Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bi…

Who says I want all five flavors? Most dishes I eat and like don't have all of them.

You don't have to have all of them at once, but there's no reason to arbitrarily limit a color from the canvas of pizza.

TIL there was any controversy there. To me chili has always implied beans.

AKA how to know someone is not from Texas

Oh, this is a Texas thing? That makes sense, they barbeque wrong too. *ducks*

I agree, and I assume Matt is making a naughty & nice list of who disses this ultimate culinary advancement, so that he can sue them later.

is this because he prefers cheese pizza?

First they insisted I like pineapple on pizza, and I did not speak out—because I didn't mind it. Then they insisted I like mushrooms, and I did not speak out—because I was indifferent. Then they insisted I like anchovies, and I did not speak out—because I could tolerate them. Then they insisted I like every topping, and there was no one left to agree with my actual taste.

Anchovies and kiwi pizza. Just popped in my head and I now bless you with this interesting combo my brain told me.

You hooked me, can’t resist the recipe challenge : Caramelized onions (sweet), sun-dried tomatoes (sour), roquette salad or kale (bitter), olives (salty), and mushrooms or tempeh (umami) I’m hungry now

Tomatoes already have umami. I would say olive are good but could really place with anchovies or capers depending on if you favour those. They are good too. Anchovies has the advantage of packing salty and umami in one.

- "a judge ordered Mullenweg to remove a controversial login checkbox from WordPress.org that required users to pledge that they were not affiliated with WP Engine before logging in" So, in short, he's mad at the court for ordering him to do something, and (while the lawsuit is still running!) is basically mocking the court order, and trolling the judge and plaintiff.

Then, while we are at it, why not put strawberries, mangoes, or bananas on pizza? Why stop at pineapples?

I also take issue with the idea that there are just five cardinal flavors. There are many, many more, which cannot be expressed in terms of these five, especially in the savory category.

Think of the flavor of meat, spices, and pepper. They are all fundamentally different, and yet would be bundled under savory in the 5-flavor scheme. The word "spicy" itself has two distinct meanings.

What does shadowbanned mean to you?

Shadowbanned means "in the sense that the server sees the domain and automatically flags the post," as you said, which is the behavior described in my original comment. I'm not sure what you are getting at.

You wrote this in present tense:

> Although I may not have the exact reason the domain was banned, I've been around long enough to observe that everytime a 404media.co article is posted and gets traction, the comments unanimously complain about the paywall and it gets flagkilled.

So I thought this is what you meant by shadowbanned.
