This was bullshit the first 2000 times it was posted to reddit and it's still bullshit here.

I just roll my eyes at it now.

FYI there is no reliable way to tell if a watermelon is ripe after it is harvested. The most reliable indicator is the tendril on the node the peduncle is attached to. When it is fully dry, the fruit is ready.
