pi of Pie (with ZZ toppings) is meme squared

VikingHippie, to lemmyshitpost in The more you know

This is the absolute ONLY case where it’s acceptable to call a pizza a pie. That being said, well done to the memesmith 😀

But- and hear me out- what if you are a stereotypical Italian chef with a big mustache and a chef’s hat and you send it out to the customer? You gotta say, “at’s-a good pizza pie!”

victorz,

A deep dish pizza and a calzone are both technically pies as far as I can tell. They have a surrounding casing of crust. A flat pizza would not be a pie.

Agreed. This guy pies.

victorz,

I’m pieing all over you mfs. 😎🍕

VikingHippie,

Reminds me of this Melissa Cherry classic from The Onion Movie 😂

TheRealKuni,

This is the absolute ONLY case where it’s acceptable to call a pizza a pie.

Never had deep dish, I take it?

Iron_Lynx,

Not OP, but I never have, and not sure if I can get any in my area, but I would like to try it some day.

TheRealKuni,

Get to Chicago, and don’t shy away from spinach. That shit’s delicious. I’m a fan of Giordano’s, but there’s a lot of valid argument about who does it best.

Iron_Lynx,

Wrong side of the ocean. I’m not gonna take an eight hour flight to try out a pizza that’s more of a casserole.

TheRealKuni,

Oh yeah, definitely not worth it. 😂

VikingHippie, (edited )

That’s not really pizza OR pie…

OneWomanCreamTeam,

It’s kinda like a delicious pizza cake.

victorz,

It’s actually a pie though. It has a surrounding crust casing as well as a filling, which qualifies it as a pie according to Wikipedia.

VikingHippie,

Wikipedia is sometimes wrong, though. This is the relevant definition:

A baked food composed of a pastry shell **filled with **fruit, meat, cheese, or other ingredients, and usually covered with a pastry crust

Meaning that a flat pizza wouldn’t count (those are toppings, not fillings) but a calzone technically would.

victorz,

Read further. The page also says the crust can be on the bottom and the filling on top/inside, as well as crust on top, filling underneath, or both (calzone). So a deep dish pizza is a pie, technically.

VikingHippie, (edited )

The page also says the crust can be on the bottom and the filling on top

This is “literally can mean figuratively” level lunacy. If it doesn’t have FILLINGS rather than TOPPINGS, it’s simply not a pie.

Next you’re gonna tell me that a hotdog is a sandwich (please fucking don’t!)

victorz, (edited )

I don’t really know what you’re referring to at this point.

I’m saying:

  • A regular flat pizza is not a pie. It does not have a casing, and the “filling” is a topping, as you say.
  • A (Chicago-style) deep-dish pizza is a pie (more-so than a pizza in my opinion but whatever) because it has a bottom crust with filling on top (a pie according to Wikipedia). That’s not lunacy. It’s right there on Wikipedia, with even a link to Chicago-style deep-dish pizza.
  • A calzone is a pie because it has crust both on top and on the bottom (surrounding the filling), as well as filling inside.

This is not “lunacy”. It’s just reading a definition and interpreting things to fit the definition. 🤷‍♂️ If you think that’s lunacy I’d hate to tell you about Pluto. A pie with crust on the bottom is very common. Meat pies, and pastry pies, among many others. Crust on bottom is common, crust on top is common. Crust all around is common… Not lunacy.

I’m going to refrain from talking about hotdogs, because I’ve yet to look up the definition of a sandwich, but I’d rather not at this point lol.

VikingHippie,

Researching Chicago style deep dish pizzas, it would seem that I wasn’t aware of just HOW deep they are. Yep, that’s a pie. I think we’re in full agreement, actually!

victorz,

Haha yeah they look ridiculously deep. I can’t imagine how they wouldn’t be kind of soggy with all that filling but I guess it works. Seems to be popular, eh. Would love to try a slice.

VikingHippie,

I imagine a single or at most two slices would be a meal for an average adult, so maybe I’d actually get full from eating only one completele dish pizza 😂

victorz,

I take it you aren’t an average adult then 😅

VikingHippie, (edited )

Nah, I was on Zyprexa once. It completely removed my ability to feel full while I was on it, which in turn made my stomach capacity expand a lot from overeating.

So yeah, takes an abnormal amount of food for me to feel full 😔

victorz,

Oh gosh, that’s very unfortunate. Sorry that happened to you, friend, as well whatever the cause was for you to have to take that specific medication. Sounds tough.

Hope you are better and can manage your diet at this point!

VikingHippie,

Thanks! It’s been very tough to manage since then, but with the help of my GP, I’m dealing with it and things are definitely improving 🙂

bitwaba,

If it’s not covered and doesn’t have FILLINGS rather than TOPPINGS, it’s simply not a pie.

Where does that put key lime pie and lemon meringue pie? Or pumpkin pie and pecan pie? Are they not pies because they’re not covered?

VikingHippie,

Ok, I may have gotten a bit* carried away with the “covered” requirement, but toppings are still not fillings and it’s not a pie if it doesn’t have filling(s).

*extremely, ridiculously

victorz,

Pies don’t have to be covered, no. They can have their casing on the bottom.

bitwaba,

I understand that. That’s why I was asking the person that made the claim to clarify.

TIL Pizza is a cylinder

Evil_Shrubbery,

Like a round toast with stuff on it

victorz,

Let’s face it, pizza is an open face sandwich.

