For anyone wondering, this doesn't actually work, because the bananas will realize they are upside-down.

They’re just happy to see you
That's why you should cover them. If they don't have any visual references to the horizon, their vestibular system will trick them into thinking they are upside down.
You meant to say "trick them into thinking they are NOT upside down" :-D
This is getting too philosophical.
What if they are Australian Bananas?
Fun fact: Queensland accounts for 97 percent of Australia's banana production, so this sounds like a question for a Queenslander.
Now, if only there is someone we know on Lemmy from Queensland...
I'm a Queenslander! Only joking, I'm just brain damaged.
Statocytes, my man.
But I'm right side up? I think?
Yeah, it's probably more like a chemical reaction of some kind. Like how some flowers close at night.
Chat is this real?
All bananas are fucking bananas if you're horny and motivated enough.
Actually bananas reproduce asexual
Yes! My mom had has some hanging bananas that have been yellow and perfect for years.
Don't know if hanging them works, but I can see it - The gasses they give off ripen them, so being up in the air means more surface area exposed to air and less gas trapped against it
Common enough there are lots of iterations of the product (minus the height which is a real shame):
Some reading here and in the comments… whatta y’all think about banana ripening?
My dad did that, and one day I walked out of my room and saw only peels on the hanger. I looked down and saw 3 naked bananas on the floor.
But they did take longer to spoil. That's why we forgot about them.
I hang mine, not by a hanger that's weird, but by an old paper tower roll holder that is just three metal arms that I now hang bananas from, which is probably weirder than a hanger. I think they ripen at the same rate, but they don't get bruised from sitting on a counter or something. I happen to prefer my bananas with splotchy peels.
Anyway, also have totally come into my kitchen to peels agape, banana meat exposed for the world to see, dangling as though they'd been sentenced for murder in the Old West.
The bananas won't be fooled, because everyone knows that bananas are straight until they get picked and the banana bender puts the bend in them.
Is there any way I can determine how big that coat hanger is? Is there something I can compare it to for scale?
The Deep Texts... As Ancient as they are Powerful.
Bananas don't grow on trees, they are berries that grow off a stem.
I remember vaguely from biology class that banana plants look like trees but are quite fragile indeed
I've heard this works better if you use a small hammock instead of a hanger.
I use a hammock every day!
My banana is always green and ripe.
Maybe I should shower.
Keep them swaddled in their own twin bed and they fall right off the bone.
dumb bastards
I just hang my bananas from the telephone wire to let others know I deal in bananas.
Is the off-gas heavier than air? That could explain it
Is the off-gas heavier than air?
Actually, no. There are very few organic hormones that are lighter than air, probably just this one.
Not much lighter either, by the way.
Thx
