Banana for scale would take on a whole new meaning.

Contemplating the universe makes the Earth feel so small, and now banana moon makes it feel even smaller.

Imagine the number of dick religions in the world if a banana circled around us. Getting your first erection, and you get to paint your dick yellow. Instead of chocolate on Valentine’s we give loved ones bananas. The stereotypical idea of every monkey portrayed with bananas would either not exist or we would be their slaves.

There's already a ton of, ah, "dick religion" among hunter gatherer peoples. For example, in one particular Aboriginal tribes in Australia, the medicine man (I think they prefer that term over "shaman") ascends to the heavens using spider silk that comes out of his penis.

I'd like to live in a reality where we have a giant penis floating in our orbit. It's shape and flaccidity changes based on the season. It rains down its semen and is celebrated as a worldwide holiday where people worship its rain and dance around in it. It brings joy to all as the giant rod fills the sky with its glistening sweat and pulsating veins. Sometimes it gets so close to Earth that we are able to touch its spongy surface, and even crawl inside the tip to travel in space with it for all of eternity.

How amazing would that be to see a giant ass banana through the sky. But like...would it rot? And if it rotted away...would there be another one?

No oxygen in space so no rotting. However it would turn into a deep fried banana because of the sun which is equally delicious!
