Wer ist Werner Rydl?

Btw. what the great Scott is wrong with Instagram’s embedding code? It’s like 10.000 characters long and the result still happens to look weird?

This Is What Fruits and Vegetables Looked Like Before Humans Intervened.

(…) around 10,000 years ago, bananas were packed with so many hard seeds that they were basically inedible.
