does anyone know how to choose a perfectly ripe avocado? or how to store avocados such that they stay ripe for a long time?

What in your opinion is the most interesting first-world problem? Concrete candidates with possibility of technological solution only. Ie “my avocado is always unripe or overripe when I cut it open” rather than “spiritual hunger and lack of meaning”

My trick is to push gently on stalk. If it easily pops into flesh, it’s ripe. So I buy unripe, do stalk-push test daily once they turn dark, move into fridge when test passes to stage for eating. So hack is: buy only unripe with a stalk, and maintain ripening queue of ~3-4
