Secret panel: https://tapas.io/episode/220482

Alt text from replies: 4 panel comic.

First panel: A strawberry, a raspberry, and a blueberry are sitting on the floor. A tomato comes along and asks: “Can I join berry club?” – “Sorry, Tomato. Berries only”, says Strawberry.

Second panel: Tomato holds up a sheet of paper. “Well this article says I am a berry and you’re not.” Angrily, Strawberry says “No way! ‘Berry’ is right in my name!”

Third panel: Close-up on Strawberry and Raspberry. “What?! I’m an ‘accessory’ fruit? What the hell is that?!”, says Strawberry in disbelief, looking at the paper. “I’m not a Berry either?!!” exclaims Raspberry, sweating.

Fourth panel. “These are strange times for berry club. Strange times.” says Blueberry. Tomato, a watermelon, and a banana are sitting next to it. Strawberry is sitting way in the background, looking sad.

    Is there a comprehensive list that shows most common berries, fruits etc. categorized? Especially the “I wouldn’t have guessed that” ones, like the ones in the comic. I could use that for a Pubquiz

          Okay but you must realise you are looking too deep into this. If your first xomment was a joke then okay. But if you seriously meant it you need to rethink your focuses. It’s clearly a joje about how we classify different fruits.

            You think I seriously think that strawberries and raspberries identify as berries? Thank you for elevating my originally rather lame joke to new heights.

          Well these are D&D based stats… generally speaking, doesn’t quite fit the rules of reality. IE int would give a bonus to knowledge nature, in addition to increasing skill points allowing you to put points into it. (or in 5e inteligence (nature)), either way in pretty much all iterations the skills tend to be leveled by going out and adventuring. (A DM might grant a circumstance bonus if your character had specifically done some kind of teaching related to the subject, but the rules as written effectively having high int gives a bonus on the chance of knowing something, even if the character hasn’t seen a plant or a classroom in years.

    The pitfalls of mixing culinary categories and scientific (botanical) categories. We have to ask ourselves the hard questions: If you were an anthropomorphic fruit, would you refer to yourself with culinary or scientific categories?
