Banana Lengths
Can someone possible explain banana lengths to me? Am new to reddit and looking at the “achievements” tile, why do I need to scroll 1000 banana lengths?! #WhaaaatThe

"banana for scale" is a time-honored Reddit inside joke (well, it started outside of Reddit, but is primarily associated with Reddit). At some point, it was enshrined in the official app with a metric that shows how many bananas are equal to the length you've scrolled inside the app.
Don't worry, I never see it brought up; having that achievement isn't a status symbol. I never think about Reddit achievements at all, personally.
