4 panel comic.

First panel: A strawberry, a raspberry, and a blueberry are sitting on the floor. A tomato comes along and asks: "Can I join berry club?" – "Sorry, Tomato. Berries only", says Strawberry.

Second panel: Tomato holds up a sheet of paper. "Well this article says I am a berry and you're not." Angrily, Strawberry says "No way! 'Berry' is right in my name!"

Third panel: Close-up on Strawberry and Raspberry. "What?! I'm an 'accessory' fruit? What the hell is that?!", says Strawberry in disbelief, looking at the paper. "I'm not a Berry either?!!" exclaims Raspberry, sweating.

Fourth panel. "These are strange times for berry club. Strange times." says Blueberry. Tomato, a watermelon, and a banana are sitting next to it. Strawberry is sitting way in the background, looking sad.

Oh, man! Yesterday my daughter asked to confirm that avocados are, in fact, berries.
And they are!

You forgot tomato's line from panel two in the alt text.

The pitfalls of using the same words for culinary categories and scientific categories. We have to ask ourselves the hard questions: If you were an anthropomorphic fruit, would you refer to yourself with culinary or scientific categories?

[viking_hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I'd refer to myself with scientific categories. I'd refer to me so hard.

[prowe45@lemm.ee]

I think whether I was a fruit or not, I wouldn't want to operate with the assumption that I'm going to be eaten, so scientific categories all the way. As a human, I like to think of myself as a mammal/ape/homo sapien/whatever instead of wondering which parts of me are white meat vs dark meat.

[thebat@lemmy.world]

Chillis are berries too.

I never thought of using tomatos as a way to explore the themes of gender and sexual identity, but there might be something there...

[rocketpoweredredneck@sh.itjust.works]

I've wondered quite a bit about my dark meat vs light meat. I've also wondered how well marbled I am. I think I'd be delicious.

[clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world]

As they say, "you eat with your eyes" so most certainly not.

Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

[i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk]

Mind blown.

[thefogan@programming.dev]

Stregnth is being able to crush a tomato

Dexterity is being able to accurately throw a tomato.

Constitution is being able to eat a rotten tomato without getting sick

Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing not to put one in a fruit salad.

Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.

Person: Wouldn't a tomato based fruit salad be salsa

Person2: Hey I found the bard!

[madbob@feddit.nl]

Ah, the stoic blueberry.

[zoopzezoop@lemmy.world]

You mean, it might be fruitful..?

[racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml]

I would say intelligence is the ability to absorb the information that tomato is fruit.

[zoopzezoop@lemmy.world]

That would make an interesting Cap'n Crunch Oops All Berries!
