The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Cadence]

I know you're being metaphorical, and I know that when people talk about pineapple in this thread they aren't actually talking about pineapple...but it's only a matter of time until someone chimes in about it and I wanted you to be prepared:

Spoiler: The Ugly Truth About Pineapple

In at least one contest, pineapple is the most popular pizza topping in California, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon, Utah, and Virginia. It's also the second-most popular topping in America, overall.

It's also apparently the #1 topping in Australia, but I couldn't get the image to link.

I got this image from a Reddit thread, and the comments are hilarious. Everyone is all "I call bulls--t, there's no possible way that my favorite isn't everybody's favorite!" and lots of "I demand to see the data!" and "Google searches aren't the same thing as pizza orders!" and so on. Basically the same things people yell about with respect to D&D.

Turns out, that "pizza as D&D" metaphor was closer than I knew.

I know that personal experience isn't proof, but I can attest: when I worked in a pizzeria, pineapple was very popular. Not as popular as pepperoni or extra cheese, but it was definitely in the top three. If someone ordered a one-topping pizza, it was almost always pepperoni...but if they ordered a two-topping pizza, it was almost always pineapple and bacon. I don't know how useful that info is, but there it is.

If only the point of Pizza was to be searched, instead of being sold, purchased, and eaten,....

Objectively is the new literally. People aren't using the word, um, literally, they just use it as a signal of intensity of feelings.

Hmmm.... let's try this again!

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the vast majority of gamers that one RPG could be all things to all gamers.

Do you ever start writing a response in a thread and after like, three sentences, you realize that you no longer care enough to finish writing it? I've done that twice already in two different threads.

They both are clearly wrong, but I don't really feel obligated to correct them. It's like watching raccoons digging around in someone else's trash... they're making a terrible mess and someone should stop them, but it's not like I have to clean it up and the raccoons look so happy.

1. A response to a thread? Bruh, I've written thread starters ... literally thousands of words, and then been like .... Nope.

2. Generally, I have found that if other posters are truly wrongity-wrong-wrong, someone else will eventually point it out and save me the time and aggravation.

3. Sometimes you wanna let the raccoons dig around in the trash undisturbed, and other times ....

Even better still when other posters lose interest, no one tells them, and they end up looking around at the metaphorical vast empty room in which they've been arguing with each other for days.
