    A couple problems here:

    1. The image resolution isn’t high enough for a banana to be visible at this scale.
    2. This isn’t the Milky Way (it’s impossible to take a picture from outside our own galaxy), so bananas do not exist there. This means the banana would have to be photoshopped in, in which case you might as well photoshop a map scale.

    Nice picture, but I call BS 🤔

    Edit: Omg, I forgot to mention the most obvious giveaway. Our supermassive black hole doesn’t have a quasar! Busted!

        The theory that the universe was seeded with banana life by an intergalactic precursor race of bananas? It’s possible, but so far there is no hard evidence, and I don’t think OP is claiming to have taken a picture of an alien banana.

          The theory that the universe was seeded with banana life by an intergalactic precursor race of bananas?

          This was covered in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called The Chase:

            They do. Just not the versions we eat. Those are genetic clones and are propagated seedlessly. If you look closely sometimes you can see undeveloped seeds in bananas. They’re the little black dots near the center that you see sometimes.

            Here is a picture of a land race banana with seeds:

      If the universe is infinite, there most certainly are bananas on an infinite number of planets.

    You really should eat that banana before it goes bad. I see spots on it and one area looks soft and bruised.

      And people keep clutching their pearls about skibidi and 6-7. We were way overdue for a new wave of slang.
