Btw, how did the story of the paradise garden came to be? Historically?
Honey dew is delicious when it’s vine ripened and slightly warmed in the sun.
Lots of the time when people bash a fruit it’s because they haven’t had a good one. I will say that most honeydews I’ve had were plain, but a good honeydew tastes great!
This is the first time in my long life I realized that some people might not like the godly nectar that is honeydew melon.
Honeydew is good you freaks!
Only time most people have had honeydew is in a supermarket fruit bowl and it’s dry and unpleasant. It is great fresh
I wouldn’t say dry usually but those fruit bowls do always just end up tasting only of cantaloupe. Which is also a good melon but not when you want an actual mix.
This kind of underlines what a needy sociopathic narcissist the god of the bible is.
I MADE THE GAME AND YOU ALL MUST PAYcough I mean play. You all must play my game.
Almost everything in the bible underlines this.
I read multiple bibles as a young kid not for religious reasons but because i was bored.
I did not fully comprehend that jaweh was the god from our church or that i was supposed to read them as facts. In some parts i was sure he was just the main villain.
At least it’s not cantaloupe. Fuckin gross musky bitch-melon, that is.
Honey, do this. But we can’t elope.
Or a butternut squash. Those things aren’t buttery, nutty, and with how fibrous they are, squashy. It’s the “Greenland” of fruits.
I’ve never had a honeydew that wasn’t delicious. Granted that I’ve been out of the states a few years now… is this like the red delicious apple where it used to be good, but farmers have bred the deliciousness out of them to look better aesthetically?
They have to be ripe. It’s like people who don’t like avocado’s, I assume they ate a few bad one’s because avocado’s are super finicky.
lol even evil snek is like yuck. XD
Honeydew is unpopular because when you buy cheap honeydew, they can include too much of the rind without you being able to tell until you eat it.
Read Genesis as a tale of solar system and earth formation, followed by animal evolution, then human evolution. For an origin myth, it’s by far the closest to reality I’ve encountered.
“Let there be light!”
Solar ignition.
“Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures…”
First animals created were in the sea! They brought in the birds way too fast though. :)
They got the order of events mixed here and there, but if you squint real hard, you can see it. But Adam and Eve’s fall from grace really nails it.
There they were, walkin’ around butt naked, eating whatever they wanted, no problems. Then they decide to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the troubles begin. They are cursed to spend their days toiling for food (beginning of agriculture), Eve is cursed with painful childbirth (we evolved big heads because we got that Knowledge).
They suddenly develop problems that animals don’t have; shame of nakedness, knowledge that they’ll die, struggling with morals, enmity between the sexes, etc. Cherry on top, they can’t go back to monke.
CAVEAT: The version you read makes a difference. Whatever I’m cribbing off now isn’t as clear as the last time I wrote about this. Also, there’s a second creation story in the same damn book! Chapters 2 and 3 are a beat-for-beat repeat of 1. Who edited this mess!? 🤦🏻♂️
Remember everyone, if Eve hadn’t eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge, none of us would be here.
The snake is the hero of the story.
Me being here is no victory. The snake was a fucking villain.
You were meant to be the snake, silly.
Sorry that you see yourself existing as a loss. I do think you’re that bad though. I still see it as a victory, even if you don’t.
we cannot say how things would have played out otherwise, only that they played out this way, and this world suuuuccckkksss. XD
We know that you and I wouldn’t exist here and now. That’s a fact.
I’ll bite.
We know that you and I wouldn’t exist here and now.
We don’t know what would have been, that’s the point. We only know what “happened”, there’s literally no way to know what could or would have happened. Since we don’t really know, we can’t just say it wouldn’t be the same. I could just as well as an infinite number of other things could.
That’s a fact.
Yeah, no. Lol.
To me, we can say that different things would result in different outcomes.
Here, if eve hadnt eaten of the fruit, they would still be in the garden of Eden. I don’t know if you’ve looked around but this isn’t the garden of Eden and there are more than 2 people in existence. To me, that’s actually different to what we have now.
I’m sorry you disagree with that.
