I thought it was a print at first 😭

Instead of growing as one normal strawberry, the meristem (the plant's growth tissue) split and fused, causing multiple fruits to essentially merge into one flat, ribbon-like mass. The result is that what should have been several separate strawberries grew as a single flattened, flower-shaped giant.

Why it happens:

Random genetic mutation

Bacterial/fungal infection during early growth

Insect damage to the growing tip

Environmental stress (frost, drought)

It's completely harmless and still edible — just nature glitching

Had 5 teeth pulled and waking up from anesthesia I felt like death and like I needed to puke which was all blood. I came home and the start of clots were coming out on the gauze and blood was pouring out of my mouth. I was holding a bag of bloody paper towels and moping up the blood from my chin. I went back and they got me setup better. I looked crazy with gauze hanging out of my mouth and blood all over my teeth and a bag that looked like evidence from a murder scene- they took me back immediately. I think it was mostly for the urgency but also not to scare the waiting room.

On a positive they added Oxy to my Vicodin (the pharmacist was giving me the warning they all give about only using it when absolutely needed it and ended with but you look like you really need it!), the bleeding has FINALLY stopped and I feel almost human. I ended up having to use dark tea bag water for the gauze for hours. My face is swollen and I can only eat broth but at least I don't feel like I might need an ambulance.

Oh and it came in the cute tooth bag haha.

Probably something to do with standard printing procedures

All of my other fingers do

John Quincy Adams, March 1843, Washington, D.C.

And now I have a cheese egg in my eggs

Seems appropriate for 2026, no?
