I’m fine with this as long as you acceot that “Hawaiian pizza” is an abomination

upandatom ,

I’d add hating on Hawaiian Pizza into this list.

Irony!

Wrong, it’s delicious. The Hawaiians got it right.

That one Greek immigrant in Canada got it right! Lol

They’re an honorary Hawaiian.

Pineapples are south American. It’s a rascism thing

Adkml ,

One of the islands is majority owned by dole and is one of the largest pineapple farms in the world.

Fuck dole and monopolies but “saying pineapples are from Hawaii is racist” is dumb as shit

UnicodeHamSic ,

Thr plant is native to South America. Dole sold them as Hawaiian so they could charge more. Same thing with dragon fruit. It is also south American but they gave it an Asian theme so it sounds fancy and they can charge extra. Really basically every good plant came from the America’s but we associate then with some fancier place. Tomatoes, Italy. Potatoes? Ireland. You and I both know if we called spaghetti Mexican fusion they wouldn’t be able to charge half what they do for it at the olive garden.

RoabeArt ,

Same with coconuts. They are associated with Hawaiian and Caribbean cultures when in fact they’re native to South Asia and the Austronesian islands.

Nah, some Canadian Greek guy invented Australia’s most popular pizza, the hawaiian pizza

IHaveTwoCows ,

Hawaiians had absolutely nothing to do with it. A Greek guy in Canada made it up.

Fridgeratr ,

Nope. It’s awesome

UnicodeHamSic ,

You have fallen for whatever marketing department propaganda this pineapple war is

UlyssesT ,

Sure.

Those same people could also accept criticism of all of the above (regarding D&D, I won’t just accept criticism of the game system, I will join in and rant for hours about what a hot mess 4th Edition was) without tying it to their identities to the point of getting enraged when consumer products (or the means used to make them) are criticized as if it is an attack on themselves.

No. I’m not happy so nobody else is allowed to be.

LaChaleurDeLaNuit ,

But how else will I feel superior and generally much more intelligent than other people?

ZetaLightning94 ,

Only hate the really early Halloween decorations at the store when they take away summer things early. Sometimes I need a new pool float in late august…

RubiksIsocahedron ,

We can; the narcissists cannot.

Gasandthefuhrerious ,

Yes to everything except the advocados. I hate superfoods and what they do to the soil.

UnicodeHamSic ,

You don’t eat avocado because it is healthy. You eat it because it is basically butter

Getallen ,

Butter doesnt taste like a mixture of piss, pus, and shit.

@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Wow I should check out piss puss and shit

Gasandthefuhrerious ,

8fit.com/nutrition/health-benefits-of-avocados/Its being promoted as being healthy, even super healthy.

All jokes aside advocados require a lot of farmland and water that is better spend on better crops. greenly.earth/…/what-is-the-avocados-environmenta…

UnicodeHamSic ,

I mean, in that it is a fatty fruit we are using in in place of meat meaning that it is still an efficient use of farmland compared to cattle. I am from the southwest. We have a history of using avocados separate to the advertising wave

Gasandthefuhrerious ,

If you use it as a replacement, all is well. It is a big if though:

In the Netherlands advocado is actually placed in the NOT a meat replacement categorie because of its lack in nutritional values. The winner is Tofu and Tempah for meat replacement and the ‘vegatarische hamburger’. Here its just a ‘super food’ compared to other fruits. And people eat it like that.

www.gewoon-duurzaam.nl/eten/vleesvervangers/

Cattle is always ineffective compared to most other foods (next to other issues) and we should try to replace meat with replacement products. However we should aim for an efficient replacement that can be produced locally in each country specific. For you that can be advocado, in the Netherlands that is probably going to be soja.

I just wished the industry finally made something as tasty as meat…

UnicodeHamSic ,

I am confused how you are eating avocado over there where it isn’t “meat” portion of a meal. Like, avocado toast here is a popular item. In that place the avocado is used where you would use a portion of meat or cheese. The other use is a condiment where it would be taking the place of a meat or dairy option.

