Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Which is funny because apples produce more ethylene gas, but they don’t react as intensely as bananas, which just rapidly decay

Potatoes: sprouting
Potatos are terrifying. Now I don't feel bad about eating so many fries.
Hmm. I've always thought that bananas released the most ethylene; and that they can be used to ripen other fruit (or ripen themselves faster if you put them in a bag or something). ... But this seems to suggest it is apples that should be used for that - unless there's a significant difference between 'produced' and 'released'.
In any case, I guess it's something I might revisit and reassess.
