This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In tropical regions it’s common for ripe oranges to be green

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Tropical regions? Look at the guy! This is clearly somewhere in Eastern Europe!

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What? Aren't you talking about lime?

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, oranges only go orange if exposed to temperatures below 13C

[–] franklin@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What influence does temperature have on peel color? Sweet oranges require low night temperatures (below 55º F.) Before they will color well.

Huh, TIL.

Wife is one of those tropicals, she says they have both orange and green oranges, depending on the type. I asked her what type is green, and we have the same type here but it's orange.

Also Fanta is yellow, btw

Limes are unripe. If you let them ripen, they'll turn yellow.

[–] MagicPterodactyl@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

As someone with a lime tree this is so true. Limes are so much better if you pick them right as they yellow.

I wish someone would make a splatoon like game for pc. Likely they are worried about getting sued.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Which I really don't understand. They can't own the concept of capture the flag and other games like that. Crash Bandicoot used to have a similar game where you bounce on squares to change them to your color, something I've seen in other games too.

[–] UnsavoryMollusk@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Paleword is getting sued so I could understand the fear.

[–] mizuki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

but Splatoon has a fairly unique game mechanic, being able to swim through ink that you shoot being the primary one. That seems like something Nintendo could easily sue over.

~~Game mechanics can't be patented, only game assets (character models, etc)~~ I'm wrong!

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Game assets can't be patented. Patents are for concepts, copyright and trademarks are for specific things like assets.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

They can't own the concept but they'll sue you in a biased court and either waste all of your money or get you to stop making the game

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They did on PS4, it flopped even though it was free with ps plus. I still want to try it though, it's called Foamstars.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

It switched to free-to-play this month.

When life gives you oranges...

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

When life gives you oranges, don’t make orange juice. Make life take the oranges back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn oranges, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Anon oranges! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the oranges! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible orange that burns your house down!

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Make prison hooch?

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Those green oranges are the best oranges you can ever hope to get.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Those look more like papayas to me. Or some other weird non-orange fruit.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It's still free fruit?
