Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a yeast.

Side note, this high school bio exercise and dogs in general should be the only "proof" one needs for evolution.

This isn’t entirely true. The fruit flies eat everything that comes out of the fermenting fruit, including the yeast, sugars, and other bacteria. They aren’t specifically after the yeast.

iirc flies vomit onto things to break it down then they slurp up the jungle juice, so i'm guessing fruit flies just eat whatever is liquid enough and don't bother vomiting?

Even Reddit learned years ago that it ruins jokes
