Dexterity is dodging when someone throws a tomato at you for telling an unfunny joke at open mic night (and also successfully weaving your tomato plant into a cage or trellis).
In common language and culinary usage, fruit normally means the seed-associated fleshy structures (or produce) of plants that are typically sweet (or sour) and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term fruit includes many structures that are not commonly called as such in everyday language, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.
These are strange times for Fruit club. Strange times…
Food is mostly made of sugar, complex carbs, fat, and protein. You could probably make a pretty decent printer with a dozen cartridges, and fructose would be a reasonable choice for one of them. The pizza isn’t going to taste right without fructose in the tomato sauce.
Yeah it’s a joke but I’m getting into multi-material printing and printed food is actually a super interesting application.
Botanically, yes. Not in common usage, though. Someone also tried pulling that regarding tariffs in the US and the US legal system said “nice try, but no”.
Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304 (1893), is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court unanimously held that tomatoes should be classified as vegetables rather than fruits for purposes of tariffs, imports and customs. Justice Horace Gray delivered the opinion of the Court in holding that the Tariff Act of 1883 used the ordinary meaning of the words “fruit” and “vegetable”, instead of the technical botanical meaning.[1]
Yeah, “vegetables” are not a thing as far as botany is concerned. It is a purely culinary category.
The distinction between botanical and culinary definitions often causes confusion. Botanically, a fruit is defined by its origin as a mature ovary containing seeds, based on anatomical structure and developmental biology.
In contrast, culinary definitions are based on flavor, texture, and how a plant part is typically used in meals. Sweet or tart plant products are generally considered culinary fruits, while savory plant parts are classified as culinary vegetables. This explains why many botanical fruits are commonly treated as culinary vegetables. Tomatoes, for example, are botanical fruits because they develop from a flower’s ovary and contain seeds, but their savory flavor leads them to be used as a vegetable in cooking. Cucumbers, peppers, squash, and eggplants are other botanical fruits frequently used as culinary vegetables.

Tomato is a fruit.
Eggplant is a berry
Strawberries are nuts.
Intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put tomato in a fruit salad.
If you’ve had fresh tomatoes that ripened on the plant you KNOW they can swing both ways.
Charisma is selling a fruit salad with tomatoes as “salsa”
You ever had peach salsa my dude? Or Chutney? The sky’s the limit.
Constitution is eating some after the opened container has been sitting in the fridge for over a month.

Strength is throwing a rotten tomato hard enough to explode on impact.
Rule of cool is being able to hit the moon with a tomato on a natural 20
Or is that low Wisdom?
You say that like I wouldn’t eat the fuck out of a fruit salad with good tomatoes
Intelligence is knowing Pineapple is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing it belongs on pizza.
Your pizza.
Not my pizza.
Found the guy not living in a communist country.
Could you imagine having to share our pizza with everyone in the country when you get one?
No wonder communists always look so miserable.

Tomatoes do have a wide variety of cultivars, some of which have considerably-higher sugar content.

Pizza is a vegetable
I had a feeling this is a USA thing, and lo and behold - congress says pizza and french fries count as vegetables.
so is wheat

These are strange times for Fruit club. Strange times…
I thought wheat was a grain?
Grains are fruits
All seeds are fruits, right?
Fruits contain seeds
Apparently it is both
AN OTTER??? HERE??? AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
pets the cute mod
🙂↕️
I looked for a photo of a sea otter with fruit, but all I got was AI slop. So here is one enjoying some crunchy
We don’t usually eat the wheat’s fruit. Instead we use expensive machines to get every last of it away from the grain.
The joke would have worked just fine had it said “Refill Octopus Cartridge” or literally any of a thousand other food options.

Umami cartridge low.
“What the fuck is an umami?”

Going for the ink pun, I see you
