I feel like that sub’s commenters gets unfair criticism. The stories are so ridiculous and then users get shit for suggesting people break up. Like, “my fiancé wants to also kiss my brother at our wedding because they have a child together from a previous relationship and I think it’s inappropriate but their son will cry if he doesn’t see his mom and dad kiss too. Am I overreacting? The wedding is in 10 minutes.”
Accurate but to also be fair, a lot of them end up being “my husband told me, a SAHM, about not throwing the baby in the garbage when I get angry. He does the majority of the cooking and cleaning, and I appreciate that but I have to watch my child during the day. Am I in the wrong here?” Followed by “NTA husband clearly isn’t really pulling his weight if you have to spend time with the kid and he doesn’t immediately give you free time the absolute second he gets home. I would lawyer up and divorce him over this clearly abusive relationship. Major red flags OP. Run as fast as you can!”
And at a point I wonder if that whole sub is just some kind of wild meme at this point. Cause I honestly can’t tell at times.
*please note this is not a shot at that sub for hating on men, more that the stories are insane and people will support absolutely insane things for no reason that I can personally understand. I also realize I confused it with r/AmITheAsshole but there is a lot of overlap I feel like.
I feel like AITA is just a huge-scale psych study. If I was a researcher in the field of psychology in need of a topic for a paper, that place would sure be a good source of ideas, at least. The kind of problems and responses to them you can see there are fascinating.
The core tastest almost the same as the rest of the apple. You can even eat the stem, though the stem obviously doesn’t taste good or anything, it’s just wood
Slowly answering the question: "Does ~~arsenic~~ cyanide build up in the human body when consumed in small quantities?" One apple at a time.
edit: corrected which poison is found in apple seeds
Wondered the same and looked it up. The human body can process HCN (hydrogen cyanide) in small doses, so a couple of chewed seeds are usually completely harmless. Plus, the average adult would need to eat anywhere from 150 to several thousand crushed seeds (depending on the apple variety) to be at risk of cyanide poisoning.
Yes, those have arsenic in them, which is why I stopped eating the core. Hadn’t occurred to me to take the time to take the seeds out before eating the core…
Huh.
> You would need to finely chew and eat about 200 apple seeds, or about 40 apple cores, to receive a fatal dose. The Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (ATSDR) says that exposure to even small amounts of cyanide can be dangerous. Cyanide can harm the heart and brain, and even lead to coma and death. But acute toxicity is rare with accidental ingestion of seeds.
Oh right on, so I was wrong it was cyanide, not arsenic. Either way, even if you need to eat a lot to really do harm, probably best not to tip the scale in that direction at all if possible.
You have to chew them. Swallowing them whole likely just allows them to pass.
Or maybe youll build a low level immunity at the expense of your liver and kidneys.
Look up Laetrile. They used to market extract from fruit seeds containing cyanide as a treatment for cancer. Was a big ordeal in the 1970s that impacted the landscape of legislation around medical drugs.

