What’s a common “fact” that’s spread around that’s actually not true and pisses you off that too many people believe it?

    Well no, you’re switching between multiple definitions, none of which have ever been used culinarily, but more importantly, can you not name a vegetable? Are beans a vegetable?

      I stated the culinary definition of a vegetable. There are obviously different opinions on this. I have not switched my basic premise that a vegetable is the non sweet part of a plant which is not the fruit.

      Why are you having such a hard time with this?

        I’m not having a hard time, I’m interrogating your fake definition, so answer my questions: are peas a fruit or a vegetable? Are root vegetables fruits or vegetables? On the flip side, what about sour fruits like limes or blackberries? Are they vegetables?

          I pulled the definition from online, it is not even mine. I do appreciate you confirming that you are acting like an asshole. Thanks, I was not sure if you were being genuine or not.

            Hey, I keep answering your questions, I’m just asking perfectly reasonable questions that poke holes in your definition (that’s definitely real and not made up because you claim to have found it in the vast world of “online”) that you’re refusing to answer because you know it doesn’t actually work. Now, are you claiming root vegetables are fruits or do you recognise how ridiculous your definition is?
