Here's a pic of some washed eggs in a refrigerator to scare the Europeans.

Bonus:

Microwaved water for tea.

What kind of monster stores bananas in the fridge?

[–] nrezcm@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Bananas in the US get washed and lose their protective coating so it's fairly normal to see them in the fridge in US homes.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I’ve never put mine in the fridge in all my decades as an American lol

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

And tomatoes!!! Might as well eat ice cubes at that point

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

refrigerators keep things chilled, not frozen. you're thinking of a freezer.

[–] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Europeans don't have freezers, they store their perishables in Angela Merkel's minge.

I kinda prefer cold tomatoes on my tacos than room temp ones, and I mostly use it for pico de Gallo, which is kept in the fridge anyway, so those I do store in the fridge.

[–] SteveTech@programming.dev 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, and I feel like someone's gonna slam that door one day and get egg all over their bananas.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 16 points 9 months ago

If "get egg all over their bananas" wasn't an euphemism before, I'm starting it now.

[–] DV8@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Once they've reached your desired ripeness you can slow down them getting overripe in the fridge.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

IKR? They go in the freezer so they can be dipped in chocolate. 😋

[–] nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

There's always money in the banana stand

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Bruh I'm not even European but that measuring cup got me shook.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Those eggs look almost artificial. Bleugh.

[–] MashedPotatoJeff@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They might be, food photography is weird

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I also just grabbed a random ass image off a search; it might be AI generated for all I know!

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

can you imagine searching for something on google and it just ai generates images on the fly

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yo why are you keeping bananas in the fridge?

[–] Soulcreator@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that's a stock image so I don't think that's a pic of anyone's legit fridge.

But to answer your question, you can keep bananas on the counter until they reach your preferred level of ripeness and then put them in the fridge to slow down the ripening process so you have a few more days to eat them before they turn to complete mush. I do it all time to ensure I always have bananas around at my preferred level of ripeness.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They brown more in the fridge. If anything cold speeds up the banana going gross.

Avocados work the way you say. I wouldn’t do it to a banana

You mean it speeds up the time until they're ready to be banana bread? 😋

As an American I don't condone this practice of microwaving the water, except in extreme circumstances.

Edit: as a typical American, I've realized that I implicitly assumed OP is American, d'oh.

[–] uis@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Microwaved water for tea.

This sounds so painfully long

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It takes less time than even an electric kettle.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It kind of depends on the “quality” of the electricity that runs your domestic property. In the UK there is some serious juice coming through the socket and the kettles there go hard and fast.

[–] lordmauve@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I shell out for the premium electricity, the 99% electrons. The 95% stuff is fine but I have a lot of expensive devices; I want them to run as fast as possible.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Damn. I didn’t know they still manufactured the 95% electrons stuff. Probably left over stock that they sell at discounted prices.
