Some guy REALLY didn’t know how much spaghetti to make for four people.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago

I swear officer, it looked like an appropriate amount before I started boiling it.

[–] JayDee 10 points 2 days ago

They misread and made four people of spaghetti.

How do we know it isn't a naturally growing pile of pasta?

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unless it's invasive it's pretty unlikely, pasta grows on trees in Switzerland

You beat me to it!

This was actually the flying spaghetti monster, but some Piney bastard was too afraid of his noodelyness and opened fire...

What if God was you or me? Just a spag pile in Jersey...

What if god was one of us?
Throwing over 500 pounds of pasta in a rush?

He'll rise again, as his holy carbohydrates ripen with bounty

Because it wasn't cooked. Natural pasta is always in a cooked state, because it hasn't been dried out yet in drying ovens.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nobody dumped it. It's just growing naturally there. You didn't know spaghetti just grows out of the ground and needs to be harvested?

[–] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

That's incorrect; it grows on trees:

It's just a tradition, they do this when one of their greats passes away (James Gandolfini/Tony Soprano).

Pasta 19:1: The heavens declare the glory of spaghetti; the skies proclaim the work of His noodly appendages.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh Great Glob

Send forth your wriggly, jiggly, noodly appendages for your touch does inspire much Globliness

For Cleaniness is closer to Globliness

Our Father, who art in saucepans,

hallowed be thy name;

thy spaghetti come;

thy will be done;

on earth as it is in New Jersey.

Give us this day our garlic bread.

And forgive us our passatas,

as we forgive those who masala against us.

And lead us not into rice tasting;

but deliver us from weevils.

For thine is the pasta,

the meatballs, and the gravy

for ever and ever.

Ramen.

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 16 points 2 days ago

Authorities say they were able to dispose of all of the pasta in under an hour.

But at what cost? Specifically, how much marinara and parmesan?

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

Knees were heavy. Mom's spaghetti.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

This is just the extra when I tried measuring pasta for one

Disaster al dente off the coast of San Clemente

Travelling with more than one can be a big. .... pain.

Man, theological knowledge among the general population has really taken a dive. People don't even recognize manifestations of the FSM anymore.

Then was it fresh? That spaghet is noodly.

I guess it also might have rained enough to relax the strands.

It was boxes in a woman's house that he kid threw out when she died.

Made a big al dente in the ground!

The nice Italian man just wanted to feed the animals.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They went and "cleaned" it up? It's biodegradable, they probably put it in a landfill where it's doesn't benefit anything. They could have just left it and it would have been gone in a few weeks.

[–] snail_hunter@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago

Being biodegradable doesn't mean that it belongs in that environment. This could have messed with the native plants and animals in a bad way. The landfill isn't a great option but it is possible that it was industrially composted.

It's house, who else
