    Yeah, monkeys open it from the non stem end, and they eat a lot of bananas, so I think they are correct, and the humans are wrong. Also rip reap bananas are almost impossible to open by breaking the stem - I grab a knife to make a cut at the base of the stem if the banana has reached that point.

        wow, just how fast do your fingernails grow ? I don’t see a noticeable change in their length in less than a week’s time

          A normal speed? I think I get a week and a half between trimmings. You don’t need much fingernail to do it, just enough to be able to push an edge in

            You don’t even need to do that: pressing your nail in requires too much nail, but “slitting the neck” can be done with less fingernail (and feels edgy)
