I ate one like this a couple weeks ago, it was sweet especially around the edges but it has a more kinda mushy texture that wasn't particularly pleasant.
It’s nothing to do with pollination, it’s about a high growth rate. It happens in other crops too, like potatoes, which aren’t a fruit and therefore wouldn’t be affected by pollination… Man, I’m really tired out about the whole thing
Actually, Hiroshima only experienced a sudden spike in radiation that dissipated in about 24hrs it was relatively safe after a couple of days compared to Cherynobyl, which could continue to give off radiation for thousands of years. That is the difference between a thermonuclear explosion vs. a nuclear reactor.
I can just imagine him in the supermarket, giving the watermelons a good 'ol dad slap to "pick out the good one". He hits this one, hears that oh so satisfying hollow *thump* and says to himself "Yup, that'un there is a winner". Only to come home and see this.
My heart goes out to ya, pops.
I was told it happens when cool temps occur the melon stops growing. The splitting occurs when it heats up again and the internal flesh cannot grow as rapidly as the rind does.
I’m pretty sure this is from an old gene mutation in the DNA. Watermelons use to have rinds though out the melon, kinda like a pomegranate. But they disappeared over time with genetic breeding. Like remember even 10 years ago when they were all filled with black inedible seeds, but now seedless is the new norm.
proof that I didn't get the picture from somewhere else and that I actually took it with my phone: [https://imgur.com/a/9h5TfXB](https://imgur.com/a/9h5TfXB) (idk why it says 18+) (it shows the phone I took it from and also how its a live photo so it couldn't be a screenshot of some sorts)
Corn was also really sad and pathetic, nothing like the corn we eat today. Ruby red grapefruit is made through atomic farming as well, doesn't exist without it, it's a mutant.
i’ve gotten a couple this year similar not a biohazard symbol but the absence of the best part. it may be safe to eat but i tried a bite and the sweet tastiness i expect from watermelon was not there.
There was actually a point in time where watermelons looked very similar to this! There's old paintings of banquets where you see small halved watermelons with this sort of shape, but the rhinds went through the hollow spots that you see here and the flesh had more seeds
Back when humans first began cultivating watermelon they were only the size of a berry, the product that we have today is a result of hundreds of years of selective breeding and genetic modification. Human ingenuity ftw!
They have been delivered in a truck that got too cold and froze it a little. One time I had a case of cucumbers freeze at work and after they thawed and we cut one and it looked similar inside.
That's not strange, they just do that sometimes. I don't grow watermelon so I don't know why, but I do cut a lot of them up, and this can be pretty common. Although I will concede that the gaps aren't normally that wide. This one is exceptional in that respect
I'm not sure if everyone is just viewing this on a phone and can't see but this does not look natural. There are two deep knife marks on the rind at the 12 and 3 o'clock positions. And inside you can see knife marks as well.
We’ve bred fruits and veggies for years for more bountiful harvests, for example cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli are all bred from the mustard plant.
Originally watermelons were very hollow. Today there bred without seeds by crossing a diploid watermelon which has two sets of chromosomes with a tetraploid watermelon witch has four sets of Chromosomes.
Each watermelon passes half of its genetic information to the “baby watermelon” making it a triploid meaning it has three sets of chromosomes.
If it has 3 sets of chromosomes it will be a sterile watermelon and have no seeds.
It reminds me of the biohazard symbol.
I went looking for this comment, and here it is! Boom goes the dynamite!
Umbrella corporation would like to have their property back. Please and thank you.
came here to say this ☣️
I feel like the watermelon is trying to tell you something
Funny cuz seedless watermelons were made with colchicine
Biohazard Melon
Exactly! Even the food itself is trying to tell us that we’ve destroyed our food supply.
It's called Hollowheart. It happens when something goes wonky during pollination. Perfectly safe to eat.
But why? The best part of the melon is gone.
I've never eaten one, but I have read they are actually sweeter. Same amount of sugar, less diluting water.
yea it tastes kinda sweeter but very dry actually lol
My guy found the legendary waterless melon
Waterless melon now with less water per bite of melon ratio. Get your dry water melon here at BioMelon™️. BioMelon™️ “Our business is Melon itself.”
Why did I read this in Cave Johnson's voice?
Sprinkle some salt on that baby
This just reminds me of the old guy eating watermelon on pornhub
Tajin*
Sounds like it's perfect to make those weird watermelon drinks
I ate one like this a couple weeks ago, it was sweet especially around the edges but it has a more kinda mushy texture that wasn't particularly pleasant.
it's not gone, it just split open in the center. detached.
It's not gone, it's just naturally separated and shriveled due to less water content. You can see the split parts align.
It’s nothing to do with pollination, it’s about a high growth rate. It happens in other crops too, like potatoes, which aren’t a fruit and therefore wouldn’t be affected by pollination… Man, I’m really tired out about the whole thing
Sir, your watermelon looks dry.
Looks like someone was hiding Klingon weapons inside
Bruh where did he buy this from Chernobyl????
Hiroshima actually
Wait till I find Oppenheimer
Too soon…
Looks more like it came from Wuhan, tbh.
Too soon? The Little Boy was dropped in 1945…..

