“You can also add about 1/8 cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness.”
threaded - newest
Thing is, if it’s non toxic, then it’s possibly safe. Maybe not pleasant, but not poisonous. Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.
Wonder how long it’ll be before we get suggestions about eating detergent capsules or drinking bleach to cure covid.
Training your AI on Reddit was never a good idea though, you just have to look at all the crap on there to realise that. Let’s just hope they didn’t use Facebook as well, or worse, Quora!
don’t worry, they’re already using The Onion
Blimus! I was (sort of) joking ;-)
This is like the modern equivalent of the encyclopedia that added wrong “facts” to prove the makers of Trivial Pursuit infringed on their copyright.
Non-toxic glue would be starch or gelatine - both used as base of some 'real glues', both with valid culinary use, including exactly this use case. We just don't call those 'glue' in this context.
This is America, our non-toxic glue is made from plastic (PVA). It is definitely not for food and also not starch or gelatine.
Also, things not designed for food use or human consumption don’t have to follow strict rules regarding their composition, and they’re not monitored.
Nobody is checking PVA glue for heavy metals or melamine or pesticides or any other number of things that will give your insides a bad day.
Nobody is issuing a recall if your bottle of glue ends up with ground up glass in it.
Because it’s not food, and it doesn’t matter, until you put half a cup of it in your pizza because Google told you it was a good idea.
Fuck you.
Pineapple contains an enzyme that dissolves flesh. When you eat raw pineapple, it eats you back. This is why your mouth goes kind of numb if you eat a lot of it.
However, with a little bit of heating the enzyme denatures and becomes nonfunctional. Thus, pineapple belongs on pizza.
Get back on your medication.
Seconded!
Fuck you.
Pineapple is a wondrous and resplendent fruit. Sullying it in a melted grease puddle is heresy. Pineapple deserves better than that.
Ham, pineapple, onions, green peppers, and jalapenos, no sauce. One of my favorite pizzas.
There’s enough goodness that you really don’t need pizza sauce on it, or at least I’ve never come across a sauce that works with pineapple. But the flavors and textures work well together.
All of that is incredible except the pineapple. It’s like eating Italian-sausage ice cream or something. Both are great separate, but certainly not together!
The worst pepper. Everything you add them to just ends up tasting like green bell pepper, which taste terrible. Yellow, Orange, or Red? Magnificent.
BBQ sauce works with pineapple pizza.
I would like to hear your opinion on crumbed, deep fried, pineapple rings. 🤔
For example : www.redrooster.com.au/menu/…/pineapple-fritter/
BLASPHEMY!
Only Brazilian steakhouses may serve cooked pineapple and it must be grilled! Death to the deep fried non believers!
Regardless of how wrong you are about pineapple on pizza (pepperoni and pineapple is always a solid choice), school glue is made from PVA, and while not toxic, is 100% not food. Pineapple is still food at the very least
It was a joke.
Yeah. We don’t do that here
I got that with the pineapple on pizza part, but the rest sure did not seem like it.
If this one is real then it’s already identifying deadly mushrooms as safe to eat
You need training material for negative prompts too.
Bacon, pineapple, and jalapenos. Ambrosia my brother.
Garbage in garbage out. We are falling back to the Yahoo categories curated view of the internet.
Google was really interesting when using organic link strength to indicate human curation. A web of trust if you will. But it’s been gamified to death at this point. LLMs have no capacity to reason, they just generate probable text.
Without a strongly curated training set it’s just going to become random noise… As we are seeing now.
Given the wave of Yahoo and MSN repost news articles, where they’re word for word the same as the original source, this is far too true.
The scraped AI generated SEO’d to hell tech sites that push their bullshit registry/driver/ram software overtook anything actually useful. It’s a sad state out there.
I wonder if that’s why Reddit data was chosen. Upvotes could be used as a signal for trust. What they forget is jokes comments often get upvotes.
It has always been only a signal for popularity. It’s the same on every other site with similar systems, including ones that have existed long before reddit. Even in the early 2000s, there were endless reminders that the upvote button was not meant as an “I agree” button, but that’s not how it’s being used.
Same as the link trust they used to use as a signal for trust. Again it was about popularity.
Trust here does not mean trustworthy, but rather higher likelihood to be answer that is sought. Calling it trust or authority as just marketing.
They may also have missed the part where unlocking past post for rewrite allowed APIcalipse refugees use shredder bots to destroy a good part of the comments that actually held any value, replace a bunch of others with nonsense, and kicking out invested human curators (mods) in favor of generic button pushers (“power mods”) opened the floodgates to random BS, propaganda, and misinformation.
Not only that, but trust from a self contained community is not the same as safe for the general public outside of context. Imagine asking for a summary of the Gamestop shortsqueeze and getting an answer from Superstonks.
You could also add toxic glue. It’s edible! Probably only once though.
…serious now. As I mentioned in another thread, I’m enjoying to watch Google’s “suicide by LLM”. Google is a hindrance to an open, free, and safe internet.
This is now going to be added to some LLM-generated answer in the probably near future.
Will the probability of it making it in compound if we all say it?
It also apples to mushrooms. All mushrooms are edible, some more than once.
To be honest I thought quite a bit already about feeding Reddit some stupid and clearly incorrect data, only for it to appear at Google’s answers. Harmless stuff, and clearly joking, like:
I won’t do it because I suck at coordinating people, and I’d need to interact with Reddit for that. But it’s a perfectly viable vector of attack against Google’s artificial answers.
Joke on them, I don’t read ads!
not even for the articles?
This future may not have much going for it, but there is at least the consolation that all the sarcastic bullshit I posted on reddit will be taken too literally by Google's machines and be given as earnest advice to its remaining users.
The future’s wasteland will be covered by bodies of web stalkers who were naive enough to get tricked by mid-2010s shitposts.
“Turns out they never used this to make their metal cutlery darker - who would have thought the ancients were so casually cruel?”
“After months of research we have concluded, that despite all their technical achievements, the ancients never figured out, what does the fox say”
“Today porf. Drobyshevsky is going to tell us about their newest work in XXI cent. anthropology - what is ‘streamer dent’ and why do we have such long heads 2300 years later?”
“Ass, coochie and the rich - dietary practices of homo sapiens in the age of over-production”

Lettuce is also better with some hair spray, tomato benefits from nail polish, and a couple hairpins can hold it all to a burger’s inner cardboard structure…
I fucking hate reddit so DAMN much !
