Have a shower orange.
Put orange in fridge to make it cool. Take orange to shower. Observe orange and realize you can eat it as messy and feral as you want. Go full lycanthrope on the orange. Shower off the juice. Go back to being an animal pretending to blend into a society, but now, you know better.
I suggest using a drain filter, then you can just spit out any seeds and just drop the bitter stringy parts.
Those are bitter?? TIL
Aren't they the same substance used in the white part of the peel below the delicious zest? Though I might be thinking about clementines and the white stringy bits that run from top to bottom along the centre. Been a while since I had a proper orange but don't they have even more of that white stuff?
I think the membrane that surrounds the little juice packets is also bitter, if you separate it from the good parts.
Honestly, I have no idea, I can't even taste bitter, I just eat it all haha
Ah lol. What about the peel? The zest is delicious but the white part is awful. You normally gotta be careful if you're using a shredder or microplane when zesting because if you go too deep it tastes pretty bitter. Though the texture is also not very appealing, though I do wonder how much of that is from the flavour.
Hello poor person. Are you sad because the unprecedented rise of global wealth inequality and corruption has robbed you of any realistic hope for success and stability? Have you tried eating an orange?
I don't wanna be that guy, but I have to be fair and ask:
Why should I know this?
Because you're in denial about your depression
Because if you're sad now, but you want to be happy - you should probably eat an orange. It's a nice thing to know
Yeah I know, but its not in the body of the post per Rule 2. Plenty of really bad YSKs that didnt belong here had the same thing and I called some of them out too. So in order to be fair I have to ask it here too, thats all.
Does it work with (non-artifical) orange juice as well?
If it's artificial it isn't orange juice.
Artificial juice can definitely be orange (from dyes) 🤓
Tang is certainly orange
😋
True, but here (Denmark) it is literally illegal to sell anything but pure fruit juice as juice, if it is made from concentrate it has to be labelled clearly, and it is only allowed to ad the amount of water that was removed.
If it has added sugar it is called Nektar.
If it has artificial flavors it is called Saft. Saft can also have added sugar. Saft also means Juice, English does not AFAIK have the words to distinguish between pure juice and flavored and sweetened juice.
IDK the rules in other EU countries, but my guess is that they are similar, but localized depending on language.
If the bacteria can get what they need from it, i imagine the less processed it is the better.
I always just thought it was the sugar in the OJ making me feel better. 🤷♂️
Does this work with dried oranges?
I drink a tea that has orange in it so it would be awesome if it applies
I mean, this research wouldn't be able to tell what about oranges makes these bacteria thrive, so would need a separate study for dried oranges or similar variations.
Having said that, your tea likely has so little actual orange in it, that it's very likely negligible either way.
There's probably just a tiny bit of orange in each tea bag to begin with, and it might even just be orange peel. And then it's just traces of that which go into your tea water, too.
Of course, drinking tea in general can probably also help with depression in some way. At the very least, it hydrates you and presumably improves blood circulation, which can help get you out of a rut.
I don't need the serotonin and dopamine inside my gut, I need it in my brain. ..Will shoving an orange up my nose work?
I used to take pieces of orange peel, bend them so the inside turns convex and inhale it through my nose, it helped me stay awake in class.
I do a similar thing but i bend the orange peel inside a short glass to spritz the oils, then occasionally lift the glass to my nose and enjoy.
Oh i forgot i also add ~80ml of whiskey, a squirt of simple syrup and 3 dashes of bitters first.
If you're happy and you know it, eat an orange
If you're unhappy and you know it, eat an orange
You know what? Fuck it, eat an orange
I've had chronic pain and depression since I was a kid, I don't think oranges can fix me, but thanks for the advice, I'm sure it'll help someone that's better off.
Oh yeah emotions are just nutritional signals and gut-bacteria signals, I guess we're all just making up reasons to be ABNORMAL AND DIFFICULT.
THANKS HARVARD NERDS
do people hust have oranges lying around. We get them sometimes when they are in season enough to be cheap and nice.
I usually do because they're tasty, they stay good for a long time, and they're available cheaply year round in the US.
I eat at least 2 blood oranges a day, sometimes 5 or even 6. They taste so damn good, and they're relatively cheap ($1.49/lb). I literally always have at least 4 pounds on hand, but I just restocked, so I've got 12 pounds at the moment. Sometimes, in the summer, I buy extra so I can juice them. Then I mix the juice with pomegranate juice, and pour the mix over ice in a kala namak rimmed glass. Vodka optional.
Or just eat an orange. You don't have to be sad.
Do lemons work?
No, those are the fruits of manufactured suffering, not joyous wonders
You sound depressed.
Can I offer you a lemon in these trying times
We are but that’s besides the point, we actually meant it in a literal way lmao
Lemons are manufactured by mixing a Citron and a Bitter Orange. They’re are not naturally occurring in any way, while the orange is a fully natural occurring fruit. Other than that, lemons are metaphorically seen as struggles or suffering while oranges are shown to be liquid sunshine or joy.
That’s all we meant by lemons being manufactured suffering and oranges being joyous wonders. Was just play on words on our part
So I can burn my rage off trying to peel all the damn with off while getting covered in sticky juice?
