    Anyone so concerned with presenting as masculine at every possible turn is immediately sus as being closeted to me. Just eat the damn banana like a human. Or like a monkey, which is what I do. I peel it from the bottom.

    And as a gay person, any time someone says being gay is a choice, it screams to me that they are at least bi and suppressing those urges and impulses.

      real men don’t have time to waste peeling bananas. you either smash it on your forehead and eat the nutrients as they slide down, or you eat the whole thing in one bite.

      Right? Like there’s one category of people that could make a choice. Pretty suspicious that this self-evident thing people can figure out about themselves is somehow a big gray area to that kind of conservative.

        The part opposite from the point at which it attached to the bunch.

        Pinch the bottom, opens easily. Try snapping open the top and you get at best a smooshed tip at worst, at worst, it just doesn’t open.

            Yes, I guess in that sense, sure. But that’s not how you hang it and that’s not how they usually show you how to peel it.

            But kudos for catching me on my lack of banana growth habits.

              This is probably in “is a hotdog a sandwich” territory so that was mostly for laughs.

              The unambiguous term is “blossom end” because that’s where the flower attaches, but probably not helpful for most people. Small end? Uncut end?

      I wish being gay was a choice. I’d choose to be bi if I could. Most of the queer people I know I like better than most of the straight people.
