This reminds me of the one Christmas where both my parents got the other an expensive new coffee machine. I knew. I was the only one of their kids who knew. I said nothing. It was really funny watching them open on Christmas day.

Good thing they could easily return one of them.

OP, you missed a quality joke by asking what to do with 23 mangoes.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago

I'll take the mango number five.

This is where you add layers to the problem by giving away mangoes. You give Alice two more mangoes than you give Gunther, and the dog steals one but you still have twelve mangoes. How many mangoes did Gunther get?

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Five.

Started with 25, still have 12, need to account for 13.

Dog took one, so that's 12.

If Alice and Gunther got the same number it would be 6 each.

But she got 2 more than him, which is just a +1/-1 adjustment.

So Alice got 7 and Gunther got 5.

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

They did the math

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Did the dog steal from me, Alice, or Gunther?

And expensive. At least at the rate I go through them.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Huh, are they? Should I feel fortunate that my family has a mango tree?

Who writes mangoes instead of simply mangos?

I never knew some people write it differently

[-] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 31 points 1 year ago

mangoes where he pleases

[-] radix@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I accept "mangoes" because of the English rule that nouns that end in a consonant followed by a vowel should be padded with another vowel ("e") before the "-s". Another example I can think of off the top of my head is "heroes", not "heros".

However, I also accept "mangos" because it feels right. Wiktionary says "mango" is Portuguese, and I don't know Portuguese, but at least in Spanish you don't pluralize with "-es", just "-s".

Pickle em, naturally

[-] roo@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

You know how to solve this son!

Son: eats everything, no problem!

[-] match@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

Son: eats 1/5th of mangoes and brings 1/5th of the remaining amount to school

Friend: eats half of the amount son brings to school

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You can turn these mangos into man-gones pretty quickly if you eat them on their own or with some Tajin seasoning; alternatively, you can't have too much mango habenero sauce around the house. (I will admit that it is too spicy for me sometimes).

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

There's also mango milkshake, which is amazing and will use up a lot of mangoes, same with mango lassi/smoothie, and mango cheesecake is underrated.

I'm sure I can think of recipes for that amount of mangoes, living in a place where mangoes are very common in the summer and eaten a lot, it's just not a big amount.

You can also make mango parfait or salad.

Wait until they are fully ripe and then freeze them for smoothies!

[-] TheLonelyWonderer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Find a recipe for dim sum restaurant style mango pudding.

Or Thai mango sticky rice.

Or just dice them up and use them as topping for yogurts and ice cream. Ripe mangoes are delicious.
