We found a rock that looks just like a potato (sometimes we'll put it in a fresh bag just to prank each other) and it lived in the kitchen counter fruit bowl for a while. Then my cat decided it was her best friend for a month and would cuddle it every day. Best Rock.

It's rude to watch me and put me in a comic without my permission.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Then go and eat your damn fruit.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 2 days ago

YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That burger looked delicious though, how was it?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

It was fine. Carl's Jr guacamole bacon burger. The quality has gone down over the years though...

You think I groom myself!?

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

Oh I've seen you "groom" yourself several times a day, you flowerpot

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (4 children)

My issue is the fruit goes bad faster than I can eat it all.

I'll buy a 3 kilo bag of apples, eat an apple every day, and still be left with 5 rotten apples.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I keep apples in my fridge and they generally stay good way, way, way longer than expected, it's nuts. I'm talking 6 weeks or more.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, the comic takes place in an hour.

The guy just can will a beard into existence.

Why else do you think they wear the same clothes in every panel?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Damn. I wish I had his beard power. I can't even grow a proper beard after two years of no shaving.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Even if bulk is a few cents cheaper, this is why I buy loose fruit.

I did buy bulk pears, but after snacking and there's 5-8 left, I made Chef John's pear Clafoutis dessert. Leftover fruit is dessert.

It helps to have a garbage disposal of a kid around too

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Here in Denmark bulk is not a few cents cheaper, unfortunately.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Next time you buy 3kg of apples, you could give away the 5 apples or make apple juice or a dish out of them before they go bad.

[–] Zhanzhuang@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I have a rule now that if I see fruit sitting on the table and I think about it for a second I have to eat it.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

This is actually surprisingly effective with chores in general for me. If i see it i have to do something.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 days ago

I was doing that but now I have 2 young kids and a house that needs renovation.

It's just impossible to do everything, there is tons of stuff I see everyday that needs to be done but I have to accept that it's not possible to do everything.

I have a similar one, if I'm hungry enough to walk into the kitchen, I'm hungry enough to eat some fruit. About 1/2 of the time I even do it. If I know there aren't pastries in a cupboard.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cutting my fruits really helps me eating more.

One whole apple? Nah, that's too much.

Three apples cut into slices? Count me in!

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Listen up... cut up your oranges into slices. It's so much more fun to eat.
Yes, i know they grow pre-sliced. Forget that and give it a go.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not a citrus fruit fan. My favourite are apples.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What's your favorite kind of apple? I always like cold gala

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I like sweet and sour ones

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For me the issue is having the abundance of clean and clear counter space for the bowl.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

I laughed a bit nervously at the cartoon but your comment makes me want to shut off the puter and start cleaning

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have a rule for my kids is that I never say no to fruits and I try to always have fruits in the fruit basket (as long as they eat the whole thing and leave a half eaten fruit somewhere in the house).

My two year old is really enjoying that and can eat two whole apples and some grapes in a row. Sure he will not eat anything at dinner after that but I can't be mad at him for eating fruits.

[–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Unearthing a half eaten apple somewhere in the house is the worst. Or orange peels! I keep telling my daughter, we live in the country, you’ve lived here your whole life, you know that’s just an invite (with a giant flashing welcome sign) for mice and bugs. Still find them.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 27 points 2 days ago (7 children)

I eat fruit every day, it's delish

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I’m a fruit pilled peach cel. I’m in my yummy snack src

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

As a child i used to be allergic to a lot of fruits, so i really didn't like it, and even less, trying new fruits. I never knew what's gonna happen. All my allergies have really toned down the past 10 years so i'm on a fruit eating binge. I find it hard to believe that not more people eat fruit all the time. Wait, you could just eat grapes but you don't??

Huh. That's interesting. I never touch the stuff.

I buy 4 individual fruits a week. Eat one every morning right after I wake up. Granny Smith before my commute really kicks you on the balls (in a good way)

[–] witten@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)
[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oh man, catch me outside, I love these damn apples

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ha, like I’d buy fruit in the first place.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Dude. You're missing out.

You can buy grapes, fresh from the store, and then.....ya know. Totally pig out on delicious grapes.

I know it sounds like I'm starting off explaining some complex life hack that I never got to.....but I'm not.

My way, you get to eat delicious grapes. Your way, you don't. That's the life hack. Eat grapes.

And not JUST grapes! Apples. Oranges. Strawberries. Watermelon. Pomegranate. Pears. Kiki. Mango. Raspberrys. Cherries. Grapefruit.

Most people don't think of Lemons as a fruit, but they TOTALLY are. Actually tomatoes are a fruit too! Doesn't seem like it, but they are!

Lots of tasty snacks! DUDE! YOU EVER HAVE A PLUM???

Just, not bananas. You can't eat my hands, and MY HANDS ARE BANANAS!!!

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Apples are in season. Like, right now! Got me a nice bag of big juicy cortland apples 🤤

[–] Balaquina@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

I like your energy.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

This is the deepest cut I’ve seen in a long time. Pre-history YouTube. I’m pretty sure this was the first video I ever saw on the platform.

For bananas, when they're ripe I slice them up and freeze them. Some other fruits are cheaper frozen than fresh, so I buy those frozen to begin with, and mostly eat them with my oatmeal in the morning.

[–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I do this too now, buying frozen has increased my fruit intake by 1000%.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 2 days ago

It definitely increased my smoothie intake

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Those bananas just became ripe and this guy chooses to eat a burger??

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 days ago

Fruit has been one of my indulges during unemployment. I'd never buy a bag of chips for myself but I will eat a bag of oranges (over the course of several days). Grapes are good, too. Strawberries when they're on sale. Bananas are okay. Blueberries are good. One of the little groceries was selling pints of cherry tomatoes (not a fruit by most standards) for $1. Ate the whole thing that night.
