Hello, ICoJ? I’d like to report a warcrime…
I once used to watch TMNT as a kid and sometimes the show mentions what were then considered the strangest pizza toppings ever sold.
There do exist Nutella “pizza” but I consider them to be more pastry than pizza.
This is Pizza Africana, which you’ll find on Swedish pizza menus as surely as you’ll find Quattro Formaggi or Hawaiian.
It’s ok not to want to try it, but I wish that in 2026 we could stop hating on people who do things that make them happy without affect us.

Old wonders: I wonder how they did that?
New wonders: I wonder why they did that?
Banana curry pizza is actually really good. But I’d still opt to not have pineapple on it.
Have you people even seen a pizza menu in Japan?
It’s a wonder alright. I wonder why anyone would voluntarily eat it
Are those kiwi slices or mini nuclear reactor symbols?
I thought they were banana slices. Kiwi would be even more cursed, which I didn’t think was possible. Either way, kind of it to warn us of the danger it poses! Biohazard symbols might be more appropriate though.
Everything is just built to be the most utilitarian, and more importantly cheaply built, they can be now. Something that kicked off the lack of beauty in our architecture was a paper written by Adolf Loos in around 1913 called “Ornament and Crime”. Naturally, the arguments he made were nearly all rooted in racism
Loos introduced a sense of the “immorality” of ornament, describing it as “degenerate”, its suppression as necessary for regulating modern society. He took as one of his examples the tattooing of the “Papuan” and the intense surface decorations of the objects about him—Loos says that, in the eyes of western culture, the Papuan has not evolved to the moral and civilized circumstances of modern man, who, should he tattoo himself, would either be considered a criminal or a degenerate.
The tattoo comparison has kind of aged like milk, considering the popularity of tattoos nowadays.
And though the average building may be a drab box these days, we have built towers that are so tall, that 1 km in height no longer seems like pure science fiction. If those super tall skyscrapers don’t count as wonders, what would?
Looks terrible, I’d try it.
You’d need to try it just to say you did. You’d spend your whole life wondering otherwise.
It’s pretty self evident that we have not, and we are striving to continue to do so. One must simply pull themselves out of their misanthropic worldview to see it.
We build probably hundreds of buildings every year that would have been a world wonder if they had been built a thousand years ago.
I wonder why anyone would put this in their mouth.
same, they are going to break their jaw trying to bite the great wall of china
Because they like it?
Blasphemy. If there were a hell, you’d burn in it.
