I can’t help but snicker at the first one because in Daria her dad pronounces Lasagna that way.
And for those curious, seedless berries like grapes and watermelons (yes watermelons are berries) are produced by snipping a piece of the vine or branch then dipping it into a rooting hormone. It causes the seeds to get a genetic error where they don’t form outer shells.
Dear summer journal, tomorrow school begins. My goal was to read the entire foxtrot series, which I have done, just find my comments. I enjoyed my run, and i shall stay for the Sunday’s and other favourite comics.
Is video lunchtime even a thing? It seems like something only close friends would bother with, anyway. Jason may try to annoy her, but it seems to me it’s a very conscious choice to have lunch with her that way, and vice versa, as if they both enjoy it in an odd way.
Uhhh, you can buy seeds for seedless watermelons, cucumbers, etc. They are not genetically modified. The seeds are produced by hybrid crossing of two different varieties that will grow into plants that are unable to develop offspring. Think mules.
I’ll give him the first one, but the other 3 are questions only a stupid person or a troll would ask. Whole milk is based on the chemical composition of the fluid, so it doesn’t matter how much of it is in the glass, seedless grapes are cultivated by clipping vines (cloning for plants,) and peanut butter cups are named for what they CONTAIN, not what they’re made of.
OK, I’ll take this. "Baloney’ is a mispronunciation. It’s pronounced “bo-lohn- gnya”. Can’t approximate the Italian word, but it is closer to lasagna than you think. 2. It’s still whole milk. Down to the very last drop. 3. Seedless grapes (and melons FROM) plants are produced from curing and/or grafting. 4. Cups are named after their function. Coffee cups and tea cups are made from ceramics.
Does anyone know that one subreddit called “shower thoughts” where people say mind bending things like how Jason is saying? Not sure why that’s the first thing that comes to mind…

Why is she even surprised that Jason would try to annoy her at this point?

If wheat bread is made from wheat, how do they make oyster crackers.

He may be annoying, but presumably you’re not required to have a video lunchtime with him. It’s your choice. Or am I being presumptuous?
If you’re traveling in Italy, don’t ask for directions to Baloney.
