Tossed a whole avocado pit in my bokashi bucket, it sprouted roots through the side 3 weeks later

I read online you could compost pretty much anything with bokashi so I just chucked a whole avocado pit in there without cutting it up. A month later I went to drain the liquid and saw this pale root thing poking out of a crack in the side of the bucket. Turns out that pit was determined to grow despite being pickled in fermenting food scraps. Has anyone else had a seed or pit go rogue in their indoor compost setup?

The pit just decided it wasn't done yet. Bokashi fermentation is aggressive but some seeds are tougher than that. I've had ginger and potato scraps try to sprout in my bucket before. You basically made a tiny pickled avocado tree experiment.
