This dates back to the fall of the great Steve Apple who was killed by Jewish space lasers that gave him cancer. There is a long voting process involved to select the new leader of the Apple clan and dedicated followers wait patiently for a white air drop that signals the new clan leader has been chosen. As an additional fact John Apple's grandmother was from clan Wutang which has made this choice highly controversial. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FEIN@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago this is peak permalink fedilink source parent [–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 months ago (1 child) The apple never falls far from the tree. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) yes, but which tree? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago Binary search tree permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bubs12@lemmy.cafe 10 points 3 months ago (1 child) Pretty sure he is John Appleseed until September 1st permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago Canon permalink fedilink source parent [–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* Johnny Applebookphone permalink fedilink source parent [–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago John Appleseed not obvious enough? permalink fedilink source parent
