Templatehttps://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/87ae7ded-ddc4-4b87-82cb-9485a7a0c2de.pngNot my cleanest work but it’s fine if you don’t look too close
GoosLife, Looks great mate, no one would notice if they don’t know.
Also I think the template in itself is funny in an anti joke kind of way where you expect him to be protesting something but then he’s just holding up an empty piece of cardboard really passionately lol.
Vespair, And gross. Petition to replace all onions with their vastly superior cousins, the shallot.
prole, But pickled red onions are the shit.
Lennnny, 
Red onion cult rise up.
Vespair, But pickled red onions are the shit.
prole, I feel sorry for you.
Rodeo, Pickled anything is shit. That disgusting vinegar stench makes me retch.
riodoro1, This comment is clearly racist towards the whole of Eastern Europe. I’m reporting it right away.
Vespair, But I love borscht!
xrtxn, In my native language it’s actually called purple onion.
mokus, Until you cook them. Then they’re purple-ly clear.
Rubanski, Atomic Purple
FiskFisk33, or you cook them with a base, like baking soda, then they turn green
phorq, Spanish Is this that “alchemy” thing I’ve heard so much about?
Schmoo, Or soak them in vinegar and they turn pink and make a delicious sandwich topping.
hakunawazo, With this knowledge, we can’t left him alive.
- The onion industry, probably.

ji17br, If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle
mastefetri, They can be purplish in some growth stages but on the whole they are a deep red, a crimson. Unless my eyes are just broken.
wishthane, Anthocyanins are responsible for the color and they act as a pH indicator, changing color from bright red in acid to bright blue in basic solutions. Soil acidity could have an impact on their color at harvest, but it also really depends on how you use them. If you put them raw in a salad, they’ll probably turn quite red regardless, but it’s also quite common to find them as a purple color.
Limitless_screaming, 
About half of the pictures I see are Purple.
Rodeo, None of those are red. They’re all close to red, but none of them are actually red.
EmperorHenry, 
Tor?
Il_winters_lI, They also taste nasty because they’re onions.
queermunist, 
How dare??? 😠
Il_winters_lI, muriatic acid tastes less like acid than onions.
prole, Is that bad? Acidic is a staple flavor archetype in food all over the world. I remember not liking onions as a child… Then I realized I was wrong.
queermunist, Yeah I’ve basically retried every food I was picky about as a child.
Turns out I like all sorts of stuff if it’s cooked right!
queermunist, Acid actually tastes sour.
HonoraryMancunian, Fun fact! Acid tastes sour because that’s what sour is
Jimmyeatsausage, They played us for absolute fools…
Agent641, Same with red cabbages.
Its a conspiracy by Big Red to profit from infringing on Purple’s intellectual property. All the other primary colours are in cahoots. Its time to take down their shadowy cabal.
lseif, it was named before purple was invented
ElBarto, 
Ok, so we can never ever change the name.
Lyrl, So says Robin Red Breast, the bird with orange belly feathers
stebo02, 
Big Blue is doing the same thing with blue grapes. Poor purple…
PeriodicallyPedantic, WTF are blue grapes?!?!
stebo02,
RagingRobot, The chewing gum company is behind this?!?
itsnotits,
- It’s* a conspiracy
- It’s* time to take down
PunnyName, Anthocyanins
MxM111, 
I can. Easily. But then, I have color perception deficiency. But do not luck ability to argue as compensation.
ummthatguy,

WarmSoda,
nixcamic, This comment chain reads like the Magneto “no the real Purple Onion” meme.
brbposting, Also:

Apparently “some mainland European countries” know their colors.
WarmSoda, I like this. I think we’re really getting into the nitty gritty of it now
can, There was no word for purple back then.
ummthatguy, It was taken from us by the Kaiser.
prole, So I tied a red onion to my belt, which was the style at the time…
Pumafred9, Gimme 5 bees for a quarter you’d say.
ARk, The future is now old man. Free the onion
ook_the_librarian, 
And yet they had purple onions. Curious.
can,
ObviouslyNotBanana,
