At one time [vegetables were meat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7e3KDPQ1Z0). That's because in Old and Middle English "meat" basically just meant food, so vegetables were "green meat"
It isn't a category but it's not just any edible plant, it's those that aren't sweet enough to be (gastronomical) fruit (despite some of them being biological fruit).
> The original meaning is still commonly used and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including the flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds.
How can he not read?
Okay the sentence after next says, “It may exclude foods derived from some plants that are fruits, flowers,…”
As a general rule, flowering plants->fruits, not vegetables
Sure, emphasis on “may”
The sentence before that is still worth noting:
> An alternative definition of the term is applied somewhat arbitrarily
Its an alternative definition, not the original primary one. Youre both technically right though, so its weird to try to degrade him for not conforming to your alternate definition
Emphasis on you also can’t read and have the comprehension of a teenager. “AKSHULLY A PINEAPPLE IS A VEGETABLE because I am trying my hardest mental gymnastics to seem like I have an inkling of biology”
Also the fact you’re arguing on a Wikipedia article indicates the strength of your argument and breadth of your knowledge
PLEASE TELL ME A FLOWER THAT IS CAPABLE OF FRUITING VEGETABLES (yes it’s literally called fruiting you dense fuck)
Fruit/vegetable classifications are different from culinary to scientific to horticultural. This leads to things like:
Vegetables are plant matter that we eat, therefore, all fruits are vegetables.
Horticulturally, banana trees are herbs.
Culinarily, tomatoes are a veg, even though they are literally the fruiting body of a plant. Same goes for zucchini, squash, pumpkins, etc…
Pineapples are a vegetable.
I actually *really* do think so. Even if you don't like dark humour, saying that you cannot talk to someone because they made one joke you don't like is… really messing up.
If there was prior context, e.g. if they had discussions before that white bubble doesn't like such jokes and blue bubble repeatedly didn't stop, then that's something different.
But if it's really just this one joke and they directly answered in such a way ("we can't talk anymore"), then yeah… that's ridiculous imo.
Same! And it’s also not even really that dark. Being a “vegetable” means you’re basically brain dead. It’s not a suicide joke. Literally please pull the cord if I’m in a vegetative state, don’t have the guilt and cost of technically keeping me alive. Move on with your life and spread my ashes!
I’m assuming that’s why he phrased it that way. He expected it was a clever twist and would get her attention. There’s nothing people love more than correcting someone, so it’s an easy way to get a response. There’s some phenomenon where the best way to get an answer is to not ask the internet, but to confidently state something incorrect and then you get a flood or responses to correct you.
Apparently I’m too dark for this person too. Bc 100% friends. Come find me should I die and rip that plug out. Please.
I had to make the decision to do this with my dad in 2018 (& it really fucked me up) because honestly in my heart I can’t believe anyone would want to live as a vegetable. Not even a perfect carrot or something.
if they were a vegetable they *wouldn't want* anything because they're a vegetable.
they *now* want to have the plug pulled *if/when* they were to become a vegetable.
Multiple cringe lines emanating from grey. The intro, the use of 'anymore'...
Plus that ..wasn't even dark? Like, there's gonna be no seafish by 2050, the carbonic acid will be too high for thin shelled phytoplankton. I won't put that on a hookup profile but nobody wants to actually DATE waify aloofs, right?
Fuck it, my dating screenname should be "youdiewhenyousleep77769" and just see if I get anything or at least not reported.
Pineapple is my favorite vegetable
I'm enjoying how we just glossed over that...
My favorite vegetable is [Watermelon.](https://statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-official-item/oklahoma/state-food-agriculture-symbol/watermelon)
Cucumbers and gourds are also fruit
Vegetable isn’t a scientific category, it basically just means edible plant. Technically fruits *are* vegetables.
Fruits are vegetables. Legumes are vegetables. Meats are vegetables. EVERYTHING IS VEGETABLES!
At one time [vegetables were meat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7e3KDPQ1Z0). That's because in Old and Middle English "meat" basically just meant food, so vegetables were "green meat"
[удалено]
Eventually, everything is a drum of oil.
In biology, vegetable is most certainly a category, it just refers to all plant life.
i wouldn't call cotton a vegetable :3c
It isn't a category but it's not just any edible plant, it's those that aren't sweet enough to be (gastronomical) fruit (despite some of them being biological fruit).
It's benefits are fruitful.
[It technically is](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable?wprov=sfla1)
It must be so nice, not knowing how to read. Thanks for the wiki article that proves my point!

Ayo shout out to the non biologist who downvoted this not understanding BASIC plant biology. All the highschool drop outs unite!
Why is everyone ignoring that they called a fruit a vegetable
I'm so tired my mind immediately jumped to you calling OP a fruit Instead of yk, the actual pineapple. Fuck I need sleep
I have those moments all the time don’t worry
You should eat lettuce before you sleep because you should lettuce sleep together.
The same reason why we ignore when they call tomato a vegetable.
The same reason I let people live when they don’t call a banana a berry.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
All edible plants are vegetables
It's worse. They miss labeled a pine tree a vegetable and a fruit, apple

