This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They were all straight before we fucked with them.
Oh! This banana had ancient powers :o
Possibly, although hopefully fewer seeds.
None that I detected
Idk man, I think it has to do more with size rather than seeded/seedless. I've had small and large bananas both, all seedless. Small ones are always straight, big ones always curved. It's just how they grow out of the petals.
I didn't realize how similar they were to pawpaws! That's so interesting, thank you for this picture.
I'm Googling and I don't think they're actually related. They're from totally different parts of the world. But it's probably another excellent example of convergent evolution.
