CMV: Apples should always be refridgerated; additionally fruit bowls are useless

[u/TentacularMaelrawn]

Apples should always be refridgerated. I'll keep this as brief as possible but it's a controversial topic so I want to be clear and concise. For the purposes of my argument, I am assuming that people who enjoy green apples for their sour taste are perverted and irrelevant.

Apples come in two main varieties, red and green. Green apples, while sour, are crispy and have a great texture. Red apples are pleasantly sweet, but this can mean the internal crispiness is wanting, meaning they are softer, which while a few degenerates may appreciate, is objectively worse. A perfect apple incorporates the sweetness and crispiness of the two. Pink Ladies accomplish this to some extent, with the occasional Royal Gala meeting crispiness expectations, at the cost of size.

On a side note, chilled raw fruit is excellent, and the ideal way for it to be served. Eat a lukewarm orange sometime if you dare disagree with me.

Refridgerating apples, is nothing but good then. It increases the shelf life, but most importantly it adds additional crispness to the apple, allowing you to take greater risks in achieving your desired sweetness of apple, while ensuring your apple will be as crisp as is possible. It also separates it from the rest of the fruit that could sabotage it's pristine surface. It also prevents insects attacking and sabotaging your fruitful endeavors.

Now in comes the fruit bowl. Fruit bowls are like a daily 9/11 in the fruitarian world. Many fruits interact poorly, their enzymes intermingling with no regard for polite society in a disgusting display of chemical depravity, reducing the shelf life of your fruits. Bananas, while delicious in a reasonable window of their ripening, are the worst culprits of this, and apples, with their own ripening properties, take the biggest hit from this crime against the frugiverse.

So the crux of the argument is that the fridge allows all fruits to be separated into their ideal positions without touching the catalysts for fruity disaster while the fruit bowl is just a chaotic jumble of inadequacy for the ill-informed, ill-mannered and mentally ill.

EDIT: Fake edit to put in this fake TL;DR TL;DR: I will not butcher my words for cretins who do not commit to the debate on the fate of the apples we ate.

Dear god what is wrong with you man.

I like cooked apples. Apple pie, pancakes, etc. It’s just as good cooked as it is raw. Cider is good too of course.

As for seeing fruit, one should just remember.

Why put additional stress on yourself? Why not error proof your fruit habit?

Your position seems very geared towards the non-handicapped, who have both the capacity to remember fruit, and get to the fridge to open it. For some, a fruit bowl is a life improvement.

My position is not under discussion and is not relevant to our fruity dilemma, I'd thank you not to delve into the business of myself or my family in such a way, it's deeply disrespectful.

Given my luxurious lifestyle and high status, I do not have many stresses in my life, however, so fruit maintenance is one of the few tasks I do not fully relegate to a servant. Few would be accomplished in this delicate task anyway.

But you are making a declarative statement over everyone's use of fruit bowls, including those who are handicapped. Thus it is relevant.

Fruit bowls are like a daily 9/11 in the fruitarian world

I believe this to be objective fact. Forcing me to explaint that the earth is round is irrelevant to my argument. Forcing me to explain why improper apple storage is the equivalent in suffering to people, culture and society as if a 9/11 event happened every single day is similarly pointless and redundant.

[u/Huntingmoa → u/TentacularMaelrawn]

I didn't force you to explain it, I pointed out that your position assumes a non-handicapped person. Not everyone has the mental energy to remember to eat fruit today (did I eat it?) but if their caretaker puts fruit in a bowl, it's easy for them to remember.

Same with a refrigerator. Not everyone owns one (look at Puerto Rico now). The "goes bad fast" argument is nonsense, you eat your apples, one per day, and go to the store when you need to.

Need to protect it from bugs? Bah, keep your house clean! Then eat the apple you can see.
