I eat watermelon seeds. Watermelon not hard enough to need to bite down hard and it’s too time consuming to spit out every seeds. They do not collect anywhere in the GI track.
I’ve never heard someone call it the “blossom end”, I’ve always known it to be called the Bananus (banana anus). I think monkeys typically open it on the same end rather than from the stem.
The kiwi skin on is actually very fibrous, I know someone that was constipated during pregnancy and the only thing that would clear them out was kiwis with skin on!
Yeah, monkeys open it from the non stem end, and they eat a lot of bananas, so I think they are correct, and the humans are wrong. Also rip reap bananas are almost impossible to open by breaking the stem - I grab a knife to make a cut at the base of the stem if the banana has reached that point.
You don’t even need to do that: pressing your nail in requires too much nail, but “slitting the neck” can be done with less fingernail (and feels edgy)
I open bananas from the blossom end instead of the stem end because it’s easier
Most modern apple varieties have soft enough cores to eat, so I eat them (not the seeds though)
I eat kiwi skin because I enjoy the fuzzy texture (I don’t even have a rationalization even I think it’s weird)
basically I make everyone uncomfortable when I eat fruit lol

that’s good to know that they don’t cause GI issues
I’m lucky that in Brooklyn most watermelons sold are a seedless variety. Tbh I prefer honeydews though
Seeded watermelon taste better.

wow, just how fast do your fingernails grow ? I don’t see a noticeable change in their length in less than a week’s time
A normal speed? I think I get a week and a half between trimmings. You don’t need much fingernail to do it, just enough to be able to push an edge in

I break bananas in half to start peeling. Otherwise no matter what end I usually end up crushing the point of the banana.
Fuzzy fruit makes me gag.
I do all these, except with bananas I split the skin along the entire back so the peel is one solid piece instead of a dangly mess.
i might steal that
I also enjoy the kiwi skin. Witnesses are almost universally disgusted and some are ready to throw hands.
It looks disgusting, until you try it yourself… although some types are too tough to be enjoyable.
hello fellow kiwi skin freak lol
I’ve mostly switched to only opening bananas from the butt end, and I think my friends are about half and half.
