Hey, my first repost on lemmy! This is shamelessly lifted from r/pizza crimes a few weeks ago. And the top comment there was about gerrymandering too! This is a big moment for me, I think I'm officially a lemmian.
This reminds me of staying overnight at a friend's house when I was a kid, and discovering a slightly sinister family habit, like cutting pizza with scissors or everyone drinking hot tea with dinner
I cut my pizza with kitchen scissors. My knives aren’t sharp enough and I don’t have to transfer it to a cutting board. And drinking warm water with a meal aids in digestion :D but I don’t do that lol
Nothing wrong with either, though I can't speak for Italian pizza cutting techniques.
It's still pretty unusual to offer a 10yo a brew with his roast dinner. I'm sure my friends found it strange that we drank coffee before bed, but there you go.

I saw someone else call this "gerrymandered pizza".

Fucking gerrymandering

At this point they're just gerrymandering the pizza
ActuallyRuben@actuallyruben.nl · 7 pts · 3y
Maybe they tried to have each piece contain 5 slices, but gave up halfway through
Stijn@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz · 5 pts · 3y
The should make one big pepperoni that fits the pizza. No more pepperoni pizza issues.
ActuallyRuben@actuallyruben.nl · 1 pts · 3y
But then you still need to cut the pepperoni tho
Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I disagree. It just makes cutting easier. One pepperoni per piece. It's all one piece.
Otome-chan@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y
this was my thought as well. I imagine they probably intentionally did it like that just to be infuriating.

Right?!?! What kind of decision making went on here

Current preferred term is "Lemming".
solstice@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y
Dang so obvious how did I miss that?
Lemming is kind of derogatory though no? Like someone who will follow the group think and do whatever the hive says - oh ok nm yeah that works ;)
Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I prefer "Lemurs" actually.

No judgement here :D

It's that small moment when you realise other people do things differently.
I remember being a bit horrified with the amount of handling that goes on with pizza+scissors. Guess I was considered one of the family...
Ashhwaghandaa@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
LOL they initiated you!
TurtleTourParty@midwest.social · 2 pts · 3y
I've been to pizzarias in Italy that cut with scissors...
And what's wrong with hot tea with dinner?
monkeytennis@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Cutting a pepperoni pizza is always a lose-lose situation

Bless it's heart

I'm okay with it.

Hey, someone needs to deliver content... it's not like I have anything original to offer 🙃
JesusTheCarpenter@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
I agree, 70% of Reddit memes, pics, etc are stolen anyways. I don't see a reason we couldn't steal some of it to boost our content.
Simplificity@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
Actually better to do it, before the good contents are lost in Redd** forever

This is madness! 😂

Necessary evil.
abcd@feddit.de · 3 pts · 3y
If you look closely the salami pieces are cut the same way. This is a pizza fractal!
LirAlethea@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 3y
32 pepperoni pieces, divided into 8 slices. Is it just me or is it even more infuriating that those slices are not evenly sized?
dimspace@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I cannot fathom why they did not do what normal people do and rearrange the pepperoni prior to putting it in the oven.
Felemuso@feddit.de · 1 pts · 3y

But the pepperoni is already cut. It's already too late!
