Apparently this was an actual discourse going around.
Capitalism is the thing that killed the last staple crop species of banana and it’s what’s killing this one. I say socialism is the only way we will keep having bananas.
No seriously, one of them has already gone extinct due to irresponsible farming practices and the current one is on that path too!
Lol kinda funny because bananas are in real risk of extinction ( at least the cavendish banana, which is the one you get at ur supermarket and widely cultivated in latin america ) thanks to a root disease called ‘panama virus’. All banana trees are clones so they are very susceptible to root diseases, it already killed the more tasty gros michel variety banana.
There will only be one banana and everyone will have to share.
Bonus: If you are in possession of the People’s Banana and the People’s Toothbrush at the same time you get on free spin on the magic prize wheel.
If you possess the People’s Toothbrush and the People’s Banana and the People’s Stick you become Supreme Leader General Secretary of the Communist Party of the United People’s Republic of the Solar System
We could make a Zelda-like game with that
Communism is when potassium deficiency
Eh, just eat potatoes or something. They have over twice the potassium content per serving than a banana. Heck there’s actually dozens of other foods that have way higher potassium content than them. Even dandelions have more potassium than bananas… A literal weed. haha
I wonder why potassium would get associated with this fruit that doesn’t totally have a yk what.
Bananas still do have a very high amount of potassium, plus they are sweet and people enjoy eating them.
I believe it all started from that stupid scene from the “Honey we Shrunk Ourselves” movie from years and years ago.
So like I guess if you sibling is dying from potassium deficiency and all you have is bananas…
Yeah but who wants to eat dandelions? And potatoes get boring fast.
Having a sweet fruit thats extremely cheap and accessable helps fit the niche.
You don’t need to cook a banana to eat it and it takes under a minute to eat one.
And potatoes get boring fast.
You better be joking comrade. Potatoes feed the masses. Don’t be dissing the people’s food.
I’m not saying not to eat bananas, but if your goal is potassium, there’s way better options. It would take 9 bananas to get your daily intake vs like 4 medium sized potatoes… or like 3 cups of beat greens or 4 cups of swiss chard or spinach leaves. You could literally make a medium sized salad and get the whole go of potassium right there and have less than half your daily calories in.

Also, I’m just gonna say it, bananas are a pain in the ass to manage. You get a whole bunch and then there like a 3 day window for when they are good to eat. So I guess it’s good you need to eat so many to get in that potassium. lol. I mean sure, you could eat them when they aren’t fully ripe… if you are a psychopath, and sure, when they are overripe you can make banana bread, but like, nobody does that. Potatoes? Leave those things in an old cupboard for like 3 or 4 months, or longer, and they will still be good. Dry them into powder and have instant mashed potatoes whenever. There’s like, a bajillion ways to cook potatoes and add them to other dishes.
Dandelions are actually delicious. I’ve had dandelion tempura before and it was the best.
I’m from Honduras, yes there will be but you colonizers won’t be Taking all of them anymore