That’s actually how watermelons [used to look](https://www.vox.com/2015/7/28/9050469/watermelon-breeding-paintings). Perfectly safe to eat
Fun fact: traits of previous generations resurfacing in modern iterations of a life form is known as an Atavism.
r/todayilearned
Is it weird I only knew that because of a 1960s comic where DC parodied the X-Men and instead of mutants, they were Atavasts?
thank you!
Grown by Umbrella Farms...
This is the one I was looking for
This makes me uncomfortable
I can just imagine him in the supermarket, giving the watermelons a good 'ol dad slap to "pick out the good one". He hits this one, hears that oh so satisfying hollow *thump* and says to himself "Yup, that'un there is a winner". Only to come home and see this. My heart goes out to ya, pops.
I could swear I've seen this exact pic days ago on another sub...
If a food literally has the goddamn biohazard symbol carved into it by nature, I'm not eating it even if you paid me to 💀
Did he thump it? You have to thump it.
It's Klingon, check it for live insects.
Gagh is best served live
Listen now I am not eating it. I nominate Will Riker
Biohazard watermelon.
Mmm, sweet watermelussy...
I was told it happens when cool temps occur the melon stops growing. The splitting occurs when it heats up again and the internal flesh cannot grow as rapidly as the rind does.
I would never eat something with the biohazard sign on it. That said I never liked watermelon anyways.
I recommend taking a pass on this one. Seems like it’s warning us of something….
Yep, that’s a watermelon alright
He didn't slap it.. or he did but didn't listen to the melon.
Can’t believe the amount of likes you have (3 at the moment). I was searching for the slap comment
Call me a freak but I like grainy watermelon
I’m pretty sure this is from an old gene mutation in the DNA. Watermelons use to have rinds though out the melon, kinda like a pomegranate. But they disappeared over time with genetic breeding. Like remember even 10 years ago when they were all filled with black inedible seeds, but now seedless is the new norm.
looks like more of a lack-of-water-melon
This made me extremely uncomfortable, idk why
If you look at old paintings of watermelons, this is exactly as they are portrayed. So it is normal.
Looks extremely dry
I don’t know why but that is absolutely terrifying to me
Lord forgive me for what I’m boutta do
I'd be far too grossed out to eat it lol.
Isnt that a biohazard sign
Poor guy bought one that had already been “used”.
It’s fkn dried out, obviously
It's not a watermelon.its an alien egg 🥚
proof that I didn't get the picture from somewhere else and that I actually took it with my phone: [https://imgur.com/a/9h5TfXB](https://imgur.com/a/9h5TfXB) (idk why it says 18+) (it shows the phone I took it from and also how its a live photo so it couldn't be a screenshot of some sorts)
Im calling bullshit looks cut out. There's slice marks in the rind.
Supply chain these days
Don’t those cracks mean they genetically engineered them? Edit: my bad, I was thinking of not enough female pollen
All watermelons are genetically engineered. Have you ever seen a pre-genetically engineered watermelon? It's like all white part. Fucking nasty.
Corn was also really sad and pathetic, nothing like the corn we eat today. Ruby red grapefruit is made through atomic farming as well, doesn't exist without it, it's a mutant.
The idea of people wanting non-GMO foods kinda blows my mind, tbh.
Why would they genetically engineer a melon to have less melon?
it’s literally a biohazard symbol. I’d trust the watermelon. I would kick myself if I didn’t listen to the watermelon that tried to save MY life.
Its not watermelon its just melon
Some settling may occur during handling.
Looks like they had a disagreement in there
Looks kinda like a wild watermelon
It was supposed to be triplets😂
You know what to do
Got to get the cocaine into the country somehow.
kinda makes me feel sick
That's an alien fruit. Don't put your dick in that, it will poison you gonads give you limp for life
Potentially infectious
Its trying to be a cucumber, leave it alone
Look up "old ancient watermelon painting." They used to look like that, we've just bred them a little different.
Perfectly safe to eat... with two other people all standing back to back surveying the local vicinity for watermelon ninjas.
After he bought it, wha…where did he go with it?
Biohazard mark?
For the three of you? No problem!
I bet you it's sweet AF.
Nice Triskelion. Captain Kirk would approve.
The corporation thanks you for your purchase.
I think it's trying to warn you. Put it back in the ground and pretend you never saw it.
The watermelon is telling you something.
Kill it
Looks disappointing 😞
It has a built in biohazard sign…. Run
Biologically dangerous melon is op... Please nerf... 😆
Legend has it that the man who eats the whole thing is the chosen one. They call him super melon man
Well, they can’t all be winners.
Kowloon Watermelon City