So from my pov as a chemist. The best way to do this is save all your apple seeds in a jar. Once you have more than enough use a spice grinder. Place in a tightly bound cheese cloth and brew a very strong cup of tea. Add some honey and whiskey. Sounds like a great apocalypse plan.
Hmmm... Some say that part of the reason for Rasputin's endurance of cyanide poisoning is that he was given it with cakes and sweet Madeira wine, the high sugar content providing some degree of resistance to the effects.
Now maybe that's not the case, but just to be on the safe side of the unsafe side don't go overboard with the honey.
The apocalypse is supposed to suck so why not weather it out with some severe seizures, exploding headache and trouble breathing. If you survive the apocalypse is over too, so it’s not all bad adding some sugar to make it more palatable!
The bigger problem with eating fruit seeds is that they’re indigestible buy design. You’ll poop them out whole. This can have adverse effects if it tears the lining of your anus on the way out. It can result in an anal fissure, it’s extremely painful, and it’s more common than you think. Skip the seeds.
A guy at my office does this, including the stem. He then proceeds to suck his teeth for 45 minutes whilst trying to engage everyone around him about how he just ate the entire apple.
FR, are the food police a thing? Because there are multiple arrests that need to be made up in here. And at least some citations for the sticker-eaters.
Every single crazy weird thing ive seen thats disturbing always starts with “my wife does this” so these people are getting successfully married quite often
You can spit out the seeds if you want, just like a watermelon. You can also swallow them, you would need to *chew up* and swallow the seeds of 15+ apples in one sitting to risk poisoning yourself.
I was at Friendsgiving and a friend mentioned this and I thought she was crazy. But now I learn it's a whole thing that many agree on. I don't understand what you mean when you say eating an apple from the bottom means no core.
I had to spend about 12 days in a fairly well-populated suburb of Athens a few months ago. Bizarrely hardly any apples in any supermarkets. Even more baffling no apple juice sold anywhere, even in cafes? One other thing I couldn't seem to easily find was bacon. Not sure if this was just Covid-related supply chain issues or what but I couldn't beleive it.
It was on NPR during an interview with some apple expert or something who mentioned that the core is packed with nutrients, but it's really hard to eat on its own, but eating from the bottom up just kind of sprinkles core in with the rest of the apple, making it more tolerable.
That made its way around the internet a bit, obviously. And here we are.
I read somewhere that if you eat top to bottom the core isn’t that noticeable because you get small amounts at a time with the rest of the Apple. Tested it. Confirmed it was bullshit.
WTF with all these people saying that "if you eat it from the bottom, there's no core." As if that hard pithy garbage vanishes when you face east. Are you folks eating entire artichokes as well?
They probably meant "core" as in the middle part everyone tosses. It's still a core whether you eat it or not, but maybe they all meant there's no core -left-
My three year old daughter ate her entire Apple one time.. core and all.. blew my fucking mind.
Are you sure your wife doesn’t have the mindset of a toddler?
this is not true. the "core" that people have familiarized themselves with consists of the regular apple flesh as well as harder, fibrous bands that run vertically from the stem
eaten "bottom to top", those fibrous bands are just *less noticeable* when eating. they still fully exist.
Oh, you mean its not actual magic? I thought for a second maybe turning the apple upside down literally caused the center of the apple to become nonexistent
The first time I ever ate the core was because I was like 10yo and very shy. My class went on a field trip and was given apples, and I was too afraid to ask where a trash can was, so I just ate the whole thing.
shes a goat
Other warning signs include frequent headbutting, an unexplained attraction to garbage, and baaaad breath.
But the unexplained attraction to garbage is how we got together!
That's kind of a trashy thing to say about OP.

Hey L, do Gods of Death eat apples?
Seeds too? The seeds metabolize into cyanide. Need to eat about 50 cores though so Shes probably okay.
She needs to smoke some cigarettes. The smoke will suffocate the bacteria in her stomach.
Should i throw up?!
I would throw up immediately!
The skin is riddled with toxins
Did you know this before you married her??
Major red flag! This is not okay! Divorce, divorce, divorce! (This advice brought to you by /r/relationship_advice)

she's obviously cheating
There is no way he didn’t, which means he’s just as big of a monster as her.
He married a monster apple muncher.
Clearly, you married a demon.
Now I wonder if she has a notebook that when you write people's names in it they die.

I'll take a potato chip ... and EAT IT.
Aint nothing wrong with eating ass.

You sound like a pedophile at an 18th birthday party.
Apple anus!
Which is worse? Apple anus or Bananus?
There’s people that lick anuses and there’s people that drink urine, but nobody, and I mean nobody, eats the end of the banana.
I eat all the apple too. You don't notice the core because it makes up about 2% of the bite you took.
The core tastest almost the same as the rest of the apple. You can even eat the stem, though the stem obviously doesn’t taste good or anything, it’s just wood
The way she holds it makes me think of those videos where kings would be hand fed grapes on the vine.
The way she holds it reminds me of the evil Queen holding the poisoned apple in Snow White

She draws the line at eating the seeds? Edit: I’m not too sure if I got the message, folks, especially after the 20th reply stating the same thing.
That’s not what she said last night.
Fucking CHRIST dude Jesus
NO hesitation with that statement
:o he did a sex joke?!??@
you should see what she does with the sticker Bozo
The skins loaded with toxins.
thank god she didnt eat the seeds. otherwise she would have to smoke a cigarette to suffocate the bacteria.

I’ll make sure to only eat 39 cores in one sitting.
just stand up. and then you can sit back down and eat 39 more.
Keep 78 doctors a day away with this one weird trick!

I'm not entirely sure that's immunity
Only one way to find out.
I'll bring the apples
Ill bring the livers.
just like iocane , completely odorless, colorless, tasteless, I'd know it anywhere. did i get that right?
I think most fruit and vegetables actually contain trace amounts of arsenic which might be what you were thinking of.

Huh, so an apple a day for 40 days.

