I’m a simple man, if Summoning Salt uploads, I watch
- The last one had an especially alluring title. I had to immediately watch it.
  
  The Quest to beat jimmypoopins
- I recently found a channel with the same production format as SummoningSalt. The name of the channel is 'Abyssoft'
  
  I watched a pretty lengthy FF7 speedrun progression video and got immediately hooked!

This hits hard.

I'll need extra pizza tonight
I feel personally attacked.
- That's how you cells feel too!
- My cells relate to this comic
  
  As long as they don’t unionize, you can suppress those little fuckers
- Shake it up with a carrot or a piece of celery to placate them. Just enough to avoid a uprising
- On the other hand, do you feel less alone now?
- I have never posted that I feel personally attacked.
  
  But I came to these comments to say that I, too, feel personally attacked.
What's this thing with people claiming tomatoes are vegetables? It's got seeds in it
- Fruit is a botanical term for things with seeds in it. Vegetable is a culinary term. They aren't mutually exclusive so when people say something is either a fruit OR a vegetable, it isn't an apples vs oranges comparison.
  
  Because they are both fruit
  
  Hilarious :)
  
  Vegetables are the parts of a plant that doesn't contain seeds (roots, leaves, stems, buds, etc).
  
  Tomatoes are called vegetables so the US could get around serving kids real vegetables and give them ketchup and pizza for lunch instead.
- Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
  
  Ketchup is a fruit jam
- I mean, that it's a terrible definition of vegetable, considering it rules out a very large amount of vegetables, including tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and cucumbers.
  
  You can apply that to pretty much any categorization we make for the natural world.
  
  The natural world doesn't care for our categorizations or social construct. It can, and will, make shit that just does not fit to any of our boxes, and like it!
  
  It's a definition of "fruit": thing that's full of seeds, intended to fall off the plant.
  
  Technically, any part of a plant is a "vegetable". Tomatoes? Vegetables. Lettuce leaves? Vegetables. Leek stalks? Vegetables. Spruce 2x4? Vegetables...
  
  ...Those aren't vegetables. That's the point.
- The majority of vegetables are also fruits. They're not even close to mutually exclusive terms.
- Why should anyone care this much though. It isn’t poisoning anyone. it’s not breaking anything in the kitchen. It’s still edible. No animal died to give it to you.just Eat it and be fed.
- Generally when people talk fruits and vegetables they are referring to culinary tradition. Vegetable does not have a precise scientific definition anyway, despite what you've heard from The Big Bang Theory.
  
  I thought the definition was pretty clear but basing it on some tradition is a bit vague.
Seriously though: How is a meal consisting of bread, vegetables, and meat unhealthy?

Just because it tastes good doesn't make it unhealthy.
- Bread isn't necessarily that healthy and usually pizzas have a metric fuckton of cheese on them which also doesn't help to make them any more healthy
- Most pizza is white bread, marinara sauce, cheese, and less healthy toppings like red or cured meat. Basically pizza is carbs and fat, minimal micro nutrients, and moderate protein. The amount most people need to eat to feel sated is generally more calories than a meal centered around beans, lean meats, or other proteins.
  
  There is also a lot of variability. Deep dish pizzas or some pan pizzas from some chains are soaked in oil in the pan when cooked (looking at you pizza hut). Certain sauces also boost the calorie count, such as ranch or Alfredo.
  
  Likewise, a thin crust pizza with lots of veggies is comparatively ok in terms of calories per slice.
  
  I always mentally treat pizza the same a pasta. It's a potential to carb and calorie bomb yourself without feeling sated for long, but can be prepared in a way to be better and part of a rounded meal. Eating a couple slices with a salad is fine. Eating a whole pizza on to of other regular meals in the day isn't.
- I think it's mostly the amount eaten.
  
  When prepared from basic ingredients pizza and pasta are the exact same ingredients : flour, salt, tomatoes, cheese and some extra toppings.
  
  Except that when I'm making pizza at home I know I have to double the amount of flour compared to pasta.
  
  I don't know why but we are just eating so much more when it's pizza rather than pastas or another meal.
- You're seriously asking why pizza is considered unhealthy?
  
  Short answer: because it IS unhealthy.
  
  You're just restating the claim without giving one reason it's not healthy.
  
  It's literally this skit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peMtoUVZC5w
  
  So you're restarting the claim, with no supporting evidence?
  
  Why am I sick, doctor?
  
  Because you're sick!
  
  You just restated the claim without any supporting evidence, that isn't contributing to the conversation.
What is even a mario kart speedruns lmao
- Mario Kart Blue Yourself%. Not even joking, look it up.
Tomato isn't even a vegetable, it's a fruit.
- Botanically, yes, culinarily, not necessarily.
Y'all should check out Cells at Work: Code Black.
