LazaroFilmWho the hell cuts their pizza into fifths?
Not sure why the picture shows up sideways… it was taken vertically.
cheerMost phones just use metadata to tell what way an image is supposed to be rotated and will always take the picture portrait. It was probably removed by the image host
Good to know. 😟 :(
Plaid_KaleidoscooeIt does the exact same thing to me. But if I go in my gallery and make a copy of the picture and upload that, it works correctly.
I don’t get it either.
I uploaded via Memmy… maybe I’ll post a bug report.
Also, for me tonight: one portion = 1 pizza
BobertI identify as a family of four.

tatterdemalionFor parties: just buy more pizza
CanadaPlusI like it, except that the crust is all on one end of the “noodle”.
Resol van LemmyFor parties AND for you (when you want some yourself but you’re the one serving to your guests): cut a + shape and serve what’s left. No one will notice that some of the pizza is missing.
vintproxDio + Giorno 😅
Oh… eh. Oh well. I know I can edit. But … yeah.
blazeraif you try cutting an odd number of slices you're gonna have a bad time
a family of 5
woelkchenPeople who share a pizza with four others, perhaps?
That's when you cut it into sixths and take the last piece after "offering" it to everyone else.
TelorandThe D'ni.
SirNukeLikely an attempt to claim there's fewer calories per slice, even though people will just cut it in quarters instead of fifths.
It’s like that time I only had two drinks – a bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka. (oh my god I died for the next two days don’t do what I did)
Can’t get mad at me for having only two drinks!
I just got a hangover from reading this. Been there, my condolences!
1/5 is 20% of a pizza. So if you cut it traditionally into eight slices, that would be just over a slice and a half.
So I would cut into 1/16 and eat 3? What a bother.
If you were thoughtful you’d only need three cuts
You could also do 5 cuts and eat two slices… anyways, I ate the whole pizza.
…or you could cut the pizza into 10 pieces (5 cuts across) and 2 pieces count as a portion.
I make pizza quite often with 12 oz (340 g) dough balls. When I cut the pizza it’s usually 10 slices (5 cuts). 8 slices they’re too wide and need folding. 12 slices is too narrow. 10 is best. I usually eat 4 though, not 2.
Cloudless ☼Okay I will cut it into 100 slices and take 20.
TalosAlso, who eats their pizza with a salad?
It goes well actually
I had a chocolate mousse salad does that count?
I’ve been trying to lose weight by making gradual changes in my eating habits in the hopes that it will result in a big change that i can stick to for the rest of my life and I’ve learned a reasonably sized slice of pizza and a salad is pretty satisfying and salad really does go well with pizza. It’s not super healthy and by no means an everyday meal, but it’s better than eating half a large pizza in one sitting like i used to.
That’s good. Realistic, gradual changes are more likely to stick.
Pizza is a salad.
mkhopperWho the hell cuts pizza?
Fold, eat.
Fold, eat.
Instant calzone… or pizza sandwich
👍Maximum Derek👍It’s Nestle, they have their child slaves cut it for them.
Must be the guys who designed Trivial Pursuit.
You mean the Moops?
Whoa, an obscure Seinfeld reference in the wild!
ButtersWeren’t there six wedges though?
Same person also did the installation instructions for Glacier Bay medicine cabinets. 3/5 and 2/9 were measurements I recently had the joy of running into.
I can say with 105.6% accuracy that I did not install the framing to the exact dimensions as specified. If Glacier Bay has a problem they can make tape measures with 1/5 and 1/9.
Could that have been a metric conversion issue? Convenient measurements in one system of units are not necessarily convenient in another
bdonvrThat looks like around 2 slices.
Interetingly, I’ve concluded that cutting a pizza to 4 pieces makes the rim support the tip properly, regardless of the size of the pizza, while cutting the pizza to 8 pieces makes the tip of the piece always flop. However, one quadrant of the pizza is harder to eat, because it widens so radicaly. This has made me a believer of cutting the pizza to 6 pieces, as this solves both issues.
I woudn’t be surprised if some maths genius would’ve calculated that the 5 pieces would be the most optimal for both issues, the tip support, and the edibility. However, cutting to 5 equal pieces is rather bothersom, so I’ll be sticking with 6 pieces personally, regardless of what pizza enginers may have calculated.
Doesn’t Costco do 6 pieces by default? That’s always struck me as a good size.
It might be designed that way to make the nutritional facts more appealing. They can define the portion sizes arbitrarily, so the per-portion amounts don’t look so high.
I beg of you to take 5 seconds to think about what you just said when the normal slicing of a pizza is 8
They can define the portion sizes arbitrarily, so the per-portion amounts don’t look so high
I dunno about y’all, but I cut my pizza’s into 1/8ths, which would be smaller than 1/5.
But do you have just one piece when you do?
I’d be willing to bet that this particular pizza is very small, so most people would cut it into 1/4ths.
I always cut my frozen pizzas into eighths. I eat the whole thing in one sitting either way, but I prefer smaller slices.
The FDA is in charge of portion sizes. No one decides it on their own.
What a company can do is fiddle with the total number of portions. Which is how you get 5 portions in this pizza.
People who buy frozen pizza and think it’s enjoyable
I don’t eat it because it’s enjoyable, I eat it because I’ve been laying in bed all day trying to get my depressed ass up and becoming a functioning productive member of society, until I reructantly accept that fact that it will never ever happen and that I am in fact required to ingest some sort of food in order to survive. So I throw a frozen lizza in the oven
Brother, let me try and help you out.
Next time you’re in the supermarket stocking up on frozen pizzas, get your self a packet of grated pizza chees, and some extra sliced ham, and / or fresh peppers. Pile on the extra cheese, ham, and slice up the peppers if you decided on those, put it in the oven as usual, but for a few minutes extra.
The overdose of cheese, and extra flavours will have you feeling a lot better!
Genuinely wholesale advice, thank you <3
Do what @spooner said, but get a loaf of sliced high-fiber bread. (In the US you can even find white bread that’s high-fiber.) That way you can make toast if you’re too depressed to wait for the oven. If you can afford microwaveable turkey or chicken bacon and pre-boiled eggs then you’ll have a reasonably healthy breakfast in just a couple minutes. Add canned fruit (with no sugar added) for dessert.
Or visit the salad bar. You can get a nice container of exactly however much ingredients you want to add to your pizza, already cut up and ready to go
frozen pizza is enjoyable you cunt.
