This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I mean, that is mildly interesting, but it's so fucking silly. So unnecessary...
Seriously... Just pick the exact ripeness of each one in any store where I live. Mix and match, it's totally, 100% socially acceptable to do this.
You can't buy individual bananas in many places in my country.
I'm not buying three bunches of bananas, each at different stages of ripeness. That's a ridiculous amount of bananas.
You can’t? Are fruits/produce not sold by weight over there?
Yeah you might weigh the bunch of bananas at the checkout, but you won't find many individual bananas at most supermarkets.
You might see individual pieces of fruit sold with lunch meal deals (sandwiches, drink fruit etc) but not in the regular grocery section.
Over here you can just rip the bananas you want from the bunch. They don’t care about bunches, just the weight of the fruit.
So this is interesting... if you see a bunch of bananas, you're not allowed to break one off? Here in the United States, it's totally acceptable to do this. You can straight up go around and pull one banans off of 7 different bunches, and nobody will even look at you funny.
Yeah this would cause mayhem here lol
[mildly infuriating]
putting bannas in a plastic shell 🗽🇺🇸👍👍😎
Except… it’s South Korea 🤷🇰🇷👍👍🤗
Potato potato. South Korea is the most americanized country in Asia by far.
