None of these are hot takes lol.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 47 points 9 months ago

ayo did you remove your own vote how are you at zero.

[-] Pechente@feddit.de 41 points 9 months ago

Maybe they're just not very confident about their posts.

[-] owatnext@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

Yes. I think it is a conflict of interest to upvote my own post. Of course I think I contribute to the conversation, but that is not for me to decide.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Everybody’s vote total is defaulted to 1. Nobody upvotes themselves. Removing your vote just makes it less likely people will see your comment.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

You downvote the default score in order not to do something you never did?

[-] owatnext@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I remove the upvote, not downvote.

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Everyone's posts are upvoted by themselves by default, so by retiring your upvotes from your posts, you are, in practice, removing visibility from your posts, thus handicapping them, rather than giving them a fair shot.

I rely on the Gs who sort by new.

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 17 points 9 months ago

Yeah, at least online these are all very common opinions. I think the pineapple on pizza opinion is actually the most controversial take he listed.

[-] Igloojoe@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Pineapple on pizza is just people with different tastes. Everyone has their favorite foods and what they dont like...

I feel about Pizza the way I feel about burgers, put anything you want on there, I'll try it.

[-] dunz@feddit.nu 2 points 9 months ago

I've had a burger with pineapple on it. It was delicious

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Right. And don't topping-shame, bro!

[-] ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz 0 points 9 months ago

Slightly hotter, but still quite tame take:

Ham is the problem with Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple is innocent.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

What? Ham is like the 2nd best pizza topping after only pepperoni.

[-] ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz 4 points 9 months ago

The ham used on pizzas around here (northeast US), usually isn't salty enough to work on a Hawaiian pizza. It's often deli ham, which runs the risk of being sweet, but otherwise flavorless.

Bacon or pepperoni work better. Jalapeno also helps.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Gorgonzola works even better with pineapple, than bacon, prosciutto, or pepperoni

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Ah, so your objection is only with pineapple. See, I don't do pineapple on pizza not because I think it's unholy, but simply because I don't like pineapple in general. I thought you just objected to ham on pizza on principle; I can't speak to it as a companion for pineapple.

[-] ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

It's hard to see where I'd choose it over another topping, but I imagine with most pizzas I don't really care about ham's failings.

Pineapple and anchovies might be the two stanard toppings that are really build-arounds. Most other standard pizza toppings seem closer to "do whatever, it'll be fine"

[-] Damage@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago

Parma ham and Parmigiano pizza is awesome

[-] ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

That does sound great! Ham isn't necessarily a bad ingredient, it's just unusually difficult to tell if it'll be good or it'll suit your tastes, especially with more inexpensive kinds.

[-] giantfloppycock@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

These takes are colder than my dead mother.
