Avocados

Alright, listen up you avocado-obsessed lunatics, because I'm about to unleash a fucking tirade on a topic that's been driving me up the goddamn wall for far too long: the absolute audacity of these smug-ass avocados!

These green bastards have infiltrated every aspect of our lives, and I've reached my breaking point. Let's start with their ridiculous temperament, shall we? Who gave these botanical divas permission to be so damn finicky? One moment they're hard as a baseball, impenetrable to even the sharpest knife, and the next – POOF! – they've transformed into a brown, slimy mess that resembles something you'd find in a fucking swamp. There's a microscopic window of perfection, lasting approximately 37 seconds, when they're actually edible. Miss it, and you're shit out of luck, pal! You might as well be trying to defuse a bomb, frantically poking at a fruit and praying to the avocado gods that you've timed it right.

And don't even get me started on the price! These days, you need to sell a kidney just to make guacamole for a party of four. They're the real estate market of the produce section – overpriced, overhyped, and completely out of reach for the average millennial. Remember when avocados were just a humble fruit? Now they're a status symbol, a lifestyle choice, and apparently, the solution to all of life's problems. Give me a fucking break! We've got people out here choosing between paying rent and buying avocados. It's madness!

Let's talk about the pits, shall we? They're colossal! Nature's cruel practical joke – here's a delicious fruit, but surprise, motherfucker! Half of it is just a giant, inedible seed. Oh, and watch out when you're trying to remove it, because one wrong move and suddenly you're in the ER with "avocado hand." That's right, there's a medical term for avocado-related injuries now. What's next? Avocado elbow? Guacamole knee? Jesus Christ. We're turning our kitchens into war zones over a fucking fruit. And don't get me started on those YouTube videos showing you how to grow an avocado tree from the pit. Yeah, great idea, genius. Let's wait seven years for a single avocado that'll probably taste disappointment and regret.

And the environmental impact? These water-guzzling prima donnas are causing droughts and deforestation faster than you can say "avocado toast." They're sucking entire regions dry! It takes about 320 liters of water to grow a single avocado. That's more water than some people have access to in a week! We're destroying ecosystems for our precious green gold. Speaking of which, who decided that smashing this fruit on bread was suddenly the height of culinary sophistication? The Emperor's New Clothes of breakfast foods! We're all pretending it's revolutionary when in reality, it's just mushy fruit on carbs. Whoop-de-fucking-doo. "Look at me, I'm so fancy with my $15 avocado toast!" Congratulations, you've just paid a small fortune for something you could've made at home for a fraction of the cost.

But wait, there's more! The avocado industry has become so huge that it's actually funding organized crime in some parts of the world. That's right, your healthy breakfast might be supporting cartels. Feeling good about that green smoothie now, you hipster dipshits? We've got avocado mafias, for fuck's sake! People are getting killed over these things. This shit belongs in a bad movie plot, except it's real life.

And let's not forget about the constant avocado-related peer pressure. Can't go a day without seeing some asshole on social media posting their "avo-cardio" workout or their avocado face mask. It's everywhere! Avocado oil, avocado ice cream, avocado shampoo – is there anything these green bastards haven't invaded? I'm half expecting to see avocado-flavored toothpaste or avocado-scented car fresheners next. We're in a cult, but instead of drinking the Kool-Aid, we're all chugging avocado smoothies.

The worst part? Despite all of this, we're all hopelessly addicted. We can't stop buying them, eating them, and Instagramming them. They've got us wrapped around their creamy little fingers, and they know it. We're a society of green-obsessed zombies, shuffling to the grocery store muttering "must... have... avocado." It's a full-blown epidemic, and there's no vaccine in sight. We're willingly bankrupting ourselves, risking injury, and potentially supporting criminal organizations, all for a fruit that's more high-maintenance than a spoiled heiress.

So there you have it, folks. Avocados: the fruit we love to hate and hate to love. They're expensive, high-maintenance, environmentally questionable, and potentially dangerous, yet we can't get enough. This global Stockholm syndrome has us all as victims. What a crock of shit. We've lost our minds over a bumpy-skinned, oversized berry. And the kicker? I bet half of you reading this are going to go check your avocados right now, aren't you? Yeah, that's what I thought. We're all fucked.
