  One of our bioinformatics has a sign at his desk that says “taxonomy is a social construct”.

    “taxonomy is a social construct”

    i mean for bacteria it actually is because bacteria can exchange genes across “species” so it’s not really a species… at least not in the sense of eukaryotes (where species are defined such that different species cannot exchange genes with each other)

    Conservatives hate this one trick!

    (The trick: literally everything in all aspects of reality, from the larges to smallest scales to every branch of life and consciousness is a motherfucking SPECTRUM. No hard lines. Nothing is solid. Not even the matter you’re standing or sitting on.)

  I wonder how many people think that this;

  is what a coconut actually looks like.

    That coconut is clearly not on a palm tree, mate. /s

    Also not a nut.

      It’s the coco fruit

    To be honest, I’ve noticed that with lots of foods. I know what the thing looks like in stores, but I have no idea what it’s like in nature.

    Cashews were another recent one, where I never would have guessed what they look like:

    Yellow cashew apple hanging on a tree. It looks almost like a bell pepper. There’s a green bit at the end, which contains the cashew nut.

    I got to travel Southeast Asia for a time, it’s atrocious how much we’re missing out on in the USA.

    Even the really fresh coconuts here just don’t compare to the ones you get fresh off a tree. It’s unreal.

      I lived in the US Virgin Islands as a kid. Our back yard had a seemingly endless supply of mangoes, bananas, avocado, lime, oranges (the real stuff, not the engineered shit we eat in the mainland), grapefruit, bread fruit, acerola, plantains, and pigeon peas. It wasn’t even that big a yard. Shit just grows.

    If that’s not a coconut, what the fuck have I been eating?

      Go get those weird looking white ones from an Asian grocery store, they look like styrofoam cylinders with carved pointed tops. Use a butcher’s knife to chop the point off. Insert straw and long spoon to carve the natural jell-o out with. Thank me later.

    Coconuts do not have milk, either.

    Coconut milk is a processed product.

    • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Processed by extracting the liquid from the pulp of the coconut…

    On related news, the salmon fish is not salmon color… And beef comes in larger packages on nature.

      the salmon fish is not salmon color…

      Why, sure it is! 😬

    that looks underripe to me

      Underripe is when it’s nice and full of water. Best when thirsty. Dry and ripe, best when hungry.

    • ameancow@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      From experience: all stages of a coconut are distinct, edible and used for different dishes, treats, condiments and ingredients.

    I’m a little sad that everyone’s focused on the coconut and missing the reference to the naked man who lives in a barell trolling the father of western philosophy.
