20 March: The 2026 staff drive is now CLOSED! If you are selected to move forward, you will be contacted via DMail. Important note: this process takes a long time, usually several weeks. If you would like to know the status of your application after 10 April, feel free to contact me (Rainbow Dash).
24 February: Just as a heads up, we've updated our uploading guidelines to include a new entry. This was added to address a string of bad faith content that was exploiting our very permissive content standards.
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

BlockedNice hips, but watermelons aren't fruits, they're gourds.

MemberI just tagged melon, tag implications tagged fruit, so you're preaching to the choir.

MemberGourds ARE fruits.
"Gourd is occasionally used to describe crop plants in the family Cucurbitaceae, like pumpkins, cucumbers, squash, luffa, and melons. More specifically, gourd refers to the fruits of plants in the two Cucurbitaceae genera Lagenaria and Cucurbita, or also to their hollow, dried-out shell."

MemberNever thought my fav otter would end up being the gateway to learning melon and gourd facts.
