To solve EVERY question you ever had in mind.

One fine day, I was strolling around in one of my favourite places in the world - the supermarket (those who know me would know how much I like K-mart…or Homeplus). Anyways, I wanted to eat fruit. So I went to the fruit section and lo and behold I see a “dragon fruit”. That thing looks pretty amazing for a fruit. It’s not as intimidating as a pineapple, but not boring like an apple. I like to think of it as a cross-over…it’s red like an apple, with spikes kinda like a pineapple. So I don’t know why they didn’t call it the PINE. Anyway, I bought one.

So now I’m at home and I don’t really know how to go about eating this fruit. Do I peel it? Cut it? What do I do? Life can really be a maze sometimes. Thank God for other idiots like me. I type “How to cut a dragon fruit” into where else but YouTube and there are 91 videos teaching you. NINETY-ONE.

So I believe there was one original idiot who thought “How do I cut a dragon fruit? Hey, what if there were millions of other people out there who also didn’t know how to cut one up? I really should post a video teaching them how to do it…because you know, life would seriously suck if you didn’t know how to cut up a dragon fruit.” Okay, that….sounds reasonable enough to me.

But then … when the second guy came along, what was he thinking?? “Oh, I really want to eat this fruit but just how the hell do you cut it up? Oh hey, there’s a guy on YouTube teaching it….wait a minute, why is there only ONE video? How should other people know that his way is the only way? Well I better put up a second video using a different method…you know, just so people get to keep their options open.” Okay, I guess that is borderline justified.

But now, what about the 89th person who did a video about the exact same thing? What was going through his mind? “Hey! Here’s a chance for me to be absolutely redundant!! YAY for me!”

Well, either way, I am still somewhat grateful for these weirdos who had too much time on their hands (and I guess a dragon fruit too). But what’s not to say about myself? I also consider myself to be part of the gang now because I actually thought of YouTubing for answers. God knows what I’ll do next.

**When I was typing this post, I wanted to get an exact count of the number of videos from the search “How to cut a dragon fruit”. As I typed “How” the first auto-fill was “how to kiss”. Seriously? This is the first suggestion? Does that mean there are millions and millions of unfortunate people who need YouTube to teach them how to kiss? After seeing that, I feel a little better about my own dragon fruit question……and now I’m going to watch the video on “how to kiss”…well you know, not like I don’t know, but….just in case….
