Black hole nested multiverse theory:

‘Inside’ of many black holes… there is a new ‘big bang’, and then another universe, which can form its own black holes, etc.

So… nope, not turtles all the way down, instead, singularities.

So then we are all inside a … progenitor universe’s black hole, and it is seemingly fundamentally impossible for anything above a subatomic scale to survive the transition… and thus it is also fundamentally impossible to know how long this has been going on or how this all started.

More commonly known as Black Hole Cosmology.

I’m just trying to be punny and lewd at the same time =P

But yes, I do agree that a third limb with grasping abilities would be useful in general, in many situations.

Oh wait… oh no. That means…

Run, they’re in heat!

I mean, I’d say two hands and one mouth, hahahah!

Respectable answer.

Porque no los tres? Eh?

People ask guys if they’re into tits or ass.

My answer has always been the same.

Legs.

Fit legs?

You’re not gonna care about how big or small the t or a is or isn’t.

Then, suddenly, Diogenes appears, plucks every feather from the duck, shoves it into the faces of those sitting on the bench, screams ‘This is no bird, behold, a man!’, laughs manically, shits in the duck pond, runs away.

Beautiful. fɹud͡ʒ.tə.bəl, I think, incidentally.

That seems right to me, the… what is that a lower case sigma?

iirc, thats the sort of… rolling ‘zh’ sound I was going for…

… though I think maybe we just have a natural dialect difference for how how to pronounce vegetable, as you’ve got the same vowel sound for the last two syllables?

But anyway, yeah, I think I came up with ‘fruigtable’ almost 20 years ago, upon first learning how much overlap there is due to all this linguistic silliness… so i choose chaos, and decided to add to it, and now I finally have a relevant time to use the nonsense/compound word, woo!

I am 100% with your well written explanation here!

Just one ‘nitpick’, that isn’t really even a nitpick because you did qualify the relevant part with ‘tend to be’:

A properly grown tomato absolutely can be so flavorful, sweet, tangy, varied, complex… that you could just eat it like an apple.

Not as sweet as most apples, but way, way more sweet than the typical mass produced tomato you’re likely to get in the US.

I’ve been to a few farmers markets where… a couple of smaller farms were growing just absolutely stellar quality tomatoes.

…

On the other hand, squash and zucchini, even the fancy ones from farmers markets?

Main difference I noticed was basically perfect ripeness, they still just taste like nothing.

(I guess I should also point out this was from 10ish years back, sadly, a lot of farmers markets now have a lot of people basically just reselling some particular, slightly higher quality but still mass produced fruits and veggies, than aren’t even local)

…

Finally, to throw more insanity on this terminology dumpster fire…

Corn.

Corn is arguably, from different domains of technical or colloquial meaning… a fruit, vegetable, and grain.

After millennia of us artifically selecting (and then just outright genetically engineering) what was originally, basically a kind of grass, we now have something that is now so sweet, that the US uses it to make HFCS, a cane sugar substitute… and then we jam that HFCS … into bread, soda, everything.

So… ketchup… is then roughly a tomato/corn smoothie, made primarily from two… frui-getables.

Yep.

Fruigetable.

You’re welcome, bwahahah!
