    If you’re from New Zealand and you see this, is it like cannibalinception?

      It’s only a slight difference, but we call the green stuff Kiwifruit and the brown stuff Kiwi. So it breaks the inception chain.

      Americans are advised to use the long form of the fruit name here, to avoid inadvertently asking to eat our endangered national bird.

        If you’re not from New Zealand and ask for a Kiwi to eat, is it like cannibalinception?

      That’s enough Lemmy for today. Going to put my computer in the trash and lay down on the grass in my backyard, look at some clouds for a while

    Curious thing: the kiwi fruit came from China to New Zealand.

        The Netherlands.

        Edit: No, I was thinking of Zeeland. Zealand apparently is the English name for a Danish island.

        Edit 2: While getting a pizza I wondered why the hell the English would call a place after a Danish island. So my first comment was correct after all. The Dutch named it after Zeeland.

          No, you didn’t, but it made me wonder if there’s a new one where the old one is. Another person answered.
