Banana: How can I tell?

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 11:57:39 -0700

I can't tell if I have a banana or avocado or maybe a dog? I might even have a mink pelt. I just wish there was a way to see if what I was holding and attempting to eat is actually a banana.

Orange: Why does my orange have a green fuzzy spot?

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 10:22:11 -0700

I was disassembling my orange when the anti-tampering mechanism turned on for the fifth time and sprayed my already stinging eyes. So I left the basement (where I do all my work) and decided to have a go on it the next day. However when I came back the was a green fuzzy spot where I had removed the outer shell. Is this normal?

Pumpkin: Tis the season - Advice on Pumpkin Carving and preservation, lighting

Wed, 31 Oct 2018 13:13:33 -0700

The season is upon us for pulling out your trusty pocket knife or K-Bar and carving into that pumpkin. I've done many over the year but thought I'd get some advice from others. We don't have a guide like we do on oranges and bananas, so I've started one but need contributions to the guide.

I would think there would also be new ways to light it without running an electric cord to it.

What have you done? Please post photos. Here's how:

Orange: Do they come in other colors?

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 20:04:26 -0700

While it is cheerful and a real waker-upper, the color of this product doesn't go well with my home office decor. Does anyone know if they come in other colors? Might we expect more colors in the future? If I can get it open might I put a new cover of a different color on it in the re-build?

Orange: Problems with the English language

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 00:35:51 -0700

If an Orange is orange why isn't a palindrome spelled like one? Shouldn't it be like a pallap? or palinilap? These things keep me awake at night.

Why is it spelled opossum? But the plural of opossum is possum. But the State park is Possum Kingdom?

If you answer to many questions you go nuts.

Strawberry: If I buy a satchel of these in a shop, will those seeds re-spawn them?

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 21:59:31 -0700

So, since I don't need to extract the seed to gain access to the internals, could I use this seed to re-spawn this item, so I don't have to keep paying the shopkeep for them?

I have two oranges, and after carefully separating each one from its delightful orange packaging, I proceeded through the teardown to the tasting phase. One orange is lovely and sweet, the other is quite sour! Why is that? Is there a way to sweeten the sour orange?
