minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•10 months agoI feel like earthmellon would just be a coconut. I’m excited for windmelon and firemellon, though.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•10 months agoThat’s true, I guess because of the peel. By that logic watermelons would have to be blue, though.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•edit-210 months agoI was thinking that it’s about composition (watermelon is mostly water), so probably more capsaicin. Hot like a pepper but big and round. And maybe some orangish bioluminescence too, since it’s a made-up fruit and I’m allowed some creative licence. Windmelon would then be very light and spongy.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•10 months agoI wonder if a fruit like that could ever be GMO’ed.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•10 months agoI see no fundamental reason why not. The barriers are mostly cultural and in understanding details of biology when it comes to GMOs.

Rockmelon is another name for cantaloupe