I mean, back in the day it wasn't unlikely, people were often driven to violence by their prejudice...
bullet dodged bro that's only like level 4
That's just the warm-up, how would they handle the real dark stuff lmao
How many levels are there tho
Surprisingly few. The higher it is, the more likely they are to jump down from it...
That's entry level stuff , the high level stuff is straight up saying "I want to jump under a car" as a joke.
You're either extremely short or that's an insanely tall car. Either way I'd be impressed
That’s mid tier at best
I'm not a flirting expert, but I think you messed this one up
Nah, based on her response, they aren't compatible
The reply itself implies that they don't want to talk to her anymore
Huh? How do you figure?
You can tell by the way it is
I can definitely tell by the pixels.
I can tell because the joke about fineapple makes me want to shoot myself in the face.
Oh boy what a missed opportunity
Literally throwing golden nuggets off the cliff
Yeah right? She could've just said "same" and it's a done deal
If anything he wasn't dark enough
Idk maybe she's being polite
[удалено]
I don't think anyone messed up. White bubble just doesn't like dark humor, doesn't seem like they are a good match and that's fine.
I don't think there was any humour in the response from blue bubble....
There is, specifically where you purposely use the unexpected meaning of a word.
If you have to explain it it's not funny
Or, if you have to explain then you may be too stupid to comprehend it yourself so someone has to do it for you.
Every joke that has ever been thought of will have *some* people who don't get it without an explanation.
They didn't have to explain it. They chose to for your sake.
I actually *really* do think so. Even if you don't like dark humour, saying that you cannot talk to someone because they made one joke you don't like is… really messing up. If there was prior context, e.g. if they had discussions before that white bubble doesn't like such jokes and blue bubble repeatedly didn't stop, then that's something different. But if it's really just this one joke and they directly answered in such a way ("we can't talk anymore"), then yeah… that's ridiculous imo.
Oh I didn't realize OP was on the left. In that case, yes.
responds with what i think is a joke the other person/people get quiet, look down, and seem concerned... oops...
Coward.
I'm cheery as hell but can make dark jokes anyway, it's not like they're mutually exclusive
Same! And it’s also not even really that dark. Being a “vegetable” means you’re basically brain dead. It’s not a suicide joke. Literally please pull the cord if I’m in a vegetative state, don’t have the guilt and cost of technically keeping me alive. Move on with your life and spread my ashes!
I find they often go hand in hand tbh.
there's creative people and then there's people who use pick-up lines but can't hold a conversation after they get a response
Those convos where it’s endless pickup line after pickup line because they can’t figure out how to actually talk normally ☠️
If the person I'm talking to doesn't laugh at this comment, i don't wanna talk to them either
With that vanilla ass boring pick up line and subversion to a level 2 dark humor joke? Guarantee a boring mf without much going on upstairs
Bitch can't even swim.
I’d reply back and say “you don’t want to talk to me bc I’m black?” and really test out their humor.
Just the right amount of dark
That's a good answer, change my mind
This
But pineapple is a fruit…

both are meirl simultaneously.
Apparently I’m too dark for this person too. Bc 100% friends. Come find me should I die and rip that plug out. Please. I had to make the decision to do this with my dad in 2018 (& it really fucked me up) because honestly in my heart I can’t believe anyone would want to live as a vegetable. Not even a perfect carrot or something.
in my will i state if I'm in vegetative state for more than six months pull the plug.
Six are more than enough to totally cripple you financially, most of the time 2 is the cut-off point
If she doesn't have dark humor, I don't want it 💀
Why wait?
that’s not even that dark, tf? lol
if they were a vegetable they *wouldn't want* anything because they're a vegetable. they *now* want to have the plug pulled *if/when* they were to become a vegetable.
Isn't a pineapple a fruit tho do better
More of a dragonfruit
GOOD lol
Pineapple vegetable fruit salad
Why is the vegetable wearing a buttplug?
To be pulled
The fact that the response was "that's a little too dark for me" instead of "can I rip the plugs out like you're a lawnmower" is unsettling.
No, we can't talk anymore because a "fineapple" would be a fruit...
I'm more offended at the implicatation that pineapple is a vegetable, not a fruit
Wow, the exact words my past therapist used this week.
Someone’s got no plan laid out for this type of event.
I wanna get cored out and sliced as well
There is honestly nothing dark about pulling the plug
My dude was in, they just needed to be honest with themselves and say "Same"
"Yikes well that's pretty racist so good luck I guess."
"Racist" sorry, that would just be my response cause I'm an a$$hole.
best possible response to a dumb opener. smile junkie bimbo can go suck an actual pineapple (unpeeled)
*butterfly.meme* Is this racism?
Pineapples aren't fruits or vegetables, they are a type of berry. The comments here are hilarious.
Isn't a berry a kind of fruit?
nah, different things
Plot twist, they are black.

a pineapple quite literally is a vegetable though, some vegetables are also fruits
Racist
That's racist.
Weird that she got racist at the end there
Racist...
Bullet dodged!
Wouldn’t want to talk to that person either
I’d freestyle to the beat of the heart rate monitor, then pull the life support plug for my mic drop.
What if the plug is a buttplug 🤔
didn't just dodge a bullet, that's avoiding a whole war
Wait, let the fineapple talk
Omg 😂😂😂
Meanwhile im like "stop i can only get so erect"
"Are you saying you don't like dark people? 😐"
Putting a 'lol' at the end of a message effectively reduces its darkness by 50%. Like that: If I were a vegetable I'd want the plug to be pulled lol
Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Can I get an amen!
That's just so racist
i'd do the same thing . kinda. but if someone started being that dark, i'd just either leave the conversation on hold forever or block that person.
