    I know this is probably a repost but the self-censorship is super annoying and has entered the lexicon in ways that can permanently damage human communication as a whole.

    Yeah sure censor stuff from kid shows but we’re at the point where “unalive” and “pdf file” are being used as code words. Everyone knows what they mean, even the censors.

    I have a simple flowchart to determine what is or isn’t a veggie:

    > Can I eat it? -> Yes -> Does it come from an animal? -> No = Vegetable

      Many vegetables have seeds.
      Pumpkins are already in the example, but think peppers, legumes

      You’re correct! “Vegetable” is a culinary term. “Fruit” is both botanical and culinary. The “tomato isn’t a fruit” nonsense comes from people trying to conflate the two; if we called botanical fruits “grunkles” we wouldn’t have this problem.

Saying "Honestly bizarre that tomatoes get all the flack for not being a vegetable because they're technically a fruit when: A. There are a ton of fruits that get categorized as vegetables. Like this also applies to pumpkins, squashes, and cucumbers. B. The fucking mushrooms are standing there at the back of the crowd in this witch trial, trying to look inconspicuous because they got into the vegetable club with no fucking controversy, despite the fact they're not even plants.

    Fruit has a botanical and a culinary definition.

    Vegetable only has a culinary definition.

    Trying to decide on what food fits which category purely on the botanical definition of fruit is silly. In many other languages, the botanical and culinary definition even use completely different words. It’s like saying lobster is red meat using a scientific definition of red.

    But if we are having fun with this, rhubarb: definitely no fruit, but far too sweet, too often consumed raw or minimally processed, and far too at home in a yoghurt to fit nicely into the group vegetable.

      Having both definition of the same word that can be confused with each other is also silly, the culinary definition should find a new word.
