I know what you mean. There's a street market near me that occassionally gets in the most fantastic produce, it's a bit hit or miss though, even for seasonal as they rarely have the same stuff in each week.
But I still think about that perfect, sun warmed, juicy af yellow melon I bought there a few summers back. That taste was something else, it was like melon³, like there was just so much more melon to this melon. No yellow melon has even come close since then.
Yeah but fruit has also been selectivly bred to be much, much sweeter too though. Zoos now can't feed fruit to animals evolved to eat it as the sugar content has gotten so high.
I spent a fair bit of time in hospitals as a kid and subsequently, because the two are somehow linked, ate a lot of grapes.
I genuinely swear to you, thirty years ago white grapes used to be delicious, and unless they were getting old and gross, they weren't even particularly sweet. Their flavour wasn't strong, the skin was fruity and the flesh was slightly sour, but they were so refreshing and watery, and if they'd been in the fridge, crunchy too! Oh and they had pips! I used to try and swallow the pips whole as spitting them was gross, but ngl I even kinda miss the crunchy tannins they bought to the experience.
In some mad fit of nostalgia not too long ago, I bought all the green grapes I could find online that I could get delivered to me. I spent like £80 on grapes.
Grapes suck now. They are all so obnoxiously sweet, every variety I could get my hands on tasted like juice concentrate, and they're all freaking huge now too. Fuck whoever decided grapes needed to taste like 'cotton candy', you ruined grapes.
Lmao I feel like I'm letting the camraderie down now by not actually being Turkish (or even a brother). Zeytinyağlı cooking is crazy good tho and would go so hard on pizza.
Usually it just means that the topic of the meme/comic/etc is divisive somehow.
I'm pretty sure this poster is the same one who posted these a few weeks ago.
They get a lot of ⚠️ next to their usernames and just seem to post comics and delete their account to make a new one and do the same thing every however long.
If people stopped downvoting memes, they probably wouldn't have to delete and make new accounts all the time.
Massive amounts of downvotes display as warnings next to the username on certain instances, and this will attract more downvotes. There's possibly also a posting limit for people with huge amounts of downvotes, and more of a chance of instances hiding these posts.
And subsequently, many of their skills were lost to society.
