Today, my brother and I had a long argument. He believes wholeheartedly that pineapples are not actually fruits, but berries. When I showed him a google search, he accused me of "faking" it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I tried demonstrate to my little brother that, unlike what he sees in cartoons, it is impossible to slip on a banana peel. I'm not too sure he's convinced. FML
Today, I was talking to my grandma and I mentioned the fact that tomatoes are technically fruit. It's been an hour and she's still yelling, accusing me of lying to her. FML
Today, I realized just how fragile and idiotic my brother is. At a family get together, I bought a giant box of popsicles for all the kids to enjoy. He refused to let his sons have one, because according to him, “it looks gay”. I swear my mother found him by the road or something. FML
Today, I had to explain to my friend that a blue raspberry is not a blackberry, and that blue raspberry is an artificial flavor, not a fruit. This explanation took much longer than it should have. FML
Today, my husband argued with me for an hour, because he believed that loaded potato skins grow naturally on a tree. FML
Today, my 24-year-old brother tried to convince me that Hogwarts is real, because there is no way a person could have written that based on imagination. My parents agreed with him. FML
Today, I discovered that you can't always assume your little brother is kidding when he says that you have a spider on top of your head. FML
Today, my brother and I got in a fight and he told my friends that I am mentally disabled. They believed him. Apparently, "everything makes sense now." FML
Today, without even trying, I convinced my 17-year-old daughter that blueberries are just peas holding their breath. I have raised a complete airhead. FML
Today, my brother decided to help me artificially age some of my artwork by singeing the edges slightly. Apparently "my brother set fire to my homework" isn't a valid excuse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just googled it, and pineapples are in fact, a fusion of berries. YDI OP.

A pineapple is not a fruit, but a mass of berries attached to a stalk. So while it is not a single berry, he is technically right.

Your brother is correct, and you are not. From wiki, sourced from a botanist at Purdue University: "The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with edible multiple fruit consisting of coalesced berries." So it is, in fact, a berry. Which is a type of fruit, really.

Truth is, pineapples are actually a cluster of berries that grow very close together.

Some people just can't take being proved wrong.

Berries are still fruit by some definitions. But yes, pineapples are berries. They are multiple segments each with 1+ seeds all held together growing out of where a flower used to be. So I must ask, what did you google? Because nothing should have supported your argument over his.

Bananas are also berries.

Actually, you're the one who is wrong. Pineapples are berries. Therefore, they are actually the ovaries of the plant, and the seeds are the actual 'fruit'.

Pineapples are classified as berries. It's not one contiguous fruit, its a bunch of berries fused to the central stalk.
