did you know you get more nutrition from cooked carrots than from raw?

I did, actually! I only steam mine. Rarely eat them raw.

After wondering this for the longest time,(and finding no definition)I have come to the conclusion that it means total indifference to any preference.
No opinion.
None of the above.
Apathy.

Pretty much, it's the Talkbass way of saying this...

It goes all the way back to our first president, George Washington, when he said to his father, "I carrot tell a lie. It was I who cut the cherry tree down wit my widdle ax" And his father whipped the holy hell out him.

The "carrots" thing is ancient, but easy to explain. But if you really want to get into the hallowed relics of TalkBass, here's where you should go next:



The history of that particular emoji is quite amusing.

I can't take it any longer. I understand 'apples and oranges' but what does a reference to 'Carrots' on talkbass stand for.

Its been years and I haven't figured it out.

I always took it to mean these choices are insufficient or I would rather choose something else.

Turnip the bass. I carrot hear it!

What's the best carrot for metal?

There. Answered my own question. (Girlfriend says: "Okay. Next time you pass out, that's the tattoo you're waking up with.")

most people don't get enough vitamin C-
just take the cyber-version; it has about the same nutrients as a pill I am sure.

"Carrot" is the Talk Bass euphemism for sex.
Its usage started as a necessity because of the high percentage of chaste or religious bass players.

If you consider how and where "carrot" is often substituted, you'll get the idea.

Note: When you see "carrot" as an option in a poll, it means that person would rather have sex than a Precision or Jazz, etc.

A carrot is a ROOT vegetable. Fifths come in glass bottles.

Or,... "carrots" as an enticement to spark interest,... Kinda like dangling a carrot in front of an animal to attract attention and interest,... Urban Dictionary: carrot and the stick

 

[Batmensch]

Who cares? It makes no difference to me.

This is what carrots stands for. Really. Ptretty much "who F****** cares?"
