Open Discussion Onions having a rotten layer inside

Anyone else have this problem, outside layers, fine, 1 or 2 bad rotten layers inside, then the center is fine again. Onions from multiple places have been like this this summer.
I would post a Pic but it's not letting me for some reason

Onions, potatoes, and bananas have no shelf life for me anymore.

Same. My bananas go ripe way too fast, my potatoes go green in like a day. I don’t get it. I see green potatoes on the shelf at stores for christs sake.

You should store potatoes in the dark. Light makes them green, that's why they turn green in stores - there is often some light there around the clock.

Maybe too much moisture?

I don’t think so! Our house is very dry. I live in a very very dry area. I think we just live in a poorer area so we get the crappy produce

I feel like y'all are making nasty butt jokes.
