MelatoninWhat is the smallest hill you would die on?
Pineapple is a legitimate pizza topping lol
Sweet and savory is a god tier class of food IMHO. Pineapple on pizza is just the tip of the delicious iceberg. Have you tried peaches with rice and curry? Or raisins in rice? I also like sweet and sour sauce, especially with little pieces of assorted fruits.
My girlfriend hates it, in her opinion the only way to go with savory is salt, although she tolerates pork and pineapple on pizza, since the salty pork overpowers the sweet of the pineapple. But I love it!
Sweet and savory is an amazing combination, I’m also a fan of sweet and salty. I loveeeee me some dark chocolate covered pretzels
I’m with your girlfriend. I don’t find pineapple on pizza disgusting, but for some reason it just doesn’t gel for me. Same with sausage and jam on a biscuit… One or the other, please!
But anchovies on pizza… yessssss. Get them salty, grimy fuckers in there.
Pineapple, banana and curry, optionally with peanuts. Now that’s a real pizza!
Username checks out?
DeconceptualistThat sounds very interesting!. Do you mean curry leaves, or a particular curry sauce? I know e.g. masaman often includes peanuts.
Curry powder! I’ve never tried curry leaves or curry sauce, but those sound delicious too. Whichever way you add the curry, I highly recommend trying it!
I discovered that combo when I was living in Sweden where it’s a fairly common one that most pizza places offer. I believe the pizzas are usually called Bahamas, Afrikana or Tropicana and they always feature pineapple, banana and curry, and usually either ham, shrimp or peanuts.
Oh cool. So is the banana added before cooking or after? Is image it could get rather mushy if cooked.
You add it before cooking! It actually doesn’t get mushy at all, and brings out the banana’s sweetness.
Who hurt you?
AtomicbunniesPineapple with green olives! Sweet and salty!
Ew, I’ve given olives an honest shot but I just can’t even. Feta is great for a salty pairing with pineapple though!
I’ll have to try that!
absGeekNZAdd hot sauce, seriously. Cheese + Sweet + Hot = Epic
UnhingedFridgeOr hot honey with some spiced sausage.
Never tried it but it sounds good !
I used to hate on it before I tried it at a friend’s house. Man, Hawaiian pizza is one of my favourite ones now and I will happily join you on dying on this hill.
runiqAmen, brother. Scoot over.
Legitimate? Sure. As good as other options? Hell nah, brother. I’ve got too many other delicious options that take up cheese space to waste on pineapple.
If a company has a bad interface on their electronic item I’ll not buy it. To me it’s a big hill but I guess it’s how you want to look at it. I’ll stop buying anything from that company if they keep doing it
I would agree with you, but I still want to own a microwave. There are none with reasonable UI behavior as far as I can tell.
One dial is power level, the other is time.
TILLREDA microwave oven, white
TILLREDA microwave oven, white Preparing food couldn’t be easier - simply turn the knobs and your food or beverage will be ready in no time. This handy, small-size microwave oven is easy to place just about anywhere. 2 year limited warranty. Read about the terms in the limited warranty brochure.
Looks good actually.
But how does it handle the door opening early? Does it still leave unused time sitting on the time dial?
Yeah, it doesn’t clear the dials, and if you want to manually reduce the time you do need to adjust the time dial, but you get a delightful bell sound when you do so. The door does stop the magnetron when open though.
davelNeat! I’ve only ever seen commercial-grade ones like that.
ExecNo, this is the peak microwave from 1997
The Antique Microwave Oven that's Better than Yours
I just ordered this, I love it, thank you
If i need wifi, bluetooth, or an app to use a product that shouldn’t need it (eg a toaster, toothbrush) i will not buy it. i also won’t buy a wireless device (say a bluetooth speaker) if it requires an app. I would be willing to pay $500 more to have a tv with no smart features than a ‘smart’ tv. corporations: keep your shitty malware. my phone is a temple.
My new corollary: If your online e-commerce site asks customers to add a tip, even if $0 / no tip is an option, I’m not buying shit from you.

Search engines should not use locational data including IP address to provide “more relevant” results. Checking for restaurants or weather forecast? You should have to manually add the relevant search terms. Want results in a specific language? You should have to manually apply this filter.
Convenience is not worth the potential harm of locationally biased search results.
For example, where I live is like White Nationalist Central Station. My search results are thus far more likely to net me results with a pro-US/nationalist skew, thus potentially entrenching or normalizing harmful beliefs.
Whenever I’ve tried bringing this up with Techlords, I get a feeble, “B-but then you couldn’t say ‘restaurants near me’ UnU” and like … good? It’s not like it’s hard to type city and state in the search field.
I’ve never found a search engine that even has this as an option. Even Sear XNG instances net results that are clearly aligned with the location of the instances server.
A Kagi dev even lied to me when I was looking into that as an alternative, saying they don’t use location, when it’s pretty easy to determine that they do.
I also don’t want a “good” algorithm. I also don’t want to see big corporate sites prioritized either. If some backwoods nobody has a site that’s more relevant, show it to me. I feel like pre-Google search engines were better, but that’s another vent for another day.