Whose to say that only Eve could have eaten the fruit. Maybe Adam would’ve eventually be tempted, or maybe they would’ve left on their own, or maybe they would’ve been banished for something else. There’s way too many unknowables to say that something could or couldn’t happen.
Having a sample of one doesn’t say much about the infinite set possibilities. So saying things would be different is just wrong. They could be different and most probably would, but there is no way to guarantee it. It’s unprovable.
This is all assuming we accept the faith based interpretation. If we do not Adam and Eve are just as fictional as Harry Potter and Frodo Bagins, and say nothing about what could’ve happened.
I said eve because she is the one who ate it. It doesn’t matter if it was Adam or eve, only that it was eaten.
There was only one rule in the story. So, no, there was nothing else for which they could be banished.
Honestly, if you really need to die on the hill that completely different things could result in the exact same outcome, despite the literal deviations, then be my guest.
If we’re taking God’s word for it all, then what is now was the preordained outcome of that chess master’s plan.
For all we know a biblically accurate God is doing Xanatos Speed Chess to ensure that the current state of the world is the one true outcome regardless of what happens.
Besides, as we all know from science - there are a lot of different ways to end up with the same end result.
nope. it’s impossible to say what the variant “timeline” would look like.
also, none of this can be “facts.” only speculation.
Nope, it’s beyond brain dead to think that entirely different things could happen and the same result coming out at the end. Can you even hear the argument you’re trying to make?
I’m sorry you’re unable to understand and thus resorted to insults. Try to comport yourself better in the future.
It’s sad to hear that you had to resort to pretending it was aimed at you and not your argument, specifically so you could clutch your pearls instead of attempting to defend the position of “completely different inputs would result in the same outcome.” It’s a pity, was looking forward to you trying that one but I can’t blame you for opting out of it either. It was a rather silly position to take.
It’s not my fault you couldn’t defend it. Don’t try and blame it on me. Try and have a little bit more integrity next time and own that you can’t defend your position. All the pearl clutching in the world isn’t going to fool anyone there.
Hey, it’s gonna be ok.
I love honeydew. I didn’t know it was unpopular.
In Europe it’s super popular, often paired with Serrano ham. That said, I find the taste so incredibly vile and disgusting, I believe it may be something like that herb that tastes like soap to many people.
It is mostly liked you people. Although apparently the fruit are better in the topics than the ones we get here. I can’t eat it though. It just tastes like it’s rotting in my mouth.
This is like calling a lemon that yellow sour fruit. Eat more cilantro, people.
I wasn’t sure what it was called in English, thanks for jogging my memory.
The comment was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. Stay fresh like Koriander. ✌️
Mint’s the fresh way to go.
I was a honeydew hater until I actually had a good one. I guess it’s hard to get at the perfect ripeness or something because the majority I’ve tasted had a bad texture or were tasteless.
I mean I’ve always had shitty supermarket honeydew and it’s been lovely
I mean you can tell if it’s ripe or not by pressing against the part where the stem used to be- if there’s a little give, you should be good.
I feel like people who hate Honeydew are like people who hate bananas but only have eaten fully green bananas. Like yea, if you don’t let it ripen it’s gonna suck.
Meanwhile I only like bananas before they’re completely ripe. When they’re completely ripe, they taste sickly sweet to me, almost rotten. The texture and more tart taste, just before it’s completely ripe is perfect imo.
You’re worse than Ted Bundy.
Here’s something I’ve noticed, fruit that’s almost too ripe has the best flavor IMO.
I mean you can tell if it’s ripe or not by pressing against the part where the stem used to be- if there’s a little give, you should be good.
I tried this but my dick popped all the way inside I think I pressed too hard
Sir, that was a coconut.
It also matters where you live, to a point. Living far away from producers means you get fruit that was picked very green, with no ripening on the plant. Even after shelf ripening, the flavor profile will be milder compared to a plant ripened fruit.
Not to mention some fruit don’t even ripen on the shelf. Pineapple, iirc, is one of those, it just starts fermenting.
I came looking for the bojack reference