At least here in America we have that tech pretty much perfected. Most fast food has a portion of the meat replaced with textured vegetable protein and no one knows or cares. For nearly any meat portion of a dish the tech is there to use a cheaper plant alternative. Steak is a hard one. However any kind of fried or breaded meat can be perfectly replaces.

I watch this one guy on YouTube sauce stash. His main gimmick is finding cool ways to cook vegetables so they come out like meat. His results are impressive really without much complicated work.

Kindness ,

Excellent. More of this sentiment please.

Also, it’s important for everyone to feel comfortable expressing their dislike for things, so long as jumping on hateful-bandwagons isn’t a source of social credit.

PotatoesFall ,

Could we, without relentless attention-whoring, stop inventing problems that don’t exist?

Who tf is out there getting flak for ANY of these things? These are all perfectly accepted

usernamesaredifficul ,

there was a whole thing a while back saying absolutely vile shit about women that like pumpkin spice lattes

Zuzak ,

Yeah we had a wrecker a while back go full mask-off over pumpkin spice lattes calling them “whore coffee” and making death threats over it. Granted that might just be that one wierdo but hating on PSLs and other “basic” stuff at least was a thing a while back.

usernamesaredifficul ,

yeah that was weird

robot_dog_with_gun ,

i’m suspicious of anything that gains mainstream popularity in capitalist society.

there’s probably some way to connect liking the bland inoffensive default thing more than any niche interesting alternative to white supremacy and cis-heteronormativity but i’m too tired or not high enough to do it

Zuzak , (edited )

There’s probably a way to link literally any given thing to white supremacy and cis heteronormativity provided you don’t care how tenuous the connection is. Hating mainstream stuff when you don’t have an actual reason is just a way to make yourself feel superior. Hell, I could probably draw a more compelling connection from hating basic stuff to white supremacy and cis heteronormativity than you could for the reverse.

The infamous Drones are Queer paper is probably a good example of how it’s possible to draw a connection between virtually any two things if you try hard enough. Or just tell Chat GPT to write an explanation on how X and Y are linked for any two things.

There’s a website that draws “spurious correlations” between random things. There’s a correlation between the number of people who drowned by falling into a pool per year and how many films Nicolas Cage appeared in per year. Same with the per capita cheese consumption and number of people who died by becoming tangled by their bedsheets.

moormaan ,

We should. Yes please.

Ignacio ,

Wishful thinking, unfortunately.

Yee Avocado is expensive for a reason. Takes an absurd amount of water to grow.

Tenthrow ,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

Requiring a lot of water to grow something isn’t inherently problematic. The issues only come in when wealthy landowners steal drinking water during drought conditions to grow things. When it comes down to brass tacks, the cartels are more of an issue with avocado production (and actually one of the bigger reasons they are expensive).

All that to say, it doesn’t really matter in the end. If you enjoy your avocados and can afford them, have at it. We’re all doomed to be crushed under the cloven hooves of our billionaire gods anyway.

Nowhere near as bad as meat and dairy. So you’re vegan, right? Otherwise saying this would be hypocritical.

Gigan ,
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

It’s possible for two things to be bad

MrScottyTay ,

But if you still eat meat and die on the hill of avocados being bad for the planet then you’re a hypocrite. If you truly believe both things can be bad then practice what you preach brother

Sotuanduso ,

Actually, stealing is bad, so I can get away with murdering as many people as I want because at least I’m not a thief.

Maeve ,

Circle of life?

theneverfox ,

Avocados also tend to be grown in places where water is less available… If we all became vegetarians tomorrow, avocados would still be a big problem

Well I’m pointing out that I was responding to something actually mentioned in the post

@BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one avatar

If I don’t eat beef, there’s not much incentive to create better alternatives so that I don’t.

max ,

Lmao are you unironically saying you’re doing the right thing eating beef because you’re creating incentive to make you stop eating beef?
