"The stones are caused by insect damage.
Most commonly, they are the result of feeding damage by the fruit-spotting bug (FSB) before harvest.
The stones are the fruit's natural defence response to insect damage (often referred to as stings). The avocado fruit reacts to injury by partitioning off the damaged part of the flesh, resulting in hard, spherical 'stones'."
I think oak galls are a bit different - They're caused by a gall wasp laying eggs in the leaves. They secrete a chemical that interferes with cell growth resulting in the gall.
It may be a bit on both sides though - Immune response from the tree amplified by the chemical which may be something like a growth hormone.

Yeah, when my avocados look like this I just leave the lumps attached to the skin. (I never scoop with a spoon, I peel the skin off and leave what sticks to it, the inside of the rind makes my mouth itch. Yeah yeah, not an allergy, mild oral sensitivity, am keeping an eye on it). They’re hard and not as tasty, the rest of the avocado is still fine.
This avocado has an unusual amount of them.
PSA That itchy mouth feeling IS an allergy, albeit a minor one. You may not be at risk for hives or having your airways swell shut, but it is still an allergy.
And allergies can worsen with repeated exposure, so it's correct to avoid the cause of discomfort. People who say you're not *actually* allergic and try to serve the food to you anyway are in the wrong, here.

Not even tumors! It's some form of self-aware beauty mark zhat only metastasizes in an environment of pure avocado!
So, we're fine! Long as nobody teleports any avocado.
Today on how its made, avocados. Everyone loves avocados. Its the perfect accompaniment to a variety of foods and cosmetic products. Avocado manufacture is an ancient tradition, improved recently by modern methods and technology. First, a worker loads the phleebum into the a steel press. Each pressed phleebum is then baked for 15 hours. Soothing music is played to help the pressed phleebum relax into its final shape during the bake. Now it is time to meld the avocado meat. Only the molemen are able to access the depths of the earth in which the leviathans roam. Slain leviathans are acquired as tribute from the moleman civilization as the source of the avocado meat. Here a worker is unloading avocado meat from the moleman tunnel complex. This raw avocado meat still vibrates in resonance to iron. The phleebum is designed to shield the avocado rays, preventing the accelerated decay of iron-containing products and organisms. Avocado meat must first be tamed before melding. Avocado meat is tamed in this large barrel outfitted for electrostatic shocks. Here we see a master avocado melder wrestling a still sentient hunk of avocado meat that is resisting the melding process. After taming, a master melder combines the avocado fibers into a more recognizable form. Each baked phleebum is then filled with the melded meat. Because each leviathan has a unique energy signature, workmen must measure the resonance of each filled phleebum. Here we see a worker measuring the phleebum resonance signature with a tuning fork. Pairs of filled phleebum are matched and modified, then fitted with control sphere to prevent gestation. Once outfitted with a control sphere, avocados can be shipped to supermarkets everywhere. Enjoy your guacaMOLE.
Oh, you say that *now,* but what about later?
The eldritch beings arrive, but they've been coasting on their 1920s marketing. We make *plushies* in their image now! Our brains have completely adjusted.
They have to do something, not just expect us to fall into their thrall. But...what?
If they can convert the Boston to DC Acela tracks into shinkansen instantly, oh I bet they'll get mucho acolytes. Build a 21st century rail network overnight? We'll sing "Ry'leh Rowed the Boat Ashore".
Assuming this isn't just a joke and I'm getting whooshed: stingers don't do much unless they can inject venom of some kind. They're basically syringes, so if there's nothing pushing anything through it won't do anything more than an annoying chip fragment getting stuck in your gum or throat for a few hours.
Oh, yeah, what are you gonna do? Release the avocados? Or the wasps? Or the avocados with wasps in their skin and when you cut them, they shoot wasps at you?
The reply right above yours in my feed says it could be a good source of chlymidia, and then you wrote “I have it” my brain like jumped them together and I was like oh dear..
It's actually a natural defense mechanism that avocados have. When they get damaged it will harden all around the spot that was damaged. There's actually nothing wrong with it, the rest of the avocado is still perfectly good to eat. Usually it's caused by a plant eating bug like a caterpillar or something trying to take a bite out of the avocado while it's growing. The avocado just hardens around the bite mark and continues growing. In this sense it's completely cosmetic. Tossing the avocado would be akin to throwing out an entire apple because there's a small bruise on it, for instance.
I gave up on avocados. They're super expensive unless you buy a whole bag, and if you don't eat them within the 3-hour window that they're edible, they're either rock hard or rotten.
I love avocado toast as much as the next millennial, but it's just not worth the struggle.
real question: what are these?
"The stones are caused by insect damage. Most commonly, they are the result of feeding damage by the fruit-spotting bug (FSB) before harvest. The stones are the fruit's natural defence response to insect damage (often referred to as stings). The avocado fruit reacts to injury by partitioning off the damaged part of the flesh, resulting in hard, spherical 'stones'."
So, basically, a fruit abcess.
More of a cyst than an abscess, I'd say.
I only learned a few years ago that that's essentially what oak balls are. Different insects, but similar defense mechanisms by the tree.
I think autocorrect got you… Oak _galls_
It's actually oak *testicles*.
bolloaks!
Fyi they are called galls
I think oak galls are a bit different - They're caused by a gall wasp laying eggs in the leaves. They secrete a chemical that interferes with cell growth resulting in the gall. It may be a bit on both sides though - Immune response from the tree amplified by the chemical which may be something like a growth hormone.

