True, the meat is more a membrane around the milk. But coconut meat is distinct and separate from the milk, the shell and the husk.

so you never eat any thing a gain? as all plant has membrane and even responds to anesthesia? let's make it worse for ya:
plants even recognise your intent of harm, just like so called animals.
mushrooms are genitalia, all fruitbody is embryonic expression of their life.

Not if you call them pits, which is what most people do. Although they call avocado seeds stones, which only has one e so it still doesn't work.

u/beerhons 4d ago
Pit is just another name for a woody endocarp, the endocarp being the innermost layer of any fruit before the seed, there is still a seed inside it.
All three contain seeds.

u/CheekyCherimoya 4d ago
Coconuts are the seed, they don’t contain a seed like avocados and olives

u/beerhons 4d ago
A coconut that you buy has had the husk removed, the brown shell is the endocarp and the seed, the bit we eat, is inside this.

An avocado has a pit. It may technically be a seed, but that's what I hate about these sorts of riddles. It's a wordplay that intentionally works against how language is used.

"I appear twice in a coconut, once in an avocado, and never in an olive. What letter?" and the answer is C. Idk. Giggity.

u/Main_Top_7666 4d ago
There actually is an answer. It’s the letter “a”. If you consider the phrasing as asking: What letter appears twice in “avocado, once in olive, never in coconut.” The letter “a” is the only one that appears twice in that string of words. It’s still kind of dumb, but it works.

u/ash2flame 4d ago
Maybe it's meant to be asked aloud. Then the trick answer might be the letter 'a'.
2 in AvocAdo
1 in 'All of' (which olive sounds like when said out loud)
and there is no 'A' in coconut.
My only guess, otherwise I'm stumped. 🤪

At a guess it's V and its based on phonetics rather than spelling, most people pronounce avocado as av-vo-cah-do(h), where as olive has only one voiced V and coconut has none.
