:"Another"? would you mind linking to previous jab(s) so that we may link to it/get a category created for these jabs, and link to that category? - [[User:Vaedez|Vaedez]] ([[User talk:Vaedez|talk]]) 10:27, 26 August 2023 (UTC) | :"Another"? would you mind linking to previous jab(s) so that we may link to it/get a category created for these jabs, and link to that category? - [[User:Vaedez|Vaedez]] ([[User talk:Vaedez|talk]]) 10:27, 26 August 2023 (UTC) | ||
::One prior [[388: Fuck Grapefruit|comic 'jab']], for which the explanations refers to his book-jab at them. There ''may'' be more, that was just from memory, but not sure Cat-worthy just yet. But a direct reference link can wait until someone has searched for more/better, maybe.

− | + | ::i dont feel like comic 388 itself contains any jab at the Red Delicious breed of apple, though the explanation page certainly does reference Randall's distaste for Red Deliciouses - [[User:Vaedez|Vaedez]] ([[User talk:Vaedez|talk]]) 09:31, 27 August 2023 (UTC) | |

In the UK I have not come across a Red Delicious, just Golden ones, which are sort of golden, but sounding similarly bland.

:::I grew up and live in New England in the USA and red delicious apples are a common apple I see as low quality. They are often given as part of larger system meals, such as school lunches or soup kitchens. They are very soft and go bad very quickly compared to crisper apples, and often are already browned a little inside when bitten into. I think of them as the polar opposite of the naturally green apples, often sold waxed, which are very tart but I've rarely ever seen them go bad at all. Then other apples like the macintosh are somewhere between the extremes of sweet and soft vs sour and hard. EDIT: Honestly it's pretty obvious most red delicious apples were picked green and ripened with ethylene gas in trucks, which significantly reduces their sweetness. Perhaps their popularity, stimulating their modern mass production and distribution, was their downfall.

:If this is a running gag, should there be some kind of category for it, like Category:My Hobby does?

::Actually, Randall stole (inadvertently, I'm sure) this from a running gag in a famous French BD named Rubrique-à-Brac [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubrique-%C3%A0-Brac]. Isaac Newton is a recurring character who regularly gets hit in the head with different objects.

This feels a bit like a pun that he expected a "tasty" apple but found a "delicious" instead--or maybe just an assertion that the name of Red Delicious apples is a lie. - [[User:Vaedez|Vaedez]] ([[User talk:Vaedez|talk]]) 10:19, 26 August 2023 (UTC) | This feels a bit like a pun that he expected a "tasty" apple but found a "delicious" instead--or maybe just an assertion that the name of Red Delicious apples is a lie. - [[User:Vaedez|Vaedez]] ([[User talk:Vaedez|talk]]) 10:19, 26 August 2023 (UTC) | ||

It is important to note that, prior to Galileo’s telescopic observations, common belief in Europe was that the Moon and planets stayed up due to being made of a substance that was immune to falling down (i.e. did not experience the effects of gravity). Newton proved mathematically that all that was needed to keep them in orbit was gravity and the appropriate velocity.--[[User:Ijuinkun|Ijuinkun]] ([[User talk:Ijuinkun|talk]]) 15:44, 27 August 2023 (UTC) | It is important to note that, prior to Galileo’s telescopic observations, common belief in Europe was that the Moon and planets stayed up due to being made of a substance that was immune to falling down (i.e. did not experience the effects of gravity).
