My youngest was in a silly and fantasy based argument with their significant other in where strawberry milk comes from, they asked me to do a few AI images to prove their point and it got out of hand.

Other versions in order of making them and how hard my kid laughed:
The last one is the title image.
Strawberries aren’t really berries, they’re berries adjacent or something because the seeds are on the outside.
How was this reply relevant to my comment? I’ve still never been disturbed by them before. What they are technically doesn’t change that.
Also, I grew up next to my grandparents’ strawberry farm. I’m sure the term you’re looking for is “aggregate accessory” fruit, because each seed is technically one of the plant’s ovaries with a seed in it, instead of the whole fruit being a single ovary with one big seed.
I just always found that fact mildly disturbing, suggesting that maybe they’re not what we think they are to begin with.
Guess it didn’t hit you the same as it did me when I found out.
I honestly found it more strange to find out tomatoes are technically fruit, or that banana plants are herbaceous so bananas are technically herbs, which is entirely up for debate depending on how strict your definitions are.
You just blew my mind on the bananas one! Wow.
Yeah, so if you ever see something weird like bananas on pizza, just think of it as basil.
