    I’m sure you have cheese pizzas and they’re distinct from quattro formaggi. I’m not saying there isn’t. I’m just answering your question. As a non-american, the only pizza with cheese is quattro formaggi. All the others are just “pizza”. Because all the others have tomato sauce + mozzarella as a base. Except supermarket pizzas which sometimes have cheaper cheeses on them. But they’re still just pizza, not “cheese pizza”.




  • Because it’s pedantry. I checked 4 dictionaries for america or american. Or just type “america” on whatever search engine First thing for 3/4 dictionaries was the US or its citizens. If anyone ever means to refer to the continent they usually say north/south America or “the Americas”.

    Go to any country other than the US and ask a local “Are you american?”. They’re all gonna say the same thing. “No, I’m Mexican/Canadian/Chilean/etc.”

    Whenever a word has multiple meanings, you’re supposed to use context to figure out which one is being used. Well, the article title mentions the US government. It’s also a very common phrase with a well established meaning. Check out Green day’s american idiot, for example.

    Really doesn’t take a genius to understand what op meant.


  • Nope. For metal the suggestions are like you said. Either generic or limited. I usually just look up “more bands like x” and use the results. Usually a mix of last.fm + reddit + other sites. Another thing I’d do is use rateyourmusic and browse by genre. For Symphonic metal, for example. Sometimes there’s genre specific sites. Like the progarchives where I go as well from time to time. Oh, many subreddits also have discord servers so maybe look into that as well.



  • Exactly, you’re right. Because it’s all about influence and inspiration, that’s exactly why the Beatles are considered so important and mc5 less so. Because Helter skelter came out in 68 and tons of people listened to it. MC5 were obviously important but their first concert outside of Michigan was also in 68 and their first album wasn’t out until 1970. Only a live album and some singles before that. So they’re a lot less influential no matter how you look at it. The first metal song could’ve actually been written in 1961 but if it’s some demo that only 5 people have ever listened to, it doesn’t really matter, does it? (Unless one of those 5 people was Tony Iommi or something xD)

    I’m not a Beatles fan, but too many musicians credit them as inspirations so they were obviously important.



  • Depends on the location and the age of the establishment. Been to some places that had more and I’m sure they were real.

    Then there’s places that went viral and have an insane amount of reviews. Like Tonnarello in Rome . And based on the amount of people that they serve and the queue that’s waiting to eat, I believe the number is legit. Went to see what the fuss was about and we were not disappointed, actually.

    Pretty sure the defining quality is the “shit” part of the name. Aka low quality/effort.

    Shitposts don’t need to be funny or interesting. Look at the whole corn, jeans or beans posts.

    And judging by the amount of both praise and hate she’s getting, I’d argue that Violet is one of the best shitposters in this community.
