Strawberry seeds are designed by a malevolent god to stick perfectly in human front teeth.

    Achenes are not nuts.

    (1) Achene. A small hard indehiscent fruit. The term is strictly only applied to those formed from one carpel, but is sometimes used for those formed from two carpels (e.g. the fruit of the Compositae). The latter is better termed a cypsela.

    (2) Nut. This is similar to an achene, but is typically formed from two or three carpels (e.g. dock fruit).

    https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/achene

    i. Achene - A one-seeded, dry, indehiscent fruit; the one seed is attached to the fruit wall at a single point.

    ii. Nut - A dry, indehiscent, one seeded fruit similar to an achene but with the wall greatly thickened and hardened.

    It is strictly only applied to ones with one carpel, but is used anyway to refer to ones with two carpels? That's not confusing at all

    Why is microsoft from Germany writing in English? Why don't they just post it on their main Account which actually has a primarely English-speaking audience?

    I want to fill a spoon with strawberry seeds and see how it tastes

    So what this nerd is saying is that we can milk a strawberry??

    Before the tech gets there, let's commission some "art" on that subject?

    (For real, the seeds being nuts is a stretch)

    Strawberries do not have nipples. :(

    Ofc not, don't be silly.

    Nuts have nipples (where do you think almond milk comes from? Kids today have prob never seen an almond on a farm & think almond milk grows in the stores!).

    And if the seeds on the strawberries really are "nuts", then we should be able to milk them.
    I see no flaw in my logic.

    The real problem these days is with intensive almond farming. Almond tastes better from free range almonds, with space to graze in peace and calm between the bushes.

    Have you heard of "bitter almonds"? Turns up in mystery novels. It's what you get from caged almonds raised on steroids.

    Well, unfortunately I'm no artist & I'm against AI (the system, not the tech as such), so no pics.

    But yeah, definitely, can you imagine the number of nips on a single strawberry? And the satisfaction of each nut? The dripping milk?

    strawberries are accessory fruits, not nuts.

    Like cashews!

    I thought nuts had to come from trees, though.

    Like, peanuts aren't actually nuts.

    Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your post, but cashews are drupes, not nuts. I don't know whether all true nuts come from trees, but all the ones I can think of do.

    If strawberries are nuts, cashews are nuts. It's a seed that grows on the outside of an accessory fruit.

    Obviously strawberries aren't nuts either but we're playing pretty fast and loose with words and meanings.

    The "nut" from a cashew is the seed a stone fruit (like the center of a peach pit). The strawberry "seed" is the entire fruit.

    I don't see why the apple from a cashew can't also be classified as an aggregate accessory fruit, like the red flesh of the strawberry, which would make the cashew pit an achene like the seeds of a strawberry.

    I've heard every combination of "[food] is actually [plant part]" so any time anyone says this type of sentence, I just roll my eyes.

    Cabbages are actually tree trunks

    Raspberries are actually tubers

    Wheat is actually a berry

    And oranges are actually an eldritch, ante-dimensional horror perpetrated by intelligent, unseen beings

    Also acorns are the progenitors of oranges.

    Is this why strawberries are common allergens? Like so much more common than other fruits?

    Smelling roses has always reminded me of strawberries, although people think that's strange. Taste and smell are connected and this explains it.
