>Did you ever even try it? Don't judge food before you try it!

Who hasn’t tried pineapple on pizza. Sweet (especially something as ridiculously sweet as pineapple) always overpowers savory so it’s all you end up tasting. Of all the variations of this cuisine this one’s hands down the worst. But I know you’re just trolling me and pretending to like it so it’s a moo point anyway

Reply to ELI5-What is the fibonacci sequence? by amsdys

Not a lot of ELI5 answers, but some good history.

The Fibonacci sequence is a set of numbers with a distinct pattern (explained in other comments). What is important is that the ratio of one number to the one following it is always the same. (The second is always 1.618 times larger than the previous). That is called the golden ratio, and it is the golden ratio that is seen everywhere in nature.

If you’ve seen the image of rectangles that form into a spiral, this is what it means:

The small rectangle has sides with that exact ratio. The long side of that rectangle is the short side of the next, and that rectangle uses the golden ratio. The long side of that one is the short side of the next…. And so on. This creates a spiral pattern, and that pattern, in that ratio, happens all the time. Flowers, tree leaves, and animal shells for example. Always 1.618 times bigger than the previous part.

The number isn’t magical. 1.618 isn’t special. There is just a natural order to things, and we created a numerical system that happens to measure that order at that number.

Reply to comment by bolanrox in TIL that New Orleans chicory coffee mix started during the American Civil War when Union naval blockades cut off the port of New Orleans bringing coffee shipments to a halt. New Orleanians looking for their coffee fix began mixing chicory with coffee to stretch out the supply. by GeoJono

Thai coffee is really interesting: it's usually not just coffee. The most common brand I see — this one — is actually only 50% coffee, along with roasted corn and soy. Other common ingredients are sesame, cardamom, and rice. So, similar to Viet coffee in that it's sort of filled out with lesser ingredients, but the flavor profile of Thai coffee is pretty unique

Reply to To life insurance or not? by Lessings_Elated

There are two reasons to buy life insurance. The main one is that you want to provide for someone financially in the event that you die. That doesn't seem to be the case here.

The other is that it can help with some niche situations. It can be used for tax deferrals. It can also be used to protect assets from creditors. But it is an expensive way to do those things and is generally only appropriate for very wealthy people.

But the commissions on selling life insurance, especially whole life, are very high and so insurance salespeople will jump through all sorts of hoops to convince you that you need it.
