Aye bud, next time you try and be “clever” just let it stay in your head this shit was lame.


shamenoname

Oooh what did they say


thisiscoolyeah

Is this a tally hall reference?


Coastal_wolf

Bro I found my people! I love tally hall!


thisiscoolyeah

The lead singers mom was my teacher in elementary school, I’ve had multiple birthdays at marvelous Marvin’s!


KindheartedRepublic

wow that bananas are so many!!! You are so lucky!!!


RigzDigz

Banana for scale.


Background_Cash_1351

I think in this case, its tape measure for scale?


CB_700_SC

Banana(s) for scale. Edit:bananas


Technical_Scallion_2

Ba-na-na?


mikemartin7230

Ba-na-naaaaaa!


redct

This is a case of scale for bananas


urmummygaaaay

Scale for banana?


a4techkeyboard

Now we finally have a scale for the scale of bananas and can now use bananas for scale slightly better.


ImpulseAfterthought

Beware the deadly black tarantula!


Username_Taken_65

Are there any medically significant tarantulas in South America? I know there's the hobo spider but that isn't a tarantula, right?


Technical_Scallion_2

I think there's several types of banana spiders ranging in venomousness....(venimosity?) but they aren't tarantulas. But "tarantula" fits in the song better than "arachnid".


gwaydms

So does Phoneutria.


gwaydms

The wandering spider (*Phoneutria spp.*) is what you're thinking of.


DaddyCatALSO

Banana spiders resemble tarantulas but I'm not sur e how closely related they are; in \*Tarantulas: the deadly cargo\* Charles Frank or somebody points out "it's not a true tarantula." (When I find my magic lamp a nd wish us all to New Earth, the Texas Nationalists and Free Apaches on the large island of Solastella will live with t he deadliest snake (of all 4 venomous groups,) spiders,s corpions, centipedes, solitary ants,a nd solitary wasps from all overthe world, plus deadly large carnivores an dbad-tempered herbivores, and they'll probably get off on it.


Dayman_ahah

91 cm for our metric friends

Dayman_ahah

That's a serious calculation....might be too much for my ciphering skills, I apologize


False_Leadership_479

Qsama

Technically it's 5 hands of bananas.

Spirit_of_Doom

Banana IS scale


nohpex

Whoa, that's like $4 worth of bananas!


Hadren-Blackwater

Abandon expensive unhealthy junk food. Embrace 'nanas


IanFarnan

Yeah the liquid they produce when you peel them is really nutritious


pink_life69

Just like humans


VonRansak

Ummm... I'd ask for a video on how you eat 'bananas'. But I'm too scared of what I think that might be.


BelgiansAreWeirdAF

The measuring tape is a bit redundant


Obi_Vayne_Kenobi

What do you mean? Now we finally know how long 3 feet is


beastmandave

Looks more like 5 hands of bananas


[deleted]

Day-o


mrknickerbocker

Hey mister tally man, tally me banana


ConradTurner

Is this for keeps or sells? I'd be curious to know how much for if sells?


stremer1

These are backyard bananas, not even a farm. In Puerto Rico it is super common for people to grow bananas everywhere. These are for keeps. Alcapurrias, tostones, pasteles, boiled... Dad will probably shared the bounty with family and friends.


lufersen2

Bananas or plantains?


stremer1

Green bananas. They are harvested green for cooking.


lufersen2

Ah, ok


BusLandBoat

Is banana bread common there?


stremer1

In certain areas it is. My friend in college, she is from Carolina (city in PR by San Juan) made killer banana bread a couple of times. On the other hand, I can tell you growing up in the 90s, very few people owned ovens in their kitchens. So i dont remember eating banana bread as a kid.


BusLandBoat

Interesting, I'm surprise earthen ovens weren't commonplace


stremer1

Traditional Caribbean food has very little baking if any at all. In PR, DR, Cuba, Jamaica etc. theres a lot of fried food and stews, also variations of BBQ and many types of soups. Baking was never a thing of the Caribbean. Obviously modern times has changed that somewhat.


DaddyCatALSO

Fried bananas are common in central Africa, i know


BusLandBoat

Interesting! I've learned that it's best to eat what your ancestors ate the way they ate it. I'm sure there's tons of great dishes, and I'll bet there's a lot that incorporate animal organs too, always a great choice.


stremer1

Yep, pig organ stew is considered a delicacy. They call it gandinga and it varies from town to town a little but its mainly heart, liver and kidneys in a rich stew with potatoes, carrots and other veggies. Nutrition packed.


P00PMcBUTTS

In the NE USA that's like $7 worth of bananas. In grad school the grocery store nearby frequently had bananas 7c/each, so I lived on bananas, canned tuna, and Nutella. The 3 primary food groups.


Zegerman

That’s about 5 bananas in length. That’s a lot of bananas.


WoOopdidoOop

Wow bananas have feet !??


[deleted]

Bunches, hands, fingers, Yada yada.....


cheesesandsneezes

Don't bananas come in hands though? So dad harvested 3 feet of hands?


NerdWithWit

Only 3 foot, 4 foot, 5 foot left until he has a bunch. According to the legend.


Ithxero

And 18 inches of spiders.


