no one eats 20 oranges in one sitting

Unless they are looking for a serious case of the runs.

But I admit to have over indulged on this particular fruit more than once.

@qyron grapefruit is my particular achilles heel!

Nevertheless we are physically limited by our stomach capacity and would be very unlikely to consume bioavailable fructose at the rates made possible by industrial fructose such as HFCS.

You know you don't have to @ people, we can see who you're replying to, mate :)

@Mr_Blott thanks but I find it easier this way because I'm on kbin.social and when some lemmy threads get big they don't nest properly for me.

Cool but clearly that's a problem with your browser or client because nobody else on kbin is doing this

@Mr_Blott yeah it quite possibly is my browser. Will check sometime. Anyway, whatever the reason, it's helpful to me when I'm on big threads.

It's easy to do - kbin pre-populates the comment reply button with your name so it's not like I have to type it out. (I think this feature is here because we also interact with Mastodon, but it's also useful over here).

The runs? No. A run to the store to buy more Tums is more likely.

When in doubt, both!
