Boring. *Next*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDiscovery #2:<\/strong> Watermelon shooting! \ud83d\ude21 What does this have to do with ripeness?

It also asks the user to knock on watermelons and it analyzes the result. It seems fairly legit with over 100 downloads. The comic sans font is a little sketch but it seems to be the most legit from all the other apps I scrolled past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBonus Discovery<\/strong>: This came up when I searched \u201cwatermelon ripeness\u201d in the app store. It\u2019s pretty irrelevant but I saw a pic of a pug so I took a screenshot. You\u2019re welcome. Also, can we acknowledge that this app has over 10K downloads?! I clearly missed out on this ‘watermelon challenge’. <\/p>\n\n\n\nI hope you had fun geeking out with me today about the acoustics of watermelons. I enjoyed learning about how you can apply speech processing techniques and machine learning to characterizing watermelons. After reading way too much about watermelons, I feel like it is worth mentioning that there are other important factors that contribute to a tasty watermelon such as the density, color and appearance on the bottom of the melon, firmness, and sugar content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fact: Pugs are pretty cute when they eat watermelons.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHowever, I will take my dad\u2019s tip that you can knock on melons to listen for what sounds tasty. I am looking forward to going to the grocery store and testing out my ear. I feel more confident that I can find the right melon that sounds tasty and I hope you do too.
