Soursop (also called graviola, guyabano, and in Hispanic America, guanábana) is the fruit of Annona muricata, a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree.
The exact origin is unknown; it is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean and is widely propagated.
It is in the same genus, Annona, as cherimoya and is in the Annonaceae family.
The soursop is adapted to areas of high humidity and relatively warm winters; temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F) will cause damage to leaves and small branches, and temperatures below 3 °C (37 °F) can be fatal. The fruit becomes dry and is no longer good for concentrate.
With an aroma similar to pineapple,the flavor of the fruit has been described as a combination of strawberries and apple with sour citrus flavor notes, contrasting with an underlying thick creamy texture reminiscent of banana.
The flesh of the fruit consists of an edible, white pulp, some fiber, and a core of indigestible black seeds. The pulp is also used to make fruit nectar, smoothies, fruit juice drinks, as well as candies, sorbets, and ice cream flavorings.
Due to the fruit's widespread cultivation, its derivative products are consumed in many countries like Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia and Fiji.
The seeds are normally left in the preparation, and removed while consuming, unless a blender is used for processing.
In Indonesia, dodol sirsak, a sweet, is made by boiling soursop pulp in water and adding sugar until the mixture caramelizes and hardens. Soursop is also a common ingredient for making fresh fruit juices that are sold by street food vendors.
In the Philippines, it is called guyabano, derived from the Spanish guanábana, and is eaten ripe, or used to make juices, smoothies, or ice cream. Sometimes, the leaf is used in tenderizing meat.
In Vietnam, this fruit is called mãng cầu Xiêm (Siamese Soursop) in the south, or mãng cầu (Soursop) in the north, and is used to make smoothies, or eaten as is.
In Cambodia, this fruit is called tearb barung, literally "western custard-apple fruit."
In Malaysia, it is known in Malay as durian belanda ("Dutch durian") and in East Malaysia, specifically among the Dusun people of Sabah, it is locally known as lampun. Popularly, it is eaten raw when it ripens, or used as one of the ingredients in Ais Kacang or Ais Batu Campur. Usually the fruits are taken from the tree when they mature and left to ripen in a dark corner, whereafter they will be eaten when they are fully ripe. It has a white flower with a very pleasing scent, especially in the morning.
While for people in Brunei Darussalam this fruit is popularly known as "Durian Salat", widely available and easily planted.
Soursop leaves are sold and consumed in Indonesia as herbal medicine. The leaves are usually boiled to make tea.

Struggle session but it's just me trying to get out of bed in the morning.
Lmao somebody just drove by me in a lifted f150 with a Ted Cruz bumper sticker
Maybe the saddest chud mobile ive seen. Imagine unironically stanning that loser lmfao
I think we had like 4 people from GZD join lol
We need to do some agitprop. Find me in the comments being annoying.

"the Chinese are freaking out because their vaccines dont work"
borderline misinformation like yea its not really preventing people from getting it but its stopping ppl from having a serious illness and all vaccines post omnicron are like this
they've also somehow emerged onto the position that Ukraine is full of Nazis and that Ukraine should be given arms
if you want a thunderdome, just ask for a thunderdome we can section off, and not have millions of civillians caught in. take your nazi thunderdome elsewhere, like Milton Keynes or something
riley and hussein are the 2 on that show i haven't heard put out an absolute shitter of a take like that

I have the TV on because a relative is over, and Ellen is doing AAVE.
Apparently it's a regular segment called: "What that do"
Genuinely contemplating writing an essay entitled Gen Z: Not Nearly as Revolutionary as You Might Think that explains how gen-z culture is just "yaaaas" capitalism and does nothing to threaten the status quo (Tik Tok is the evidence)
Leftist filter bubbles give us a false sense of reality.
Counterpoint it wasn't boomers setting fire to police stations in 2020.
Tik Tok is also actively censoring more radical and leftist politics and it promotes consumerism.
Leftist filter bubbles give us a false sense of reality.
Alternatively Capitalist Filter Bubbles give us a false sense of reality.
In some spheres, mostly the influencer culture people I have to deal with in la and stuff (or at least it’s the most drastic but I’ve seen it outside of there as well) , I think a lot of Gen z people have really internalized a hierarchy based on social capital. Like people not wanting shit to do with you unless you have a certain amount of quantifiable clout, either by virtue of knowing people in the network or visibly having x amount of followers on social media. And how they treat people they see as beneath them based on something so arbitrary is wild
I think a lot of zoomers would participate in actual real life leftist politics if given the chance, but most get caught up in the ironypoisoned-shitpostladen-debateme-vomitintothevoid twitter loop and it ends up supplanting any real organizing they would be doing otherwise. Plus, the longer you spend in the pyschoverse the more doomer you become, which further dissuades you from thinking your participation would matter. I think eventually material conditions will get bad enough that this loop breaks, but we're in for the long haul at this point. :lenin-sleeping:
making your bed is basically self cucking, if you think about it. you're spending time and effort to make your bed look nice and presentable, only for future you to just fuck that up
I'm absolutely gonna tell future you that you said that to her
Is self-cucking where you just fuck your SO like a normal person? If so then yes that is like making your bed
lmao get a load of this shit:
So i went to :reddit-logo: & tried to go check out GenZedong and got the quarantine popup. Now, for context i use the mobile site version thru firefox so i can block ads.
On the popup (which warns of "a high volume of misinformation" lol gtfo) it gives 2 options: Continue or No Thank You. No matter how many fuckin times i tap "Continue" it does nothing. But, all i have to do is lightly brush my thumb across "nO tHaNk YoU" and it instantly exits to r/all lol
Real :freeze-peach: moments
Ah, i see. Firefox mobile for android with noscript addon. I block the fuck outta them javascripts. But i did check by allowing all on that page and it still doesn't work
Well, one of the buttons doesn't work anyway. Pretty blatant fuckery by the admins imo
Neither do I. I think if you don't it might be impossible to go to r/genzedong?
Edit: I say this because I tried oldr*ddit and the buttons worked but they required me to register an email to proceed
Huh. Well fuck that noise, i don't want r*ddit getting any more info about me than they already have
IKR? Like I know I could use a burner account but that would mean I went through actual effort for :reddit-logo:
My local city sub requires an email to post though, and that actually sucks because I want to be able to at least try changing the minds of the people in my community.

this pokémon has the habit of hugging its companions. many trainers have left this world after their spines were squashed by its hug.
and yet i still want to hug it, life is unfair
a big part of my job is ordering stock for cleaning, toiletries, gloves, all sorts of stuff for the factory I work at. and I have already learned how easy it is to just make shit up on a requisition form and they just like, get that shit for you the next day.
so I already started skimming supplies off the top from work lmao, during my first week. like all you do is say "hey, I need these, and here's why" and they just sign off the form no questions asked. like if you ask for 24 boxes or 27 they don't care, you said you needed that many so you must need them. provided it's not like 500 they just approve w/e
