I would like to believe people like this don't exist. But sadly, they do.

Think of the average person. Half the population is dumber than that.

Average is sensitive to outliers, it is possible more than half is below it (or above).

You want median.

I was paraphrasing a George Carlin joke:

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Mashed bananas and scrambled eggs are the same!

This seems like a troll, because there are other (better) egg substitutes that a vegan would likely already know of.

In the same way that not everyone is a competent cook, not all vegans are competent cooks. I don't find it too surprising that someone might naively think "banana in this custard would be nice" without grasping that the egg is structurally important for the dish rather than for flavor or protein.

Mashed banana is a good substitute for egg in lots of baking recipe, like cakes and such, but for custard it wouldn't work at all, cornflour is probably what they want to use, or something along those lines. A thickening agent.

I think the egg functions as a thickener in there, so some kind of starch or maybe a vegan gelatin would work.
