minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoI feel like earthmellon would just be a coconut. I’m excited for windmelon and firemellon, though.

minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThat’s true, I guess because of the peel. By that logic watermelons would have to be blue, though.

minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 year agoI was thinking that it’s about composition (watermelon is mostly water), so probably more capsaicin. Hot like a pepper but big and round. And maybe some orangish bioluminescence too, since it’s a made-up fruit and I’m allowed some creative licence. Windmelon would then be very light and spongy.

minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI see no fundamental reason why not. The barriers are mostly cultural and in understanding details of biology when it comes to GMOs.
