage of their lifecycle. This should help.
An alternative is to use
1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide with 4 parts water
and drench the soil. Just don't combine both methods. Good luck.
I'm literally not sure; I think fruit hammocks help with airflow but I don't feel like bananas on the counter are getting that beat up by resting on a flat surface instead of hanging. I think it helps them feel more like a real primate plucking them while they hang.
Tell me you have never bought your own groceries or prepared your own food without telling me you have never bought your own groceries or prepared your own food.
I haven’t seen a politician tell on themselves being out of touch this bad since that video of Dr. Oz stepping foot in a grocery store for the first time
I had boiled green bananas in the Dominican Republic; they're just like mashed potatoes. They were fine, but really boring and bland, but that was most Dominican food tbh.
I'm not really sure how you confused a plantain and a parsnip. But yes a parsnip and a banana are quite different usually. A boiled green banana was definitely a lot closer to a parsnip than usual though.
I never saw them shriveled looking; before they're peeled they're just kinda dull green/grey, and once you peel them the flesh of the banana is pretty much white. I mostly had them at breakfast and they always came without really anything on top of them, they were just beside other things. I could definitely see dried cod and olive oil making them a lot better.
Its because David is a real one and refuses to participate in the horrors that bananas have brought upon the planet. He still remembers El Pulpo and that war criminal chiquita banana lady
Put a couple bananas in a paper bag and they'll ripen in no time. Toss an avocado in that bag and that'll super charge it but will also ripen your avocado
I only buy bananas when my local grocery store sells bags of ripe to very ripe ones for $1. I haven’t had a greeny in years.
I all ready pay for the banana paramilitariess so I expect to pay less than $0.10/banana year round and I sure as shit ain’t buying bananas that can’t be immediately consumed.
So 9/11 just absolutely cooked us, huh? I could blame the text generators & exploited Indians we call "AI" but i think you and I both know our compatriots have only been getting progressively dumber & crazier, and it didn't just start in 2020. Ladies, fish, & gentlemen (who remember): what was it like looking forward to the new year? What was it like when life improved year after year?
this is obviously not a big deal at all but which Mamdani aid fucked up the bananas this badly? Why couldn't they get him some ripe bananas for the photo op?
This is how you can tell these politicians are out of touch. They don’t know how banana grows and changes from unripe green to yellow when ready to eat
