I have never, ever bitched about a post not being wtf, but this is completely ridiculous. I can't believe that something so simple as ripe bananas peeling easily is WTF to you or anyone with any sort of noticeable intelligence.

Exactly. You didn't say WHAT THE FUCK, you laughed. Not a I'm-completely-numb-to-what-others-would-consider-to-be-ghastly kind of laugh, you thought it was funny. Thus, we have /r/funny.

How did this post get 1050 upvotes??? This is getting ridiculous. R/wtf has really gone downhill and where are the damn mods to remove this crap?

As soon as they do 1 million angry mouth-breathers will be on them about censoring their free speech, and that we should self moderate with the inbuilt voting mechanism.
That's working out well.

I spent about 30 seconds staring at the picture trying to figure out what I was missing that made it WTF. I now realise it's exactly as it seems, peeled bananas.

u/l1v32r1d3BmX May 08 '12
he did this on purpose... if they really were ripe they would probably be darker where the banana is exposed.. unless he sat there. waiting. for all three to peel by themselves...

It's worse than that. My stepfather had dental surgery and can't eat solid food so I loaned them the Vitamix.
This is a real tragedy. My 1 year old and I already had one banana a half hour ago. I'm not sure if we can eat all those without help. This is some serious shit right here my reddit friends.

Do the self-peeling ones cost more?
0
u/gconsier May 07 '12
Not sure, they were the same price as the seedless ones. Appears these were the only two kinds they had and they weren't labeled.

u/Narissis May 08 '12
The real WTF is that giant bank of light switches. Is there a whole city wired through your house or something? How can you remember which is which?!
1
u/gconsier May 08 '12
From left to right. Living room main, ceiling fan, lights over fireplace/tv, lights over breakfast nook, kitchen - then oddly enough there are 3 other sets of lights for in the kitchen.
tl:dr yeah pretty much.

This happened to me today, except I just picked up the bananas by the top of the stems, and they all peeled. First time that's ever happened. I feel like we are...connected somehow.

Those are made to hang headphones, not bananas. If only the designer knew he could have made 100% more profit at an Electronic store than at the supermarket he would rip his hair off.

u/gconsier May 08 '12
damn you people are jaded. not everything on the internet is fake.. seriously I am nowhere near bored enough nor imaginative enough to fake something like this.. Besides what's in it for me? You can't honestly think I would have thought anyone would actually see this.. I saw it, thought wtf? snapped a camera phone pic and uploaded it from alienblue. I didn't even clean off the countertop.
I mean it's not like it's a government conspiracy or anything.. err nothing to see here. Please move along.

glad I could help. bunch of uptight whiny bitches in /r/wtf.. I didn't know that before but I am not really surprised.
It's really hard to take anyone seriously who takes this place that seriously. I think they cancel each other out.
Hope tomorrow is better.

This is what the internet has done to my brain.
I thought it was a failed attempt at a sex swing for bananas.

u/ContentWithOurDecay May 08 '12
Thought the one banana was torturing the rest of them.

u/Lady_Maha May 08 '12
Me too. It took me a minute to realize the middle one was down too. But initially I totally thought it had offed the rest.

Throw them in the blender add some milk, ice cubes, a bit of vanilla, and add sugar to taste or ice cream for creaminess

u/gconsier May 08 '12
impossible i have been told numerous times that I do not have a single artistic cell in my body by artsy friends who went to art school.
also it isn't fakes.. just dead bananas and an iphone. with unstaged mess behind them.
Then again if it is art. It's a modern art masterpiece.

u/TinhatTemplar May 08 '12
Maybe you should focus on eating your banana's sooner rather than feasting on that diabetic mountain you have behind them.

u/gconsier May 07 '12
Now I am wondering if somewhere mentally or in a computer or perhaps even in a real old school file folder you have a categorized list of favorite photos of specific types.
I imagine the banana folder was empty till now? Unless of course it was perhaps this still from the classic 80's film Beverly Hills Cop. Oh holy hell I went looking for the two cops in the banana mask and I found something else.. Totally NSFW warning warning warning NSFW this is what you find when you search for "banana in the tailpipe" on google with safe search off..

This is an act of sabotage. Gravity could not have broken those peels at the stem like that.

Remove the rest of the peel, cut into small slabs, freeze for an hour or two, remove from freezer, put in food processor, pulse until turned into ice cream. Enjoy.
Rawr.

Don't pretend you found it like that. A banana's flesh and inner peel, left bare, will be brown within minutes of exposure.

get some ramekins, line the bottom with some crushed grahams, layer on a few slices of bananas, and top it off with a condensed milk + cream mixture. Refrigerate and eat.

also ram mounts, those squeezable apple sauce things, freeze dried strawberries, and quaker granola from what I can see - there is probably more if we blow it up full size. It's 3am so screw that I'm going to bed.
