Mildly Interesting

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?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They were all straight before we fucked with them.

Oh! This banana had ancient powers :o

Possibly, although hopefully fewer seeds.

None that I detected

Bubble banana.

I didn't realize how similar they were to pawpaws! That's so interesting, thank you for this picture.

I'm Googling and I don't think they're actually related. They're from totally different parts of the world. But it's probably another excellent example of convergent evolution.

Idk man, I think it has to do more with size rather than seeded/seedless. I've had small and large bananas both, all seedless. Small ones are always straight, big ones always curved. It's just how they grow out of the petals.

Perfect for OnlyBanans.

Hang out with it long enough to see it drunk, then report back on whether it's still looks perfectly straight or not.

Watch it turn to bread for some reason.

That's the most mildly interesting thing I've ever seen.

Everybody who realized they've been eating gay bananas all this time: 😨

You sure it isn’t a plantain?

[–] FizzlePopBerryTwist 1 points 2 years ago

Trans-plantain?

Really kinda hoped all the banana stuff would have just stayed with reddit.

It sounds like you may be low on potassium.
