I bet the bagger had a good laugh while bagging that carrot up.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

I would've tossed in one baby carrot, to make sure it ripped 2.5 on the scale.

you can't always get what you want....

but if you try, sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As a child my mother would sing this to me whenever I wanted something at the store.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Taking the approach to carrots might explain your username.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 40 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They did you a favor. The advantage is, you only have to peel One Carrot. And it's not that hard to cut it up, you could even make carrot sticks and dice half of them for stew, or cut half and shred half for carrot salad. The sticks keep nicely in the fridge with a little cold water.

Because they've been in the ground, and the ground is mostly poop

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 11 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I mean, that's reason to wash it, but I don't think there's a medical argument for peeling. Could be wrong though, but I've never heard of this being a problem ever.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago

Oh boy do I have bad news for you.

Basically everything in your environment is covered in human poop.

If you bring a carrot into your home it has way less poop on it than your toothbrush.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 months ago

Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'll be sick if I eat the outer layer, I'm just grossed out by the thought.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Medical argument against it actually, as you remove most of the healthy stuff.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Some, but not most. There's significant nutrition in the phloem (layer under the skin) which is not removed by peeling. And even the center has nutritional value. It is best to peel them just before using rather than let them sit around once peeled, since the peel protects them.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

honestly i don't mind a bit of dirt with a touch of poop. if i myself pluck a carrot out of the ground - i'll just wash it a bit and proceed to chomp

what i do mind is the number of hands and various containers the carrot goes through before it gets bought by me at a store. theoretically, nobody has to touch a carrot for it to appear in the store (harvested mechanically, transported in large quantities, thrown out of a box onto the store display), sure, but i'm not counting on that, nor am i counting on the fact they wash their hands properly

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 1 points 6 months ago

In root vegetables, 80% of the vitamins are in the skin, and the flesh is nearly pure carbs. You're throwing away most of the good stuff.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

Same reason some people peel potatoes. I don't bother myself, I just wash them (unless I'm eating the carrot fresh without cooking)

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 6 months ago

Because the peel tastes nasty?

Thumbnail definitely had me expecting something else.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 22 points 6 months ago

For some, it's exactly that.

[–] rosco385@lemmy.wtf 28 points 6 months ago

It's like a baby's arm holding an apple.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 25 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That’s an ass carrot if I’ve ever seen one.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Something something flared base

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

to fill out the something somethings for the unaware audience -

if you get something into your bum fully, it's very hard to get out on your own without hurting yourself, and your ass can suck that thing in in a second - so unless you're an avid fan of going to a doctor to get something out of your butt, the object you're penetrating yourself with has to have a flared base - that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in, which will stop the thing from sliding in

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago

that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in

And don't believe your hiney can't suck. Every ER will tell you some rather large objects that have made it in. Make that base 33% wider than the widest portion of the object, or 7.62cm diameter, whichever is greater.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For extra kicks, try the ginger

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It makes me act like a twenty year old though.

vegan dildo

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 19 points 6 months ago

If that's the size of the carrot, I'd hate to see the stick.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Average Japanese carrot. And no, that's not a joke. They've got the best carrots.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, Japan has thick carrots and thin eggplants (which seem to have fewer seeds as well)

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago
[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Well yeah, they're made to order. Probably forgot to enter a value in the quantity field and the system just defaulted to one, so instead of "2.5lbs, 10 carrots" ya got "2.5lbs, 1 carrot". You know how much resources if takes to grow a 2.5lb carrot? It's not a small amount. Wasteful, this is.

[–] cryptix@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 months ago

That carrot might be going places......that many wishes they could.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Kuroda carrot maybe.

If it is those are very juicy and fucking delicious. Go to your nearest Asian market. Enjoy better carrots

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

When I find big carrots they always end up woody and tough, definitely not as nice as smaller carrots. And you are telling me it’s a difference in type of carrots?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Seems to be.

Used to eat carrots out of my grandma's farm when I was a wee lad. Have never found ones that taste the same.

But there is now a Korean grocery store nearest to me and is been great to get different varietals and seeing what ingredients are like from other places just because they grow a different one.

I've found the greenish part of the stem can go a bit further in some of the carrots which isn't the most pleasant but it's only been like one carrot that was like that, the rest were just a big ole tasty carrot. Surprisingly juicy compared to what I'm used to from the grocery stores I've gone to most of my life.

Wish my boyfriend was 2.5 lbs

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Your boyfriend is now 10 inches tall

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

10 inches tall, 2.5lbs, all cock
