This reminds me of the one Christmas where both my parents got the other an expensive new coffee machine. I knew. I was the only one of their kids who knew. I said nothing. It was really funny watching them open on Christmas day.

Good thing they could easily return one of them.

OP, you missed a quality joke by asking what to do with 23 mangoes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'll take the mango number five.

This is where you add layers to the problem by giving away mangoes. You give Alice two more mangoes than you give Gunther, and the dog steals one but you still have twelve mangoes. How many mangoes did Gunther get?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Five.

Started with 25, still have 12, need to account for 13.

Dog took one, so that's 12.

If Alice and Gunther got the same number it would be 6 each.

But she got 2 more than him, which is just a +1/-1 adjustment.

So Alice got 7 and Gunther got 5.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

They did the math

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Did the dog steal from me, Alice, or Gunther?

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And expensive. At least at the rate I go through them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Huh, are they? Should I feel fortunate that my family has a mango tree?

Who writes mangoes instead of simply mangos?

I never knew some people write it differently

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago

mangoes where he pleases

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I accept "mangoes" because of the English rule that nouns that end in a consonant followed by a vowel should be padded with another vowel ("e") before the "-s". Another example I can think of off the top of my head is "heroes", not "heros".

However, I also accept "mangos" because it feels right. Wiktionary says "mango" is Portuguese, and I don't know Portuguese, but at least in Spanish you don't pluralize with "-es", just "-s".

Wait, so...what time is the train leaving New York City? We can figure this out!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The train takes one person 3h. How long do 2 people need?

This is tricky since 3 isn't an even number but I'm sure you will handle this

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

And what about the pigeon? Ther was a pigeon dose that put us closer to New York or Chicago.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Ya'll clearly havent had mango graham fridge cakes. Simple to make and freaking delicious.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Pickle em, naturally

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You know how to solve this son!

Son: eats everything, no problem!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Son: eats 1/5th of mangoes and brings 1/5th of the remaining amount to school

Friend: eats half of the amount son brings to school

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can turn these mangos into man-gones pretty quickly if you eat them on their own or with some Tajin seasoning; alternatively, you can't have too much mango habenero sauce around the house. (I will admit that it is too spicy for me sometimes).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

There's also mango milkshake, which is amazing and will use up a lot of mangoes, same with mango lassi/smoothie, and mango cheesecake is underrated.

I'm sure I can think of recipes for that amount of mangoes, living in a place where mangoes are very common in the summer and eaten a lot, it's just not a big amount.

You can also make mango parfait or salad.

What would you do with 25 mangoes? Put em on that fucking train to Chicago, of course

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

well actually you fly 10 to Chicago and out them on a train to New York, now the rail distance from new your to Chicago is 1300kms the train from New york launches at 13:15 going at an avg pace of 85 Mph while the train from Chicago launches at 2:35 p.m. goong an avg speed of 34 m/s

so the question is, how many mangoes will not be smashed to shit when he two trains collide?

Wait until they are fully ripe and then freeze them for smoothies!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Find a recipe for dim sum restaurant style mango pudding.

Or Thai mango sticky rice.

Or just dice them up and use them as topping for yogurts and ice cream. Ripe mangoes are delicious.
