Default a truly baffling question about strawberries

(meat n potatoes) in
om:

i was eating a strawberry and was suddenly bowled over by a profoundly
puzzling fact. ever notice the seeds on the strawberry are on the
outside? but why?
all fruits have the seeds on the inside. take a blueberry, grape,
cherry, apple, tomato, etc. etc.

why do strawberries have the seeds on the outside? it's like a guy
with sperm on the outside of his ballsack. that shit is weird.


each fragaria/strawberry seed is in its own fruit.

blackberries/brambles are closely related, but you can see the structure
more readily.
