- wikibob 6y agoThis watermelon image has been widely debunked. Will find the source if necessary.

- boomboomsubban 6y agoThe debunking seems somewhat doubtful, they claimed it was just unripe or under watered but the seeds apparently signify that those are untrue.
- EE84M3i 6y agoI would appreciate a source. I could only find a source the other direction. https://www.vox.com/2015/7/28/9050469/watermelon-breeding-paintings https://www.vox.com/2015/7/28/9050469/watermelon-breeding-pa...
- nescioquid 6y agoI can suggest that the carrot and parsnip were probably different in the ancient world. There is a weird confusion around the Latin "pastinaca", given as "parsnip" because in antiquity, the two vegetables looked similar (white/purple). Further, Latin doesn't seem to have a distinct word for "carrot" (with an attested usage, at any rate). Laser went extinct (I skimmed some of the article, so maybe that was mentioned). And, well, today, Roman artichokes are different than any I've ever had (I believe it is a varietal we sadly don't see in the USA).
