Eating beach bananas sounds like a great way to get some kind of weird illness. It's not like there's a nearby banana tree that they could have come from. But maybe I'm just too accustomed to grocery stores

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I would just assume that through osmosis those bananas ate salty as fuck, plus I have seen the size of the fucking spiders on some of those bananas being shipped here, no fuck you

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They addressed that, actually.

True to the spirit of journalistic inquiry, your correspondent can attest that seawater has not degraded the taste of the bananas, with the only threats to health posed by skin slippage and by eating too many of them.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The tarantulas have usually abandoned the bananas by the time we eat the bananas.

Sometimes as I'm tearing a banana from the bundle I picture the tarantulas that might've been crawling all over it, and I wonder if I'm touching the same spot a hairy tarantula has been. I don't like having those thoughts. So I try not to have those thoughts.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

So you're saving buying a big load of bananas isn't a good way to get a new cuddly spider friend? :(

Oh fuck it's that where tarantulas come from? Bugs are so confusing

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Im sure they come clean if you wash them vigorously by hand.

I assume the spiders would have died, and now you have delicious, brined cooking bananas!

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wonder what all that banana skin soaked up.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ocean water that everyone swims in perfectly fine

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

That delicious plastic and sewage and population. It does a body good.

Would you eat a banana out of the toilet, as long as you peeled it first?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Yes, without hesitation, although I'd want to rinse it first to avoid cross-contamination.

Banana picking and shipping as it usually happens isn't exactly sterile, either. Or the grocery store where everyone is sorting through them. This is also why you should wash anything you don't peel.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Weird, right? On the one hand - we dont eat banana peels. So, it must be fine, right? But on the other hand, I'd also hesitate to eat a snickers bar washed up on the shore.

[–] justaman123@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

I mean if you opened the package and it was dry tho?
