it's fun to peel their skin, they both have juicy insides, what else?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oranges are superior to apples.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I hope you choke on an orange rind you asshole!

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

oranges are better.

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oranges have a thing wax-like outer layer. Apples have it too but its duller.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Why couldn't you compare them? They're both fruit.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't know, man. They're not even in the same ballpark. It's a day-and-night difference. It would be like comparing cabbages and carrots.

[–] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But they're both vegetables? This makes even less sense.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Very different vegetables though. It'd be like comparing wine and beer.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Vegetables don't exist

One is a root, the other a flower.

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

You can compare anything, just list the similarities and differences

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lil Dicky performed a song in which he sang "removed, why can't fruit be compared?"

My wife and I oft quote this to each other.

Yo, the brain's gotta poop!

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Each type of fruit has different KPIs

it's like dividing by zero. mathematically impossible.

Compare: Both are fruit, both are roughly round, both have stems.

Contrast: The one on the left is redder and less shiny than the on the right. The stem on the right is green and less woody than the one on the left fruit.

Additional research necessary, consider vivisecting the fruits to see how their internals compare and contrast.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

[–] Angelevo@feddit.nl 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

If Shakespeare could compare people to summer days then I can compare one type of fruit to another.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not to worry. Comparing apples to mandarines is perfectly legal.

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Finally! Someone else who isn't afraid to be the best kind of correct.

I laughed way too hard at this, my wife thinks I'm crazy.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My friend Jules told me that, in France, the idiom is about comparing apples to pears.

And they call a quarter pounder with cheese a royale with cheese.

[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A royale with cheese? Why the fuck do they call it that?

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

They got the metric system over there.

[–] BannedVoice@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

You lunatic!

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Wow. I really feel like I am comparing apples to oranges back in ancient Egypt!

Hard to tell with the amount of pixels used but that could be a persimmon instead, leading to a comparison which has never been made!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

[–] Oisteink@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Thats no orange

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Apples and oranges are often used as two things that cannot be compared, but there is so much that can be compared between the two. They're both sweet tasting fruits toy can make juice from. They both have tang, at different levels and depending on which strain or what ripeness. The trees they grow on both have leaves, roots, bark...

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Hey apple!

Knife.