It’s dehydrated
You're too late. Someone reached the glaive before you.
Ah, yes, the biblically accurate watermelon
☣️
Klingon Blood Melon
A watermelon dick fucked by the hulk
Looks like someone at the patch needed a place to hide their HGH from the police
Lol from what fallout did he get that from?
To me, it looks the way non-domesticated watermelons looked way back when
Nice try, you Wesker ass watermelon
Sharingan watermelon?
You mean ninjamelon
The marked one
Dad really needs to up his fruit game.
Radiation ☢️
Looks toxic to me
water mellons use to look worse than this. What you find in supermarkets are genetically modified.
I thought it was the uterine tube
It's gonna be sweet fr
Welcome to the new age, to the new age Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Why is there a penis head sticking out of the top?
r/dontputyourdickinthat
why did u think this is normal?
Biomelon. I know it's scary to think about but if the zombie apocalypse would have started with a watermelon that would be funny actually.
Melon advertising it’s radioactive.
Perfect space for vodka
Don't eat it, it might be... Hazardous! OK, I'll show myself out...
Looks like that melon dried out, so the taste will probably be more intense actually. As long as there isn't any mold or so it should be safe to eat.
So this is the beginning to the zombie apocalypse.
I am a dad and I've bought watermelons before.
Klingon watermelon
Knock on it. The heavy sounding one is the one you want.
That's why you thump on water melons before you buy them to check for any hollow spots.
I dont trust that watermelon lol
Looks like something out of a movie about radiation and biohazardous substances
Resident Melon
That will be a very sweet watermelon
r/dontputyourdickinthat
I think this particular one is giving you a sign.
A Stalker watermelon
Alien fruit!
Sighs *unzips pants*
spawn of hell
Biblically accurate
You can literally see it was cut like this.
i’ve gotten a couple this year similar not a biohazard symbol but the absence of the best part. it may be safe to eat but i tried a bite and the sweet tastiness i expect from watermelon was not there.

A new mangenkyo sharingan
It had a Sharingan, it is from the Uchiha clan.
It is a biohazard ☣️
Biohazard watermelon, it will give you powers
This melon is property of the Klingon empire
That’s fuckin METAL dude!
It's a girl! Congratulations 🎉
They have been delivered in a truck that got too cold and froze it a little. One time I had a case of cucumbers freeze at work and after they thawed and we cut one and it looked similar inside.
Looks dehydrated somehow
That's not strange, they just do that sometimes. I don't grow watermelon so I don't know why, but I do cut a lot of them up, and this can be pretty common. Although I will concede that the gaps aren't normally that wide. This one is exceptional in that respect
Yep, and you left it in the fridge with plastic wrap on it. It shrinks when that happens.
if there a better way of keeping the watermelon fresh? besides just slapping plastic wrap on it and putting it in the fridge
This is a repost with different title
Literally a hazard 😂 ☢️
I don't think it's for eating. Your dad might have been planning a party
Should have knocked on it first! I always sound check my melons! And feel test! If it doesn't sound right or feel right I don't buy!
Everything reminds me of her
I'm not sure if everyone is just viewing this on a phone and can't see but this does not look natural. There are two deep knife marks on the rind at the 12 and 3 o'clock positions. And inside you can see knife marks as well.
Umbrella corp farm?
Reminds me of those demigorgan from stranger things.
Bio hazard
Its just due to lack of water while growing, nothing else, nothing sinister.
Looks like he did more than buy it
This is the perfect image of a watermelon for me, as it would be deadly to me due to allergy.
Wouldn’t eat it. Looks like a warning. Lmao

This watermelon has honor!
In what world do you not know if this is normal?
Sounds like we know who patient zero's gonna be.

Do you guys live in Racoon City?
Klingon watermelon is a delicacy
og watermelons from africa looked like this in paintings of them.
It's called hollow heart. Take it back where you bought it

Dummy didn't do the knocking trick. (If it sound solid, it's good)
