Is banana a berry or is it there just for scale?

[–] somnuz@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

You mean Scaleberry?

First rule of accessory fruit club is, you do not talk about accessory fruit club. Second rule of accessory fruit club is, you DO NOT TALK ABOUT ACCESSORY FRUIT CLUB.

[–] Shady_Shiroe@lemm.ee 27 points 2 years ago

I think that's the top part of the paper bent backwards a bit casting a shadow

The worst kind of correct.

Unlike peanuts which are legumes

The taxonomy in biology can be really confusing. Potatoes (only their fruits), peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, avocados, lemons, oranges, kiwifruit and papayas are also in the berry club.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Potatoes are tubers, I don't think they fit the botanical definition of a fruit. They contain no seeds, for example.

The rest are though. Pumpkins was the one that always blew my mind.

The most forbidden Vodka...

[–] brennesel@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

You are correct, but the potato plant bears potato fruits, which are classified as berries. I will clarify that in my comment.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I hope you mean the taxonomy in botany, things are much clearer on the zoological side

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Here's the thing...

[–] brennesel@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Well, I'm not a biologist and even all my houseplants are constantly dying. For me, biology as a whole is confusing.

[–] wild@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I heard the seeds on the outside of the strawberry are berries.

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But not peanuts, they're actually legumes :(

[–] ComradeR@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I'm eating a legume right now! Cool!

I wonder if they'd consider Chuck eligible, though. He was undeniably a human but also a Berry.

TIL banana is a berry! 🤯

[–] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Old comic but still one of my all time favorites

[–] simon_creek@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Wow... my life was a lie

[–] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

What is a "berry" in fact?

[–] McInTyre007@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago
[–] darthfabulous42069@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The definition of a berry doesn't make sense then.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

There are multiple definitions for berry
