    Anyone so concerned with presenting as masculine at every possible turn is immediately sus as being closeted to me. Just eat the damn banana like a human. Or like a monkey, which is what I do. I peel it from the bottom.

    And as a gay person, any time someone says being gay is a choice, it screams to me that they are at least bi and suppressing those urges and impulses.

      Right? Like there’s one category of people that could make a choice. Pretty suspicious that this self-evident thing people can figure out about themselves is somehow a big gray area to that kind of conservative.

      real men don’t have time to waste peeling bananas. you either smash it on your forehead and eat the nutrients as they slide down, or you eat the whole thing in one bite.

        The part opposite from the point at which it attached to the bunch.

        Pinch the bottom, opens easily. Try snapping open the top and you get at best a smooshed tip at worst, at worst, it just doesn’t open.

          You mean the part that’s literally at the top?

            Yes, I guess in that sense, sure. But that’s not how you hang it and that’s not how they usually show you how to peel it.

            But kudos for catching me on my lack of banana growth habits.

              This is probably in “is a hotdog a sandwich” territory so that was mostly for laughs.

              The unambiguous term is “blossom end” because that’s where the flower attaches, but probably not helpful for most people. Small end? Uncut end?

                I like the term blossom end. Its kind of a universal point of reference you can use for any fruit.

      I wish being gay was a choice. I’d choose to be bi if I could. Most of the queer people I know I like better than most of the straight people.

    In a room full of republicans, proper practice would be to first loudly yell that you hate bananas, then to sneak a banana into the bathroom and deep throat it while crying and then go back into the room and accuse someone else of deepthroating bananas in the bathroom.

    Know a guy who refuses to eat cheese hotdogs and other similar food because he hates “food that nuts in my mouth”

      Protecting his heterosexuality at all costs. If a single phallus shaped food breaches his mouth he might lose control and turn gay.

        Like JD Vance, he may be tricked into thinking he’s gay when, in reality, he’s totally straight. All straight people accidentally think they’re gay sometimes, right?

      In home ec class in middle school we watched a food network video about making stuffed hotdogs where they took a straw and cored a hotdog out and then filled it with white, melted cheese from a piping bag. They squeezed too hard and it jetted out the other end and the camera was perfectly positioned to catch the hotdog’s thick ropes. Then they played it back in slo motion. The class was very amused.

      At some point you’d hope they’d notice that these “workarounds” are more blatantly obvious than the thing they’re embarrassed by.

    Anyone starts making homophobic noises at you eating a banana, ask them to unlock their phone so you can see if they’ve got Grindr installed.

      Is there a dollar tree variant of grindr that we could use to enhance these references further

    See I originally thought this was about how girls can’t eat bananas in front of guys cause guys make it sexual.

      It is, but it’s also accusing the guys who sexualize eating bananas of being conservatives in general. Both interpretations are completely valid.

    Arguably being spoon fed would be worse for their fragile masculinity. What kind of man gets spoon fed?