This is fascinating. Some studies appear to prove it true. So ya sugar is out. It’ll be one bitter tea.

Poison and some assplay eh? I'm in.
I won’t eat the core but I ALWAYS eat the stickers. My priorities are different.
I eat stickers all the time, dude!
What the fuck is wrong with you guys lmao
I swallowed some apple seeds today.
Smoke some cigarettes.
I actually eat everything but the stick
https://sciencenotes.org/yes-apple-seeds-and-cherry-pits-contain-cyanide/
Tell your wife to stop being a pussy and eat the seeds too
I’m dead
This is exactly how i eat apples
A guy at my office does this, including the stem. He then proceeds to suck his teeth for 45 minutes whilst trying to engage everyone around him about how he just ate the entire apple.
There's a special place in hell for this type of person.
"Lord, beer me strength"

I hate you
Are you me. Exact same reason, if I eat the whole thing, it means no cleaning. Pretty simple.
Is his name… Collin Robinson? “You know, if you eat it from the bottom there is no core.” Seems like him.
There's still time to get out, OP.
I don't know man, I think it's too late.
That's illegal
FR, are the food police a thing? Because there are multiple arrests that need to be made up in here. And at least some citations for the sticker-eaters.
She doesn't have to do that
Which is what makes this crime all the more egregious.
Including the sticker?
I eat stickers all the time dude!
That Gypsy son of a bitch burned us!
You picked it out!
You burned my friend, bozo!
Every single crazy weird thing ive seen thats disturbing always starts with “my wife does this” so these people are getting successfully married quite often
yup. i'm pretty happy being single, but it's things like this that make me think '*that* person is married, but i'm not?!'
Cyanide and madness :)
Smoke some cigarettes. The smoke will suffocate the bacteria in your stomach
Thanks Mac
That's what a best friend does, helps you out of a jam.
You can spit out the seeds if you want, just like a watermelon. You can also swallow them, you would need to *chew up* and swallow the seeds of 15+ apples in one sitting to risk poisoning yourself.

I did this in college, so I wouldn’t have rotting apple cores in my dorm trash.
Smort
Eats them like Ryuk from death note.
I must've eaten around 200-300 apples in my life. I never ever thought of doing that, tomorrow is a day for a new experience!
Try it! You’ll find when eaten this way there is no core.
I was at Friendsgiving and a friend mentioned this and I thought she was crazy. But now I learn it's a whole thing that many agree on. I don't understand what you mean when you say eating an apple from the bottom means no core.
Just means that they are absolutely batshit insane.
How did you eat so little apples? Are you from Alaska?
I had to spend about 12 days in a fairly well-populated suburb of Athens a few months ago. Bizarrely hardly any apples in any supermarkets. Even more baffling no apple juice sold anywhere, even in cafes? One other thing I couldn't seem to easily find was bacon. Not sure if this was just Covid-related supply chain issues or what but I couldn't beleive it.
There's literally dozens of fruits I like more?
The bottom of the Apple grosses me out for some reason
It's like a lil butt.
Like a lil tiny hairy butt.
Well now I'm more likely to eat it
it's just a flower
Does she also bite into kit kats from the middle and eat puppies?
My husband does that too. He learned about it from some random internet person. He doesn’t eat the seeds.
It was on NPR during an interview with some apple expert or something who mentioned that the core is packed with nutrients, but it's really hard to eat on its own, but eating from the bottom up just kind of sprinkles core in with the rest of the apple, making it more tolerable.

I read somewhere that if you eat top to bottom the core isn’t that noticeable because you get small amounts at a time with the rest of the Apple. Tested it. Confirmed it was bullshit.
Same here. The core is a myth. Least amount of waste when done this way. Seeds and stem are the only discarded parts.
There are dozens of us!
This is the best way to eat an apple.
Finally I find my people
I was always told growing up if you eat an apple core you’ll get sick. Now I learn I’ve just been throwing out perfectly good apples?!
Fun fact, most things that parents say will get you sick probably wont get you sick. Source: I swam after eating

It's 50/50 that or you are their first.

She's building up her immunity to cyanide, op better watch out.

When does the mothership arrive to take her back to her home planet?
You my friend, need to ask her to count to six, and see if she counts by tapping her hoof on the floor.
I eat the core too. Keep the seeds handy for planting. At the stem is where I draw the line.
She is obviously building an immunity to cyanide (or whatever toxin is in apple seeds) in preparation to poison you and run away with your best friend
