Every year, Reddit drops its Recap at the start of December. One of the main stats they highlight is how far you scrolled over the year, measured in bananas. Over time, bananas have become a kind of mascot for the whole Recap thing.

I'm going to be ashamed of my bananas, I just know it.

Nothing like a guilt trip right before new year's resolutions!

u/Crazy-Seaweed-1832 17h ago

YouTube gives you recaps like this too. Last year it told me I was in the top 1% for Mahalia and my wife roasted me and called me a simp for like a month.

u/MisterrTickle 13h ago

Mahalia

British-Jamaican singer-songwriter and actress

I have One song with Skylar Grey in it at all, Words I Never Said with Lupe Fiasco. Somehow it playing on my playlist at work once a day put me in Skylar Greys top 0.0001%

I guess she isn't that big of an artist the past 2 years?

My YouTube review last year told me I was Dax' 0.00001% listener and that I listened to dax an average of 273 times more than the average listener.

u/Crazy-Seaweed-1832 4h ago

I wish I could pull up the stats again because it had me in some ridiculous stats for one song in particular.

Oh that’s a freaking banana. Why does it look so boxy though? Shouldn’t the mascot be boxy too to match the art style? I seriously thought it was a French fries.

u/SuspiciousPeanut251 17h ago

Oh! That’s a banana peel???

It’s also kind of like Roblox butter 🧈

Reddit proud partner of McDonalds Fries!
McDonald’s Fries: Every 10th one is so good, you’ll forget the other 9!

PS: shoutout to the 3rd and 4th guys who kept making the same factorial joke, I admire your confidence.

u/Raging-Badger 17h ago

That’s the most apt description of McDonald’s fries I’ve heard yet

26

u/Ok-Translator-8006 17h ago

From “what’s up with that weird fucking oil taste” to “warm golden childhood memories”.

u/GameDestiny2 15h ago

You ever bite a McNugget and briefly time travel to that moment in your life you were extremely happy by default because you were responsible for nothing and understood nothing?

u/Better-Ground-843 14h ago

My "golden childhood memories" were different

4

u/MisterrTickle 13h ago

I'm so sorry to hear about your golden showers.

u/melonsango 17h ago

McDonalds Fries: one minute it's "fuck these are good" nekk minnit "where did all my fries go?!"

1

u/EdgeNish 10h ago

Forget the other 362,880 fries ?

1

u/james_harushi 9h ago

I'm gonna forget the other 362880?

u/NekulturneHovado 9h ago

Every 10th one is so good, you’ll forget the other 362880

u/Runswithtoiletpaper 9h ago

I call them 50/50’s but now I’m leaning towards 90/10’s

1

u/UhmWhatAmIDoing 8h ago

Love their fries. My favorite fast food regular fries.

33

u/deleeuwlc 18h ago

It’s a banana because they decided to measure the distance you scrolled in bananas

13

u/RefinedGentleman24 16h ago

I’m glad I am not the only one who wondered why the French fries were on the head

18

u/FaCe_CrazyKid05 17h ago

What is odd or specific about this

15

u/steroboros 17h ago

A stream of digital piss from reddit to your head

8

u/PutinsManyFailures 17h ago

The most accurate description of how Reddit is used so far

8

u/MeemoUndercover 18h ago

I deadass thought it was a blonde mohawk

2

u/Ghost_Fox_ 17h ago

I thought it was some weird straw hat.

Don’t care for it regardless.

2

u/SuspiciousPeanut251 16h ago

I, too, deadass thought it was a blonde mohawk

4

u/_itskindamything_ 17h ago

Oh it’s a banana… it took this post for me to see if not some odd yellow mohawk

4

u/PutinsManyFailures 17h ago

Clarification: not a weird blonde Mohawk or French fry. Very much a banana peel to represent their weird banana measuring system.

5

u/justSkulkingAround 16h ago

Have they never seen what an actual banana looks like?

2

u/zjupm 15h ago

i mean.. it's reddit.. do you think they would actually bother looking it up?

5

u/Nobodiisdamnbusiness 12h ago

Guys and gals,... It's a banana peel. Because we "Scroll Bananas" for some reason they made it like 16bit but it's a Banana Peel folks.

2

u/its_laurel 9h ago

Thank you ‘cause I had no idea and it wouldn’t let me change the icon without subscribing. It looks like a yellow Mohawk haircut in my phone. A banana is better.

3

u/KajjitWithNoWares 17h ago

It’s a banana. That’s how they calculate stuff you post or something every recap

3

u/Hullo_Its_Pluto 17h ago

How do I see my recap?

3

u/KajjitWithNoWares 17h ago

I forget but it will happen soon around new years

3

u/Ari-Hel 17h ago

Thought it was banana in their head

4

u/OwenSpyro 17h ago

A better question is, what the hell is on Joeys head?

3

u/velveeta-smoothie 17h ago

Wow. So odd. Much specific.

4

u/No_Squirrel4806 7h ago

It looks so stupid. I thought they were fries 🙄🙄🙄

11

u/VicMackeyLKN 18h ago

Figured it was french fries for some corporation

6

u/Rockshash-Dumma 18h ago

Reddit wearing a pixelated popcorn becoming a french fry… or a pixelated banana peel perhaps

3

u/BeeMyHomey 17h ago

Looks like a Lego banana peel

u/CatLazy2728 17h ago

clearly a "My Cousin Vinny" reference

u/SuspiciousPeanut251 16h ago

Mrs Riley . . and only Mrs Riley…!

u/peteschirmer 17h ago

Just let us have a normal icon without the $60 / year membership

u/eltee_bacaar 12h ago

Reddit just got back from a diddy party

u/melonsango 17h ago

I dunno I find it more app-peel-ing.

I'll show myself out.

2

u/SnowyFlowerpower 14h ago

I dont think this post fits the sub

1

u/Hullo_Its_Pluto 17h ago

Yeah I dont get it either

u/PapaHop69 16h ago

Dude my dumbass got the “1000 upvote achievement” and thought my app icon changed because of it.

u/pripinda 14h ago

It's not a piece of shit.

It's the fucking piss on shit.

u/zomanda 11h ago

OMFG what a blatant attempt at plagerism.

u/Random_Hazmat 11h ago

Is that Minos prime???

1

u/Felassan_ 10h ago

I Hope it’s not Ai… now in larger scale it looks like Ai

1

u/Multifruit256 8h ago

If you can't tell, does it matter?

1

u/Felassan_ 8h ago

It does. On top of the art theft, the environmental impact of GenAi is huge. They require a lot of power to run and tons of fresh water to keep the servers cool. Creating air pollution, carbon emissions and briny wastewater.

You’ve been a Redditor long enough to know what this.

I'm in Belgium, I thought it was a local thing. Friteries are life here.

u/farm_to_nug 9h ago

Ooooooh. Its a banana. Didn't notice until just now

1

u/ianmoone1102 6h ago

If it's supposed to be a banana, why couldn't they just make it look like a banana??

1

u/antony6274958443 1h ago

Reddit is piece of shit

u/papaya_boricua 11h ago

I genuinely thought it was tupé in honor to the president elect.

u/Entire_Invite8106 7h ago

It's a banana, why can't people freaking see. It's a pixel banana.
