If this turns out to not be true, and just said for the amusement of thinking of all the people jiggling their keys at insects, it reminds me of something a friend in high-school said to me:
"If you peel a banana, take a bite off the top, and then poke your index finger in to the middle of it, it will split in to perfect thirds".
Upon trying this, I discovered it was not true, and my friend just wanted to see me stick my finger in a banana...
- ithkuil 3y agoI never tried (yet) but a quick search reveals a lot of people filming the "banana split in thirds" action, e.g. https://youtu.be/NoGXTXsamt4?si=ANNTdtcu1trOdQXP https://youtu.be/NoGXTXsamt4?si=ANNTdtcu1trOdQXP It's still technically possible it's a hoax but, boy, that's a lot of effort to provide fake content to support the hoax.

- ginsider_oaks 3y agofunnily my friend just discovered that you can split it into thirds a few day ago and now does it whenever he eats a banana
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoA banana does actually third itself when split. I'm still going to shake my keys at the next swarm I passby.
- JR1427 3y agoHa, no way! All this time I thought this was him being silly! (For the record, the banana did NOT split nicely)

- johndunne 3y agoActually, I do this when making a banana split. Cut a piece off the top and then slowly press the banana into thirds. Then, lower the banana, with the bottom part of the banana still intact, into a tall glass. Smoother with cream, ice cream and/or syrup. Makes for a solid banana split.