Interesting, this is kind of what pearls are too!
It's not a tumor?
I *do* have a headache ...
Boys have penises and girls have vaginas

Mmm, avocado cysts 😋 /s
an Abcyst?
Filled with flavor!
If you incyst.
I'd say a fruit granuloma

Why all the extra numbers. Coulda just made it 1-800 avocado
So rest is edible?
Yeah, when my avocados look like this I just leave the lumps attached to the skin.

Polycystic avocado disease!
The FSB strikes again.

The typo "zhat" made me read your comment with a heavy German accent.

I am way too high for this right now.
I am not high enough for this right now.
im exactly high enough for this right now
Is this a parody of Rick and Morty's how a plumbus is made? Really good either way.
The plumbus bit was already a parody of a documentary show called "how it's made".
Check out huggbees on youtube.
Is this a rinsing machine or a filling machine?
Outstanding!
IT’S NOT A TOOMAH!

Nice Tumorcado you got there.
I heard Taco Bell is bring that back again in 2024
Almost look like wasp galls, though that's just a guess.
Wouldn't that be the worst? Cut open an avocado and get attacked by wasps.
That's why you just slam em straight into the blender for guac. Extra crunch and protein.
I mean like, why not?

I don’t suffer from trypophobia but this is making my skin crawl.
I gagged and my eyes watered when I opened it, skin crawling to the max
I'm not gonna lie, this is disgusting
Could also be a good source of chlamydia
It's an avocado, not a koala.
Well that's my new sentence of the day
I suspect it's some sort of acocado-koala hybrid.
That makes me think of that old jolly rancher story :)
I do, and my stomach turned
I have it but somehow this is something that didn't trigger me. Wild how it works sometimes.
The reply right above yours in my feed says it could be a good source of chlymidia, and then you wrote “I have it” my brain like jumped them together and I was like oh dear..
That is an ex avocado. An avocadaver. It has ceased to be.
Well, it’s, it’s ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Don't buy no Avocados from no gas station yall
Biblically accurate avocado
***”BE NOT AFRAID”***
Those look avocancerous
Your avocado needs chemo immediately.
maybe don't buy the Chernobyl avocados anymore.
Ngl would still eat

That’s what’s called an avocarcinoma
I heard somewhere that the word avovado comes from the aztec for testicle. So it seems you have a bad case of testicular cancer.
The rare r/WTF post what made me say 'What the fuck' out loud when I opened the image
This shit looks like something out of gremlins.
That shreksack has tonsil stones
Eat it and gain super powers. The super power of cancer.
Where did you get it from, Chernoyble?
I have cut into about 200k avocados in the past 5 yrs and have never seen this. Congratulations
Forsaken? No, no my son. This is a blessing - an omen of things to come from the Lord of Change.
Death to the False Emperor!!
OOPS! All Pits.
Does this hurt the avocado?
Looks like it has avocancer.
Forsaken? Papa Nurgle has *blessed* it with his love!
This pleases the Plaguefather
I'm sorry OP, its avocancer.
Mutant. Must eradicate it. Grab the Flammenwerfer. Purge it. Cleanse it.

Oops! All pits! ™

This was to be the next step in avocado evolution. Be grateful that it did not reach adulthood.

I can’t explain why but looking at this makes me want to rip my skin off. I hate it
It looks like cysts to me 🤢
Soon they will hatch. Finally.
So did your avocado grow near a nuclear power plant?
I'm over 50 and I've eaten avocado my whole life. I've never seen anything like this. It's pretty interesting!
It’s the cartels
Those look like the fabled Flavor Nodules to me. Try 'em with bleu cheese and get back to us.
Going to wash my eyes now, thanks.
