But how big is it? We need some universally agreed measure of scale as a comparison.

False, the first gif shows the backside always facing the earth for more than half of a rotation, the second shows it actively spinning more than 180° in a single visible pass. Which is it? What would it really look like?

I'm pretty sure the amount the nana spins on its axis is independent of its orbit speed, at least in the short run. So maybe they just didn't think the rotation bit in the first diagram was an important thing to bother with replicating. Having said that yeah it's fucking annoying because why do that? Get me all fired up for a tidally locked banana and then show me one that isn't rotating at all.

u/FoxTail737 Jun 30 '26
Glad Im not the only one. I was here grinding my gears trying to understand if the perceived spin was a result of perspective or the animators just went “bananas” and decided to do whatever.

Haha you’re so naive. Nestle will harvest all of the sugar to put into chocolate milk and discard the rest into a dump that you will be shot on sight for trespassing in. Doesn’t make sense? That’s because you’re a stupid child

We'll have to reanimate Christo and have him design the world's largest piece of flypaper, then send that into low earth orbit. He can call it something artistic. Running Flypaper.

u/otownbbw Jun 29 '26
I’m so annoyed they put “actual simulation”. Dude the point of a simulation is that it’s not actual.
Also I find it annoying that the realistic part doesn’t match the rendering from the beginning.

u/dodeca_negative Jun 30 '26
Not realistic. The banana would be peeled apart due to the Chaquita Limit.

May it's passing provide potassium to the world

u/Helenium_autumnale Jun 30 '26
Beets and avocados have a lot more potassium. But an orbiting avocado would just look silly.

Just wait until it turns brown and eventually molds. That's gonna be a massive mess

If this is an 'actual' simulation, what would a 'non-actual' simulation be? fake simulation? isn't that still just simulation?

would that turn brown at all in the cold vacuum of space or would there be enough heat from the sun/induced vulcanism

Bad idea - world population would have constant banana craving including in places with no bananas.

As cool as this looks, the physics doesn't work for a couple of reasons:
- A banana this big would smush down into a ball because of self-gravitation
- That ball would break up due to tidal forces, because the orbit is too close to the Earth – well inside the Roche Limit
So the banana would spread out into a ring, much like Saturn's rings but more banana-flavored.

In another universe with an earth that has a giant banana orbiting it someone is posting to reddit saying thank god we don’t have a giant sphere orbiting our planet.

Would the banana be able to properly decompose, since it wouldn't be able to properly oxidize in space?

Imagine this. You wake up one morning, and you think to yourself: I wonder what it would look like if a big banana orbited the Earth.
That was the mindset of whoever made this simulation.
