I don't put walnuts in it, I put mini chocolate chips.

This is pretty much full justification for the US Marine Corps to take control of your kitchen and prevent further banana crimes and also restore democracy

gently caress walnuts.

“Walnut” in Latin is juglans.

“Ju”– referring to the chief god Jupiter and “glans” meaning, well, “glans”.

Walnuts are Jupiter’s dickhead.

If you dig deeper, you will be disappointed. Anatomy referenced botany and not vice versa. “Glans” meant “acorn” before it was used to refer to the head of the penis. Walnuts are just godly acorns.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Ok yeah, chocolate chips in banana bread is way worse than walnuts. :yikes:

There's an enormous amount of content in DK64. If you were going to only have one game, I'd say that's pretty good.

Going to the grocer to consider the reams of delicious fruit on offer and deciding to eat a banana is like visiting Paris specifically to drink from the open sewers

it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'


the banana is perhaps the perfect companion to the crème de peanüt

I don’t know of any fluted or chequered bananas, but there some weird shapes out there.





‘Pitogo’ has little spherical fruits.





Fruits of the ‘Praying Hands’ cultivar have their peels all fused together.

Praying hands ones are great, love'm. We should work towards growing a banana fruit that looks like a humanoid, instead of going to space, in my opinion.

The Chode bananas are fine, I guess.

You could say the same about MMOs. Like over half of it is just tedious arbitrary collectables in different colours and minigames ramped up to increasing unfairness. (BEAVER BOTHER)

There's five playable characters yeah, but they're all basically identical except for what buttons they can interact with.

This is true.

Here is the recipe I use.

I transcribed it just now, so let me know if anything seems off.

Ingredients

All‐purpose flour: 250 g (2 cups)

Baking soda: 5 g (1 tsp)

Baking powder: 4 g (1 tsp)

Salt: 6 g (1 tsp koshering salt)

Cinnamon: 2 g (¾ tsp). Worth grating from sticks.

Eggs: 2, large

Bananas, overripe: 500 g (4 Cavendish bananas)

Granulated white sugar: 200 g (1 cup)

Vanilla extract: 4 g (5 ml or 1 tsp)

Butter: 100 g (½ cup or 1 stick)

Walnuts: at least 50 g (½ cup when chopped) I mix in more at the end till I like the look of it and have never recorded how much that amounts to, perhaps double.

Chocolate chips (optional): 50 g or as desired

Oil of choice to grease the pan

Procedure

Preheat oven to 180 °C (350°F)

Stir flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

Whisk eggs in large, flat‐bottomed bowl.

Add bananas to eggs, mash.

Add sugar and vanilla.

Stir in melted butter.

Add dry ingredients. Stir.

Add chopped walnuts, and, if desired, chocolate chips. Stir.

Pour batter into greased pan. 10 cm × 20 cm or 4 in. × 8 in. is good.

Bake for 70 minutes, or till toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.

Do not undercook. It’s the easiest way to ruin it.

nah, you just need to dig deeper. they were associated with juno as jupiter's wife and part of the roman wedding ceremony was throwing walnuts at the couple for fertility

also at least one and propably several women conceive with various edible nuts in greek and roman myth, ancient polytheistic religions were not inclined to let something that looks like a dick go to waste

strictly speaking though the romans also just loved eating them so the name referred to a myth that the gods ate nothing but walnuts when they walked the earth

Everyone loves the factoid that ‘avocado’ means ‘testicle’.

The truth is that the word was used for both the fruit and the body part long before the Spanish arrived. We cannot untangle the etymology and say which usage came first.

‘Orchid’ did come from the Latin for ‘testicle’. Nice one, Victorian botanists.

The second great factoid about the avocado is that they used to be spread by extinct megafauna and would have followed those megafauna into extinction.

Doubtful.

Wild avocados can be found looking like this:



Those are easily spread by birds. There is no need to invoke giant sloths.

The theory may apply to papaya, where we know that wild specimens are very large.