Evil_Shrubbery,

(I like that my first thought reading that was like a comic/meme of intentionally faceplanting (your face) into the middle of a (hot) pizza)

victorz,

lol, I supposed it should really be “open-faced sandwich”. My mistake! 😁

Evil_Shrubbery,

Rofl, I genuinely didn’t even notice your typo, I was just entertaining myself … or maybe I have unresolved pizza issues :|

Iron_Lynx,

If we’re gonna insist to go morphological, then it depends on the edge crust.

If we count that as added thickness, a pizza is a quiche or a pie. I’m pretty sure Chicago Deep Dish would classify as such unambiguously.

If we don’t count the edge as upstanding, a pizza is toast.

victorz,

I’m not insisting, just joking 😅

PetteriSkaffari,

Why is a sandwich pizza not a thing already? Like a calzone, but without folding anything.

victorz,

Curiously, today I had a “kebab roll” (“kebabrulle”) which is a big thing in Sweden. Essentially a kebab pizza with a salad on top, some onion pieces, and dressing, rolled up into a roll, wrapped in tinfoil.

Very good, very heavy meal.

It’s a very flat cylinder, but a cylinder nevertheless.

ericisshort,

Cylinders prefer to be called thicc circles.

    Chocolate covered espresso beans. Think peanut M&M’s with a caffeine center. The only candy I’ve ever heard of that can actually cause a medical emergency.

    funnystuff97,

    my absolute dumb ass, eating a bunch of those, enjoying the coffee flavored chocolates at 9 PM, wondering why my heart was racing and being unable to sleep at 3 AM

    Where is the red spot on the toilet?

    MotoAsh, to lemmyshitpost in The more you know

    The parenthesis are pointless. Exponents go first, but multiplication doesn’t care about order, and there is only multiplication going on.

    victorz,

    The parentheses are for clarification and thus not pointless. Know your audience. 🙂👍

    MotoAsh,

    Clarification of what? The joke doesn’t need them and neither does the math.

    victorz,

    That Z² is equal to ZZ.

    If we didn’t use parentheses in primary school, because “the math doesn’t need it”, then it would be quite unnecessarily hard on the students’ learning. Maybe it’s a joke someone made for a class?

    MotoAsh, (edited )

    No, it is syntactically unnecessary.

    I understand your point, and agree when it comes to programming with things like scope, typing, semicolons, etc, etc… Many concepts are easier to learn when enforced through syntax.

    Though if someone gets cofused on the transitive nature of multiplication with a single simple equation … They aren’t learning math.

    victorz,

    How old are you? Do you remember how stupid we were when we were like, 12? How learning new shit really required over clarification ad nauseam seen through our eyes now? Teachers are really patient people.

    Anyway, this is just a joke post. Get over it. 🙂 Laugh at the funny. Instead of sucking it out of us. ❤️ The parentheses help make it look like the math is more advanced than it really is. It’s fine. Shhh. No no. Shhh. It’s supposed to be funny.

    The a is for altura, which is height in Spanish and therefore probably also in Italian

    tjsauce, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in The more you know

    It would be 2PiZA, since ZZ is Z squared

    EDIT: my bad, I was thinking of circumference

    Octopus1348,
    @Octopus1348@lemy.lol avatar

    2 Pizza? That’s even better.

    FlyingSquid,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s a 2-for-1 deal! Like Little Caesar’s! Pizza pizza.

    Crozekiel,

    Wat? It is supposed to be squared though…

    reattach,

    That would be the surface area of the crust, not the volume

    victorz,

    How does that work out? It doesn’t take into account how large the crust is in relation to the rest of the pizza.

    reattach,

    Sorry, the surface area of the “vertical” side of the crust, not including the top or bottom surfaces.

    victorz,

    Still not right, I think. That would be 2πZ, not 2πZa, right?

    reattach,

    No, you need to include the height of the cylinder (a). Imagine a deep dish pizza (big a) versus a thin crust (small a) - the sides of the deep dish pizza have more area. Your formula returns the circumference of the pizza.

    If you’re interested in dimensional analysis (and why wouldn’t you be?) the formula you proposed doesn’t have enough length units. It would return a value of length (like inches, or cm) not area (like square inches or square cm).

    victorz,

    Oh gosh, my mistake. Had just woken up.

    This is genius.

    xor,

    the z should be lower case

    victorz,

    Yeah Z is the set of integers. Or a random variable. Or something. I dunno, it’s been a while.

    xor,

    right, capital letters are usually some predefined set…

    Dude am typing this on my neighbors wifi XD. Btw they left the 5ghz band public so have been using it for the past 1 year or so. Lol its quite fast too!

    user224,
    @user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    I’ve been doing that for 6 years when I didn’t have internet connection. I was 8 when I got a first smart device, Android tablet. One of the first things I tried was connecting to Wi-Fi of all neighbors. 2 of them had the ultra-secure password “12345678”. I remember the first website I visited was Wikipedia.
    However, I have tried to not spend too much data. I only watched videos in low quality (240p) and browsed the web. For downloading large files (which I considered anything above 50MB at the time) I’ve used public networks. Usually at the bus station or a nearby pub.
    Sometime later I got access to even more Wi-Fi networks using the convenient “WPS WPA Tester” app. Like a third of all networks used one of the default PINs.
