One of my fave things on Wikipedia is going onto the talk pages for mildly controversial subjects and seeing what kinds of arguments you run into.

@misty ingredience, noun: the quality or state of being an ingredient

@misty@digipres.club contains traces of pizza dough

@misty this is fierce and combative.

Also, why is it that some people don't like pineapple on pizza? There is nothing weird about it, it's normal.

Maybe it's because it's an actual fruit.

Then again, pizza is a pie.

@misty In the specific Swedish translation of Through the Looking Glass grew up with, when the red queen asks Alice how to make bread, in order to get around the untranslatable nonsense of the original ("you take some flour..." "where do you pick the flower, in the garden?" "it' not picked, it's ground" "how many acres of ground?") they instead opted to have the red queen insist Alice start earlier and earlier in the process, so it was like "first you take some flour" "how many fields of wheat do you need to sow?"

Anyway, that is the specific scene I think of when I'm seeing this conversation like "first you take pizza dough" "what's in the pizza dough, genius?"

@atax1a @misty lost it at seeing someone post something pedantic while writing it like that in all apparent sincerity, before i read even a word of the rest of it

@atax1a @misty I love this so much that I want to use it but I'm scared people will think I'm stupid

@misty @dckim Pineapple on pizza is fine in my opinion, but I think it would work better with a curry sauce instead of the tomato base of "normal" pizza since it can be too sweet that way.

@atax1a @misty

Pleasure to make your ingredience

@misty I like the suggested compromise at the end
