Eve caused the downfall of humanity with an apple, China caused the downfall of Nvidia with a peach. What other fruits have caused global disasters?

    Is “peach” just a euphemism for “buttocks” or is there a deeper meaning here?

      It is just a euphemism, since this is a shitposting lemmy, I tried not to make it too deep.

    I’ve read an urban fantasy book series where a genetically engineered tomato wiped out almost all humans… Does that count?

      Oh, he did plenty wrong. Being a “fruit” wasn’t really much of a factor, tho.

    If we’re counting plants in general:

    • Dutch - Tulip Mania
    • Many places - Opium and similar plant based drugs.
    • America - Lettuce lead to the downfall of many people’s bowels this past year.

    Is sugar a fruit? A lot of drama centered around sugar crops

      it’s more of an extract rather than something that the plant grows that can be classified as “fruit”. cane and beets are 10-20% sucrose. Even in the most concentrated parts, no one would call that sugar even if it is quite sweet, it needs to be purified further.
