Imo if they had been born in this time they would face the same issues.
Similarly if you had been born back then I doubt you would struggle very much. You’d probably become a shaman.
The point I’m trying to make is it’s societies fault for allowing pizza places to exist that don’t have websites.
What you can not forget is that literally the only animal that is truly threatening to humans, are other humans. After becoming smarter, over tens if not hundreds of thousands of years, the only thing we had to fear was other people.
Be kind to yourself, you’re afraid of the right thing in general. Sure, a phone call won’t kill you, and it’d be good if you could do it without fear, but it’s understandable that you can’t.
I often see people commenting stuff like “I needed to hear that” and I’m usually confused because it’s often the blandest of feel-good toxic positivity fortune cookie nonsense from a random stranger. THIS, this right here, has actually made me feel better because yes, this IS something I needed to hear, as in it’s a perspective I hadn’t considered and that makes a bit more sense of something that I have trouble explaining.
So thank you.

Precision time is by far one of the worst things humans have invented for use by wider society.
Its definitely useful for things like science, but humans aren’t made to live with that level of precision and planning. Its difficult and stressful to abide by clock time.
What we should be using, if we were halfway smart about existing, is approximate time. Chime the hour and nothing else. If you really want clocks, only have them tick every 10 minutes. Embrace being somewhere “between x time and y time”
In college, I had a professor from Spain, who said that people there often don’t really mind a bit of casual lateness (up to 15 min) because thats just how the culture worked, and it had the effect of being less stressful, without really being a detriment because it was normalized. Now idk if thats true, or even entirely true, but it does make perfect sense.
“God it would be so nice to be able to live without mandatory social interaction piled on top of basic labor” but also “Holy shit would my ass be dead in pre-agricultural society”
Let me brawl a wolf barehanded for my food instead of enduring small talk at the checkout, what happens happens 😭
The movie ‘The Net’ came out in 1995.
Everyone in the audience gasped in horror when they realized poor Sandra Bullock was so crazy that she had to order her pizzas online.
If I could have ordered Dominos off the internet in 1995, I would have done it. Only thing stopping me was there was no Dominos within delivery distance, and I was 10.
This is one reason I hate humanity.
There’s a pizza parlor near me. Family owned and operated. It’s consistently voted one of the best pizza places in New York City. There’s a Domino’s across the street from them.
In a sane world the Domino’s would have gone out of business years ago.
I prefer local, real pizzaria pizza; but a local place is gonna be like $30. Dominos is $10.
That’s why I get Little Ceaser’s for $6.
The good place isn’t that much more expensive.
If I recall correctly there were some online pizza options in the mid to late 90s. It would go to corporate HQ and they would manually fax your order to the closest restaurant.
Online ordering since 2015
Only 2015?
I definitely remember ordering a pizza online back in like 2005
