- the depressing part is that they made the sign. Just put some bananas out ffs.monospaced
- LOL. an absolute classicdkoblesky
- This made me laugh out loud and believe me I needed it. Thanks for postingdkoblesky
- better than no banana's.shapesalad

- It seems like a cheap offering, but a Banana.. imagine you had to produce a banana while living in the UK. You'd have to travel to tropics, bring one back.shapesalad
- the banana is in exchange for the 9-7pm long hourspinkfloyd
- So you should be grateful of a banana, it's a luxury item, brought on a ship, filled with a gas to suppress ripening, grown in the tropics.shapesalad
- It's amazing that you can buy and eat a banana in gloomy UK in the middle of winter. So whether I pay or my boss, I'd appreciate it.shapesalad

- Wow, Hayoth. Really?
Even for you, that's... really horrid.Nairn - @shapesalad - a banana is one of the cheapest fruits available in the UK. They're like 12p apiece. For supposedly organic fuckers, at that.Nairn
- Is that kind of racism acceptable here?monospaced
- need more info: Is How ripe is the banana shortly after 9am? is it better to wait closer to 7pm for the banana to be the right ripeness?Krassy
- I, honestly, only now see how that could be racist. I've become that guy that doesn't see color.palimpsest
- Can't tell if Hayoth is horrible, a troll or both. At any rate, I'm sure they're unhappy and projecting a lot of feelings on this humble design forum.FNP14
- I saw the banana as a healthy proposal and its regional as a far-fetched link to socialism.palimpsest
- @palimpset - if it were any other [black] person, I'd've probably scratched my head too, but Michelle Obama in particular is a nastily obvious reference here.Nairn
- I can totally see it, specially given Hayoth's persona. I just saw him more focused on anti left than race and went that way.palimpsest
- I wasn't kidding when I said you each have a voice in my head. I read it in my version of Hayoth's voice.palimpsest
- He was in Korea and there enemy is of another color: redpalimpsest
- I like shapesalad's take on how receiving a banana is an insult instead of a privilege.
Let them eat bananas!palimpsest - The symbolism of the single banana. A banana sounds sadder than an apple. Because a banana was once part of a hand.palimpsest

- If the banana wasn't a badly veiled racist reference to monkeys, I want to know. But there is no other meaning behind it... it's racism at its ugliest.monospaced

Honestly, fuck all this talk.
I’m grateful to be alive.
None of my friends or family have died from Covid. Many of them have gotten sick and some will have complications. But so far, we’ve been spared death.
I’m grateful to be alive with my family.

I've been trying to call my friend since Thanksgiving, his wife just called me this afternoon to let me know that he died of cancer on Thanksgiving. She refused to tell me until after Christmas. She didn't want to ruin my holidays. I'm devastated...he was like my older brother. This is the second close friend that I lost this year. - Fuck 2020.

Florida approves plan to introduce 750 million genetically modified mosquitoes into the wild
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-u…
"In May, the US Environmental Agency granted permission to the British-based, US-operated company Oxitec to produce the genetically engineered, male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are known as OX5034."
- what could go wrong!??_niko
- The idea isn't completely crazy considering mosquitoes are main carriers of many diseases. But surprised it got this far with zero public debate or attention.yuekit
- Page 197 of report last para “...average specimen size 12” length by 6” height”prophetone
- "Oxitec’s Friendly™ mosquito technology uses two simple genes that create safe, non-biting, self-limiting and non-persistent male mosquitoes."yuekit
- The most important word in this story is "Florida" yes I said Florida.utopian

I've been thinking a lot about the repetitive headline of "2020: worst year, ever". It is like a hashtag. I perceive that it has become a patch cord, a catchphrase, and that it is not analyzed as deeply as it should be.
Besides thinking about my grandpas and great-grandparents -not to go any further-, and the atrocities they must have had to face in the late 1800s and early 1900s, I have focused on myself and what I have lived through in my almost 40 years of life rather than the pandemic and shit.
By no means is 2020 the worst year I've had to go through. I painfully remember much darker and more difficult years, again, personally and selfishly. I have faced depression, addictions, underfunding, unhealthy relationships ... I'm sorry but personally, 2020 is not nearly the worst year I have had to tolerate.
- And still way better than any year anyone has spent in a war, famine, or refugee camp.nb
- Worst...sure it's subjective. Weirdest/craziest year in modern times I would agree with though, nothing like this has ever happened in history.yuekit
- It’s an easy year to hate; talking about COVID is the new talking about the weather. Worse years personally? Sure. BUT globally not in some time...ideaist
- Totally agree. #2020HasFeelingsTooChimp
- Same. Absolute shit year financially but i got a ton of stuff done to my house and grew a lot personallyscarabin
- <Same here. I finished my back yard. Its been one of the best years for me in recent memory. Two new cars, 45 to 50hrs a week woodworking. Tons of camping,...lemmy_k
- Countless hours with my son, and we have all managed to avoid Covid.lemmy_k
- Right? It’s been quite a weird year anyways. I feel like I’m in August more than mid Dec. Covid made calendars go berzerk.maquito
