in GEMS5 years ago

So, guys, what's a berry you can put in a salad but you can't eat whole even if you want? and if you do, you're gonna have a really hard time in the WC ... Nothing?... It's green and you put it in your toasts?... They call it Butter Fruit in India... They were the favorite snack for the Megafauna over 13000 years ago... sigh AVOCADOS!!!

Yeah, Avocados means testicles... I thought you would want to know that right off the bat, well too bad you're not gonna stop me now the word Avocado comes from the Spanish word Aguacate which in turn derives from the Nahuatl word āhuacatl which means balls giggles and I mean they kind of look like them ok, these delicious fruits for real they're berries, you know one fruit, one seed originate from Mexico and we are really lucky to have these guys, they almost went extinct dramatic music

As I was saying before I got shocked by your ignorance guys love you <3 Avocados were the favorite foods of the megafauna especially giant sloths love to munch on these I don't blame them 13000 years ago, and the avocado trees love that too because the sloths were almost the only animals that could eat the whole fruit and well... poop the whole seed thus spreading them around and all was well and good, we all lived in harmony until the plot twist nation attack only the avocavatar master of all four elem... ok I'll shut up...


A really unfortunate series of radical climate changes and the arrival of certain intelligent apes that thought that megafauna was mega delicious and started to make mega bbq drove the avocado loving sloths and most of its peers to extinction, leaving the poor avocado tree to face extinction without their fruit munching, seed pooping partners, oh who else could poop that seed? no one, don't try it, FOR REAL!!!

But fear not, this wasn't the end for our green friend, in a weird twist of fate the ape newcomers tasted the fruit and said THIS SHIT IS LIT YO!!! and fortunately they already new the agriculture technology, so they got all hand on deck to transform the wild avocado tree into the wonderful avocado spamming marvel it is today THANK YOU, THANK YOU, ANCIENT MESOAMERICANS <3

OMG Avocado! you had to mention why the fuck people in Latin America call it PALTA?!!!!... WTF is wrong with that people?! The AVOCADO is life, is love, is everything!

Awesome post dude! I'm really pleased to learn about history and laugh a lot by reading you, keep the work and let's make a bbq with a lot of AVOCADO or GUASACACA ha!

Because Palta is a Quechua word, I'm sure those mesoamerican farmers move down south eventually and they weren't going to leave the testicle fruit behind, the avocado is ancient, man

Oh my😂 Avocado is very healthy, I like it
