An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I haven't had frozen banana since the chocolate covered ones when I was a kid. I remember them being very hard. Maybe these weren't in the freezer long enough to get that hard. Tasted like banana ice cream, but it was just banana.

The technical reason is that it lyses the cells. The freezing process causes the water in the cells to expand, often beyond the boundary of their cell membrane/ cell wall. The breaks/ punctures the membrane/ wall. These releases more sugars, that otherwise would require either chewing or digestion to expose.

I usually freeze between 20-60 lbs of banana a month, at least during summer/ fall when banana's are a plenty.

Are you the guy that goes to the banana festival in hawaii and can't stand the cavendish?

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

There’s always money in the banana stand.

I mean, I certainly picture a tropical dingdong eating a lot of bananas

Op asks a question then absolutely roasts you for knowing the answer. A sight to behold

I took it as the picture was OP taking notes excitedly.

I don't wear red-framed glasses.

Anymore. People made fun of me. Said I wasn't the flashy type. Told me to stay in my lane. Fine.

I hoped it would be taken as a joke, a light jab, a bit of razzing for fun.

But, if I write it, I own it. My humor doesn't always land, and thems the breaks.

Hey, I thought it was hilarious
