      I have a female friend who is of the opinion that dick size doesn’t matter because only the first few inches of the vaginal canal has erotic nerve endings. I’ve told her that dick size is like breast size: some people care more about it than others and it is a factor. She continues to deny it matters at all.

      I’m a guy of average size. I don’t have any insecurities about my junk. But I have enough experience and watched enough (realistic) porn that I know it matters, it’s just not a game breaker like some insecure men fear it is. That being said, size queens are a thing too.

        Yeah, it was a dumb joke because the carrot is jumbo. Dick size doesn’t matter. Even small dicks are fine. What actually matters is how frequently a guy goes down on a woman.

      Chef here. Don’t bother peeling carrots unless you are making salad. You are just wasting your carrot.

      And use the skins in stocks, soups and sauces.

          You don’t need to make it sterile, unless you plan to use the carrot as wound dressing.
          Which is probably not advisable anyway.

          Maybe for a salad, i clean a bit more thoroughly. Humans are not that fragile. (unless you specifically are, in which case, do be careful)

          Get a stiff bristled scrub brush and only use it for vegies. You can scrub all the dirt off super easy and if you really scrub you basically peel them anyways with the brush.

          In root vegetables, 80% of the vitamins are in the skin, and the flesh is nearly pure carbs. You’re throwing away most of the good stuff.

            80% of the vitamins are not in the skin. There are exceptions where the skin of some fruits and vegetables are higher in a particular vitamin(s), like for instance potato skins are highest in iron or something like that, but it is untrue that the majority of nutrition is in the skins of these foods and discarding or peeling them removes “80%” of the nutritional value of the food.

        By “ratio of carrot to carrot skin” I mean “volume of carrot / volume of carrot skin”. Volume of carrot is ~ length³, while volume of carrot skin is approximately ~ length², assuming a similar shape of carrot, because the skin is a constant thickness (determined by your vegetable peeler). This basically means the bigger the carrot the less money you waste on carrot skin.

    They did you a favor. The advantage is, you only have to peel One Carrot. And it’s not that hard to cut it up, you could even make carrot sticks and dice half of them for stew, or cut half and shred half for carrot salad. The sticks keep nicely in the fridge with a little cold water.

            Basically everything in your environment is covered in human poop.

              Some, but not most. There’s significant nutrition in the phloem (layer under the skin) which is not removed by peeling. And even the center has nutritional value. It is best to peel them just before using rather than let them sit around once peeled, since the peel protects them.

          honestly i don’t mind a bit of dirt with a touch of poop. if i myself pluck a carrot out of the ground - i’ll just wash it a bit and proceed to chomp

          what i do mind is the number of hands and various containers the carrot goes through before it gets bought by me at a store. theoretically, nobody has to touch a carrot for it to appear in the store (harvested mechanically, transported in large quantities, thrown out of a box onto the store display), sure, but i’m not counting on that, nor am i counting on the fact they wash their hands properly

    Well yeah, they’re made to order. Probably forgot to enter a value in the quantity field and the system just defaulted to one, so instead of “2.5lbs, 10 carrots” ya got “2.5lbs, 1 carrot”. You know how much resources if takes to grow a 2.5lb carrot? It’s not a small amount. Wasteful, this is.
