Why couldn’t you compare them? They’re both fruit.

I don’t know, man. They’re not even in the same ballpark. It’s a day-and-night difference. It would be like comparing cabbages and carrots.

But they’re both vegetables? This makes even less sense.

Very different vegetables though. It’d be like comparing wine and beer.


Vegetables don’t exist

One is a root, the other a flower.




Lil Dicky performed a song in which he sang “bitch, why can’t fruit be compared?”

My wife and I oft quote this to each other.

Do you fuck with the war?

Yo, the brain’s gotta poop!




Each type of fruit has different KPIs


Theybare also both round shape, they grow from trees…


You can compare anything, just list the similarities and differences


it’s like dividing by zero. mathematically impossible.



Not to worry. Comparing apples to mandarines is perfectly legal.

Finally! Someone else who isn’t afraid to be the best kind of correct.



If Shakespeare could compare people to summer days then I can compare one type of fruit to another.


Oranges are superior to apples.

I hope you choke on an orange rind you asshole!



Share your analysis.

left fruit is on the left and right fruit is on the right. ergo, something something butt stuff stundays

Fascinating..!?

no that’s not where we put the fasc






My friend Jules told me that, in France, the idiom is about comparing apples to pears.

And they call a quarter pounder with cheese a royale with cheese.

A royale with cheese? Why the fuck do they call it that?

They got the metric system over there.




I laughed way too hard at this, my wife thinks I’m crazy.



Das ist ja wie Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichen.

Very funny you old joke cookie



Paaaaaaaaaapyyyyyyyyyuruuuuuuuuusssssssss!!!

sob

hahaha Thank you! You reminded me of such masterpiece.



Wow. I really feel like I am comparing apples to oranges back in ancient Egypt!



There was a puzzle at an online puzzle hunt recently that was about this phrase. It was annoyingly ambiguous due to languages that have more than one phrase.


Why orinch shiny

Oranges have a thing wax-like outer layer. Apples have it too but its duller.






Oh shall I compare thee to a summer eve..?


Apples and oranges are often used as two things that cannot be compared, but there is so much that can be compared between the two. They’re both sweet tasting fruits toy can make juice from. They both have tang, at different levels and depending on which strain or what ripeness. The trees they grow on both have leaves, roots, bark…


NO! DON’T DO IT!


Hey apple!

Knife.



oranges are better.

Hard to tell with the amount of pixels used but that could be a persimmon instead, leading to a comparison which has never been made!


Compare:
Both are fruit, both are roughly round, both have stems.

Contrast: The one on the left is redder and less shiny than the on the right. The stem on the right is green and less woody than the one on the left fruit.

Additional research necessary, consider vivisecting the fruits to see how their internals compare and contrast.


I’ll take the easy way out and contrast them instead.
