    I love how this is so much more triggering than just the text implies. 4:3 screen, christmas lights that would kill every ounce of contrast in the picture, one wrong move and the pizza gets either wool stuck on it or it falls to the ground. Not to mention that it’s too far away to actually eat.

      That’s without the fact that Peperoni grease can seep through the cardboard and into the white sheets.

            It depends on the toppings used and how it was prepared.
            Frozen pizza reheated will apparently be much more greasy than what I’m used to, either freshly made or self made, the latter containing basically no oil/fat that could be greasy.
            Also, you’re probably used to tons of cheese and pepperoni, while I often prefer just a little bit of pepperoni, and much more ham, bacon, jalapenos and just enough cheese to not see everything fully.
            And yes, pizza from many restaurants are much more greasy than self made ones, but not greasy enough to actually get through carton designed to isolate and contain anything inside.

              That’s true, I shouldn’t imply that pizza can’t be great without being so greasy hah, it depends on the style. I usually only have just cheese and sauce, the area I’m at is known for it’s local pizza and it is usually very greasy, probably because they use quite a hefty amount of cheese, but it’s excellent.

      Table/chair slightly blocking screen, and I suspect there is some sort of fuckery going on with how that pizza is cut but I’m can’t tell because my hands are literally shaking at this point

      could’ve gone even worse with the screen. 1:1 and stretch to fit instead of crop to fit xD

      If that’s supposed to be a projected image, then it should be washed out af with the room being so lit up. The darkest colors should only be about as dark as the white wall behind it.

      There’s also the bare pizza box in the stark white comforter. You know that cardboard isn’t going to keep all that pepperoni pizza oil in for very long.

    Look. All of you people complaining about the 4:3 screen.

    THAT’S WHAT WE HAD IN THE 80S AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY.

    Stupid kids. Get off my lawn.

    I see you’re watching the holodeck episode where Captain Reynolds battles Captain Picard for Kirk’s seat on the flight deck.

    Excellent episode.!

    I love that scene… Kirk is like,“you are not my father” and then Vader is like “EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!” and Amidala turns out to be his grandma

        And we can all at least understand when it doesn’t get closed after someone takes a slice. Maybe the last person thought someone else was going to get a slice? But a box remaining open with zero slices removed… that’s not human.

          The next person has to be ready to reach for the slice. I don’t care if someone is intending to get a slice. The slice is being grabbed or the box is closed. It’s like holding the door open. If it shuts before you’re in reaching distance, your timing wasnt correct. It’s never rude to shut the box, it always courtesy. This is serious pizza business, and right now our world runs on pizza time. Guess what? It’s pizza time.

      • Leaving the box open results in my cat suddenly going faster than the speed of light and stealing as much as he can from the pizza.

        Or even if I leave the box closed and unattended for a minute there will be a huge hole gnawed through the cardboard…

    You really want to see the world burn. This is like the episode in ENT where captain Archer for the first time after the time war saw a Dalek and Rose is like “what is this” and Archer is like “I thought they were gone for good” or something. Don’t hate me if I got the quote wrong.

      Don’t hate me if I got the quote wrong.

      I believe what Captain Archer actually said there was “The zone we will be venturing into is one of danger.”

    What exactly is going on in the background of the Death Star there? Are those windows? People working late night office jobs? Are those just a bunch of lit panels going beep-boop? Is there some technician who glances up at them occasionally and goes “Ah, shit. The samouflange (what the fuck is a samouflange?) is out on the megacondenser! Rob, could you please run a parse on panel A5D and get that boy blinky again?” and Rob is like, “You’re right, Michael. I hardly noticed.”

    EDIT: Apparently it’s Cloud City. I recall this now. I’m honestly shocked that everyone has been so civil about this.

      It’s inside a ventilation shaft in Cloud City. Maybe people have houses that look out into the ventilation shaft, because it’s at least better than no windows at all?

      To me, it looks like panel lights on a computer / machine. But, why have those indicator lights in a ventilation shaft where you only rarely have people?