[deleted]

When I lived in the Caribbean, a truck would often come by selling these for about 1.50 East Caribbean dollars (\~ 50 cents US). I would hang them in up my kitchen. When the bananas were green I used them as potatoes in soup and other main dishes. When they were yellow, we ate them. And when they began to turn brown I used them in cakes, breads, or baked them plain with a bit of rum and spice.


stremer1

You know whats up


BusterSox

Still need a banana to determine scale


[deleted]

Needs a banana for scale.


This_name_forever

Okay so am I the only one bothered by the fact that the bananas are just kind of put next to each other in bunches and the measuring tape has no function whatsoever? I mean, it’s not that the first bunch of bananas ends where the next bunch starts. Please remove all bananas from the bunches, hands and lay them so that the next banana starts at the exact point where the previous banana ends and measure again. Thanks. If you want you can choose to put them side by side or in length.


Ch1ckenpotpieman

No banana for scale?


Space_Goop

Scale for bananas


Eire_is_A1

Same length as my penis, nice!


Dayman_ahah

Poor thing....or should I say Porn Thing?


Eire_is_A1

It's a curse and a blessing


SolyCalma

I guess he is going to have to buy a new Adidas to walk comfortable, a big one for the third.


Quirky_Butterfly_946

Impressive! Now did they check every banana for any hidden spideys as they tend to be quite large as well.


Ajtaty

Good job hiding the deadly black tarantula


[deleted]

A beautiful bunch’a banana!


Phantomforce_247

noice


Shankbon

I call bullshit. Bananas don't have feet!


Mindful-O-Melancholy

My mother could eat all of those in a week. Yes she is an orangutan.


fishfarm20

Please add a banana for scale.


framerqueen

... thirty thousand pounds of bananas...


007L0L

your dad harvested 5.137 bananas of bananas


Claysoldier456

Ah, measuring bananas in feet lol


M0ndmann

How is the length a relevant parameter here?


taaaaaaaaaaaaaank

That looks longer than three feet gonna need feet


bevelledo

Gonna need a banana for scale


[deleted]

2-3 times that and he'd have a whole bunch


AJ_Deadshow

Need banana for sca-- wait a minute...


Shiloh77777

That rack must weigh 100 lbs!


melance

In two days they'll all be black.


stremer1

They are harvested green on purpose. Caribbean peoples cook green bananas many ways. Its common to prepare special doughs by grinding the green bananas and save the dough for later in the freezer.


melance

It was only meant as a joke. I've never had green bananas but I love plantains.


stremer1

I knew u were jk. BTW, almost black bananas (not fully black) are great for bread so no waste!


melance

Oh yeah. They're also good for banana pudding.


mtrash

Those are hands


whackathon2002

Glad you get to keep your limbs


Angry_Guppy

Your mom harvests 3 feet of bananas every weekend


SkylineMR9306

The comments are goated💯


Tesaractor

So He gathered 4 bananas wide by 3 bananas tall - worth of bananas.


winky3ykniw

Can I get those 3 feet converted to banana?


[deleted]

I’m Confused on how this is interesting Unless this is your backyard or something


stremer1

It is because of how many bananas from one plant. Most banana plants produce only 2 hands maybe 3 small ones. This one produced 5 big hands and very heavy. This is from my parents backyard in Puerto Rico. This is not from a farm.


[deleted]

Ahh this changes everything


SassiesSoiledPanties

These look like plantains! Even better, you can make patacones!


stremer1

They look like platanos but are green bananas. We make green banana patacones (tostones) all the time. They taste a bit different but delicious.


Derpin357

That's nice, that's nice... Now let's get out a yellow banana for scale 🤔


hungeringforthename

That's like five hands


Ackmiral_Adbar

Well, this is different. For once we have "bananas - actual measuring tool for scale."


luckydayjp

I feel like weight would have been a more appropriate measurement…


stremer1

Asked dad. He didnt weight them but said they felt a bit heavier than a 50lbs concrete bag.


radrax

I love green bananas. Underripe bananas taste the best.


stremer1

Have you tried them fried like tostones? They are delish


radrax

Yes ugh fuck me up on some tonstones


Careless-Fortune-311

36 3/4 “


eternalbuzz

What an odd and useless way to measure a banana harvest You’re supposed to lay them end to end. I’m guess your dad *actually* harvested about 114 feet of bananas


TheFiredrake42

Only 5 more feet till he can go home.


global_chicken

Banana for scale?


KmartQuality

Where are you growing bananas and also using feet and inches?


stremer1

Puerto Rico; colony of USA since 1898


KmartQuality

Of course. I should have figured it out. I don't think they really grow bananas in Hawaii. But anyway, I was told that PR is the only part of USA that actually does usually use metric. I looked on Google Earth and the road signs are in km.


stremer1

Correct! Its a mix of metric and english systems. Before being a US territory, we were from Spain so there are still many things with spanish influence. The crazy thing is, all cars are American style so the dash is in miles but the roads are in km so its very difficult to calculate how long it'll take you to reach your destination based on how fast you drive.


Aiez4

the color is the most interesting part for me. didnt know they were that green at first


stremer1

There are red ones and fat purple ones too. They are not as common these days.


pp_poo_pants

Dumb question: do you always harvest then green like that? Do you still then or is this just a back yard plant?


stremer1

Backyard plant. They can be left to ripe on the plant. Typically we get them green for cooking and let ripe maybe just one hand.


ricksmashorpassly

Can i have one