Now where did I put my false teeth and walker???
100% agree.
To add to this, when I’m looking up something online I want info provided by the internet in general, not just by my next door hillbilly.
eatham 🇦🇺With duckduckgo you can disable the country filter thingo to get international results, and you can also change it to another country
kateYou know what’s hilarious about this basically non-functional setting? If I toggle the switch off, it provides results based on my IP address’s location, but if I toggle it to “UK” it will also provide some results for the UK city that my town is named after, without me ever providing the name of my town lol
DDG is a for-profit brand that’s a lot more nefarious than people think. They’ve even succumbed to AI.
Just tried setting no country, then ducked “wine”.
Results were definitely still from my country first.
When I set display language to US English, results came up from the US, instead.
When I set it to French, it shows French websites at the top.
So the language you set affects what websites you are shown in the results. That sucks.
But you can actually just turn off ads in the settings. That’s pretty fucking neat!
Even the lite and html versions of DDG will provide locationally biased search results. There’s no way around this. Best you can do is use a VPN, but then you’ve still got the problem of reading locationally biased results, just for a different location. It sucks.
Oh believe me, I know. DDG was the first one I tried, and I tested it with every configuration possible. Like many other search engines such as startpage and kagi, you sure can do this in the settings, but it will do absolutely nothing to stop it from using your IP address to net locationally biased results specific to your current location. You may assume it would function like this, but it doesn’t.
I even tried their html and lite versions, but although it was less cluttered and much more pleasant to use, it still provided results that were very clearly based on my IP address.
I’m not even sure what those settings do because they appear to have no function. Maybe they change language and currency on some sites for convenience, but again, that’s not what I’m talking about in my comment! I’m saying a search engine should not use any locational data whatsoever to adjust results. And if you reply “well, good luck finding one because it doesn’t exist,” then congratulations, you understand my comment! They don’t exist because we’ve all sacrificed our societal wellbeing for the sake of the smallest convenience.
Even if changing it to another country/region worked (it doesn’t), we’d still have the problem of netting biased results based on what country I switch it to. That would be akin to searching while using my VPN, which once again, does not solve the problem of search engines using IP address to provide locationally biased results.
have you actually properly tested that the results in your location are more extremist? like compared with using a vpn on ddg?
Don’t have to properly test it to know local biases show up in results. It’s easy for anyone with 2 brain cells to determine that the majority of religious institutions that will show up for South Dakota (my state, for example) are Christian, every political candidate will be conservative/liberal, most “therapists” will be Christian, etc.
Not sure why you’d mention a VPN and DDG because neither solve the problem. The locational biases will just switch to those of somewhere else.
A search should provide generalized online results, not specific to a location, unless the user manually inputs terms for a location. Not sure what you’re not comprehending about this hill I said I’d die on. You seem to be going around in circles. I’m not interested in debate or whatever you stinkass redditeurs think.
Anyway, if there’s something that’s unclear about my opinion, let me know. I’m not interested in debate, and since this is a thread about dying on hills, you’d have to be incredibly stupid to think you’ll change my view with your weak arguments.
Absolutely amazing to me that you think unless someone has written a masters thesis or funded a study that they can’t easily determine the nature of an obvious situation. Genuinely one of the worst types of debate/STEMlords.
ip adress only gives the nearest big city. information like this is pretty useful to show you info based on your state/province.
yes I don’t think a search engine should promote more extremist views but it’s pretty nice if when I search ‘left party’ I get a left party from my country, and not the American democratic party.
And in my opinion, that’s an absolute dogshit thing to want, as I’ve expressed, for the reasons I’ve outlined above.
Your apathy and selfish craving for convenience will kill us all.
Go tell someone who cares.
Or a small hill and I could not agree more. This is relieved to Noam Chomsky “manufacturing consent”.
The first time i searched for a business online the results came from a city on the other side of the planet. I’m ok with getting search results in my area.
That’s on you for not entering the proper search terms. User error.
Cloud-based. If a product won’t work if my internet dies, or I can’t access my data without internet or a subscription, I won’t buy it.
MelllvarIf a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for “safety”, then it’s too dangerous to be road legal.
I used to ride. People who say that know it’s just a bullshit excuse to be a dick. Just roll your eyes and/or flip them the bird. Actually, most of them get off on you flipping them the bird, because they’re dicks 🤷
No, it’s morphed into one of those pearls of wisdom that people pass down and truly believe. They all have their ‘true story’ of blipping the throttle and “suddenly the car that was moving over to smush me stopped!!!” The assholes who know it isn’t true can be discerned from the true believers by the humor they find in their tales of blasting people with sounds.
PsychadelligoatIt’s explicitly the opposite, scientifically, according to my safety class
The deep rumble being loud overwhelms anyone’s ability to properly locate the bike quickly, and they demonstrated this live. It’s definitely harder to locate a LOUDER bike
There are no bad pizza toppings, and any pizza with only cheese and sauce is a wasted opportunity.
