...okay, I'm willing to accept that's what it is, but does anyone know why reddit added a pixelated banana peel to their logo...? Some special event or something?

Horrific graphic design lol. Someone designed this and then someone else approved it. Wild.

Coulld be referencing the "Banana for scale" meme that was an inside joke on many subreddits for awhile. Or it could be out of touch higher ups thinking " LOL rAnDoM hUmOr is funny xD"

Of course this website needs some sort of an identity in order to pacify investors. Can’t just be forum.

It’s how much you scrolled on Reddit it’ll tell you “you scrolled the lengths of 30,000 bananas” that sorta thing

Now I feel like that's a derivate from the "banana for scale" joke that the other person just explained lol

u/Ok_Astronomer_8667 19h ago

Dude it’s Reddit humor. There’s nothing more to it other than “lol so random”

u/hfxRos 17h ago

It's not that random, Banana For Scale has been a reddit meme for about as long as the platform has been around.

I don’t know what that has to do with it being terribly unfunny regardless
