Awesome!
You can look at the markdown of other people's comments to see how they did whatever they did

hm, I think I’ve been doing it wrong then …
I used to open it from the stem side, but then I saw video of a monkey open from the bottom… I tried it and it was easier to open especially the less ripe ones.
Yes, butt:
I also saw a video of a monkey peeling it from the stem side and then proceeding to clean it of all those stringy bits before finally eating it.
*Here it is:* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIc5kTth1lE
lol I cut that tip off
Yes, i too recently discovered opening from the bottom. It actually opens easier, the stem becomes a little handle andsome people look at me like I'm an alien which is added fun
Also when you drop the peel on the ground for someone to comically slip on, it looks like it does in the cartoons.
The bottom. Which I guess is the bit without the sticky out but that it’s snapped of a bunch with. You just squeeze the bottom black bit and it opens up.
Most people I see pull the top but that’s more unreliable. I believe monkeys will use my technique, or rather I’m using theirs.
Interestingly, that’s where they flower. Banana growers knock the flowers off so they can’t pollinate leaving it with the black bit on the end that’s easy to open.
Huh. I'm going to start doing this. I usually open them from the stem.
EDIT: lol fixed my crazy autocorrect mistake 🤣
I Isuzu from the stem but suzuki from the bottom now, where the seed is
Whoops. Edited my comment hahaha
I do what you do. If it's good enough for monke, it's good enough for me.
I brake it in half with my hands
This is the way
The outside?
Unscrew the tip of the faucet and hide it inside the faucet. Even a metal detector wouldn't find it.

I've no idea what happened but yes, I totally somehow commented in the wrong thread? 😂

I eat it from the end opposite the stem: Just pop the nub off like a button and split from there. I have found it to be, by far, the easiest way to open a banana.
Yup. Literally just pinch the bottom nub and it's open.
That's the way monkeys eat them. It's the easiest way
I like to hold the banana upright facing away from me, and then I sneak up behind it and use a really sharp knife to sever the jugular part way through before I rip its head backward, peeling the skin all the way down its spine.
It's immensely satisfying, especially the crisp clear sound the knife makes as it cuts off the life force
While I don't use your visualisation technique, this is the best method.
Sick. What's the button combo for this one?
The outside.
wait, you're supposed to peel them?
Otherwise known as the coward's way
the correct one
it opens by itself in the microwave oven
What
The outward facing part from how it grows, not where the stem is. Used to think that was the bottom, but it's the top. Just pinch it and it opens easier every time.
I take my fingernail and run it along the inner spine splitting the banana skin open so I can extract the banana. I then carefully repose the banana skin in the fruit bowl so that it appears it is an unopened banana.
This is the only correct way to eat a banana.
This thread is starting to remind me of this
Mostly snapping it in half. Sometimes the monkey end(not the stem).
This is the way. You can avoid the funky Satan's anus portion like normal and you get to open it incredibly quickly. Bonus you get two halves that are easy to use for peanut butter + banana 'hotdogs'.
This is the way
I eat it with the crust.
All of them.
At once?
Yeah. Like the Lilly interview scene in Late Night with the Devil.
So, for me it depends.
Do I have a knife handy? The stem. If not you can mush less from the bottom by pinching the end and pulling
The stem side. I enjoy them as long as they are slightly green, so usually the skin breaks easily when bent. Otherwise I will use a sharp knife and make an horizontal incision at the start of the stem to facilitate the peeling.
I am aware of the way monkeys open them, tried and didn't like it because of the dark mushy part at the end of the fruit, opening from the stem allows to easily leave it behind.
I use the same method for the same reason but prefer no green, instead with small brown spots (no big ones) for ideal ripeness.
Depends on how ripe they are. Before they go spotty the stem end is usually thicker than the blossom end, so I open from the bottom. Once it's ripe then the stem is usually much easier.
Yeah I usually prefer a banana a little on the green side, so its bottom for me.
What do you mean... Open??? Don't you guys just chomp on them
Yeah, but which side do you chomp first?
The middle
Centre. With a knife. Because I rarely eat more than half a banana at a time.
Same but I don't use a knife, you can just snap bananas in half with your bare hands!
The responses to this post have me more than a little rattled

Why open the banana? Just eat it from the bottom
The outside.
Neither side. You break it in half. Am I the only person that does this?
Zatoichi approves.
Middle out
Wow, people still quote Silicon Valley?
This is the wrong answer lol
I eat the whole banana, skin and all. Who has time for peeling?
Ain't nobody got time for that!
i eat it like anyone does. from the middle.
seriously from the top (where the stem is)
So uncivilized
Why would one open a banana? 😁
What is the sound of one banana clapping?
The left side.
The back, that way the peel stays in one large easy-to-dispose-of piece instead of a fragile octopus
have you seen that trick where you slice a banana without peeling it?
With a needle and thread? I tried that once when I was a kid, but I couldn't get it to work.
yep
From the stop light side.
The front
Anal cavity
The other side duh... Applies whichever side you use
The right side.
The right? With the stem facing you or away from you. Either way it's a bit weird to open a banana from the side.
Right, as in correct
Yes.
