Hehe without cheese hehe so you are just eating bread
This I don't get. Around here the "default" or "plain" pizza is tomato sauce, ham (or prosciutto if you're fancy), cheese and button mushrooms, so if you leave out the cheese there's still plenty of stuff on there. But apparently the default varies from country to country .

Not sure if this is unpopular but avocado is amazing with maple syrup.
Salty liquorice is awesome (although I think this is not available in many countries in the world and its not unpopular in countries that have it)
Oh and a mixture of liquorice and pear ice cream is also pretty awesome.

  • icing is just bad

Yes.

Wheat isn't human food and causes untold problems. Proof: wheat cannot be broken down into amino acids. You are left with polypeptides 5 AA long than causes leaky gut, autoimmunity and gluteomorphins that have opiate like effects on the brain to feed wheat addiction

...because wheat is a carbohydrate, not a protein. it's not supposed to break down into amino acids. by this logic we shouldn't be eating most vegetables or fruits either.

carbs are supposed to be a quick source of calories for energy; it is a cheap substance, and typically makes up over 50% of the average person's diet. to eliminate the vast majority of carbs in a person's daily diet is functionally equivalent to dieting around encouraging the body to undergo ketosis, which is not only totally cost-prohibitive for the vast majority of people who exist, but straight up completely unsustainable for any significant population to actually adopt in any even remotely widespread capacity

Incorrect

enlighten me. what part of what i said was incorrect? that carbs don't break down into amino acids? or that carbs aren't intended to break down into amino acids? or are you insistent that any food a human consumes ought to break down into amino acids otherwise they shouldn't be consuming it?

i never said anything about carb restriction

so you believe that if we were to somehow replace everyone's wheat carb intake with something else (potatoes?), all of the problems you attribute to the consumption of wheat would magically disappear? you really think wheat is the fundamental problem and not our broader eating habits in general?

This I don't get. Around here the "default" or "plain" pizza is tomato sauce, ham (or prosciutto if you're fancy), cheese and button mushrooms, so if you leave out the cheese there's still plenty of stuff on there. But apparently the default varies from country to country .

in america, a "plain" pizza is crust/sauce/cheese, so omitting the cheese leaves you with a piece of bread with marinara on it. if you want toppings on a pizza you have to specify! eg a pepperoni pizza is a plain pizza with slices of pepperoni or a hawaiian pizza is a plain pizza with extra cheese, pineapple, and some from of pork (ham/bacon/etc)

speaking of pizza, (almost) all homemade pizza is trash; consumer ovens are not designed to get hot enough to cook a pizza fast enough to create the texture that is so desirable in a piece of bread covered in cheese and sauce; there's also the energy cost of cooking a single pizza that makes doing so far less ethical than ordering a pizza from someone operating a pizza oven all day

i think the reason most people dont like the idea of cheeseless pizza is the fact cheese pizza has barely any sauce, and if you get it like that, yeah, its just a fancy bread, but with the extra sauce it needs it easily tastes great

Wheat contains proteins such as gluten, gliadin, wheat germ agglutinin, etc.

The video I posted goes over how those proteins compromise human health and that modern wheat is much more dangerous than the wheat of the bible.

That's what I thought, but I've heard people specify they want a "cheese pizza" so I wasn't completely sure what the default was.

This, but without the mushrooms. Mushrooms are an extra that I gladly do without :>

Chocolate, sweets and crisps are disgusting.
Not strange but hardly anyone agrees with me.
Your supposed to eat them separately :P:rofl2:

My son actually agrees with you. He will have very little chocolate, only at Christmas but crisps? He will literally run away when I have a packet near him!

He'll grow up to be a great and wise man one day.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though

    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
