When I saw the first photo, I first thought, what is he doing?! Making his loved ones laugh in hard times is a skill that not everyone possesses. Maintain this ability. It can bring a little light into a dark day.
You can put the banana peels next to unripe fruit. Bananas contain the ripening gas ethylene. Thus, the fruit ripens faster.
The ole' fake peeing trick, can't believe it worked, but it made me laugh more than my wife. I haven't seen them in Suriname, but there are places in the Caribbean that have banana gas houses where they pump synthetic ethylene into giant closed warehouses to ripen up green bananas, super common in Jamaica.
We used to use bananas to ripen other fruits, but nowadays bananas are the only thing available, and even they are often hard to find. I'm gonna overdose on fruit when I go back to Cambodia. First things first, gonna buy a whole jackfruit and see if I can finish it one go.
