The Peanut is an entity of unknown origin and intention which has appeared during pivotal moments in Blaseball history, especially surrounding those that incur 502 Bad Gateway events. Not to be confused with peanuts, The Peanut is a large rotating peanut that displays ominous messages to Blaseball participants during times of siesta. While The Peanut is on the site, no games can be viewed, no items can be purchased, and no ballots can be cast.
The Peanut was thought to be a symbol of and/or punishment for Blasphemy, but its additional reappearance during the events of The Grand Unslam have called that into question.
History of Appearances
The Peanut first appeared during the events of Blasphemy after the Peanut Fraud on Season 3 Day 2 (Monday, August 3, 2020). The Peanut appeared with the word "BLASPHEMY" in red text and a string of letters above in dark gray text that could be revealed by highlighting. The Peanut appeared again during the additional short periods of Blasphemy, again with the word "BLASPHEMY."
The Peanut appeared for a second time after the events of The Grand Unslam on Season 3 Day 74 (Thursday, August 6, 2020). The Peanut was visually identical to its first appearance, but the red text underneath changed every few minutes to display the following series of messages:
- HELLO
- DID YOU TASTE THE INFINITE?
- I AM BENEVOLENT
- I AM A SNACK
- I AM A LEGUME
- I WAS BENEVOLENT
- YOU ARE INSATIABLE
- WHERE IS YOUR RESTRAINT?
The Peanut appeared for the third time following the semi-final games of the Season 3 postseason. This was the first time The Peanut appeared unrelated to a siesta. The Peanut only appeared on the site for a few minutes and displayed the following messages:
- SO ABOUT THE PEANUTS
- THE BOOK WAS STRIKE ONE
- THE FRAUD IS STRIKE TWO
- YOU WILL LEARN DISCIPLINE
- PEANUTS
- GET YOUR PEANUTS
- WHILE YOU STILL CAN
Following these messages, the site returned as normal for a brief period. Participants quickly noticed that the price for a bucket of peanuts in the shop had dropped from 1,000,000 Coins to just 1,000 (still at a 1:1 ratio). Many participants attempted to purchase this now-attainable amount of peanuts, and the site promptly crashed, sending Blaseball into a true siesta.
