Talk:2840: Earth Layers

Why are the seeds outside of the pith? Is there a fruit that is organized this way? SDSpivey (talk) 18:01, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

If there's one that's this way that contains pith, i can't find it, but raspberries, cashew apples, and blackberries all have their seeds on the outside SomeoneIGuess (talk) 20:09, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

The pith is the innermost part of a tree trunk. The part of a fruit is the pit, which is basically the same thing as a seed.--172.64.236.13 20:19, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Ummm...the white, fibrous stuff within fruits that wraps around the seeds (like in oranges, for example) is called "pith", whether trees contain something by that name or not.Yorkshire Pudding (talk) 21:43, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Strawberries are an (albeit rare) example of a fruit with the seeds on the outside of the pith (and skin, for that matter) 162.158.159.116 15:52, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Actually, the white specks on strawberries that we commonly call seeds are achenes, which are actually individual, smaller fruits. It's the seeds within these achenes that are the actual strawberry seeds. SomeoneIGuess (talk) 20:43, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Something that seemed to be excessive to edit into the Explanation, but noting here in passing, the additional issue of magnets (in a Kinder context) is the problems of ingesting them. In addition to other issues, they can attract each other/separate bits of metal across folds of the digestive system and cause problems beyond merely their passage through the system (which they might not now be able to do). I don't even know if Kinder has ever included magnets, but I think they'd be extremely limited even outwith the US. (Though, as counter-example, there are Cow Magnets, designed for ingestion but not further digestion. And not for humans, nor the size of either a standard Kinder-yoke or a planetary one.) 172.71.242.69 08:50, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

When I saw guacamole in the comic, I assumed it was a reference to Apache Guacamole, as might be seen in a diagram of the different layers involved accessing some complicated computer system. Sandor (talk) 17:49, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Some parts of the explanation, particularly the last paragraph, seem to assume that the diagram is supposed to be to scale. I don't think it is, since all the layers except the kinder toy capsule at the center are about the same size. Barmar (talk) 16:32, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
