Poll & discussion: UFOs / UAPs / Other Intelligent Life in Universe
- Thread starter StevenEleven
- Start date
If anyone in the nordics could give me directions to a decent deep dish joint, please let me know. I'm craving something other than pineapple- and curry pizza.
UFOs as in aliens most likely exist somewhere in the universe, but is not very likely that they've ever visited this boring rock. I find it even more doubtful that any organisms dabble in interstellar travel in the Star Trek and Star Wars sense. Space is vast.
I don't blame you! When I lived in Europe (three different countries) I learned if I wanted a decent Chicago-style deep dish pizza I would have to make it myself. So you are welcome any time to come to Chicago where, in fact, I still make the very best one. And I would be happy to make one for you and any denizen of ASR. (As long as you Like my posts, of course
)
It's not YOUR pizza. But too bad for you.
It is based, in fact, on a special Genovese pizza pie made specifically for Easter. Did you ever wonder why there is a term, "pizza pie", as in, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore" ? So, now you've learned something. It's more authentic than a lot of other "pizzas". https://www.savoringitaly.com/italian-easter-meat-pie-pizza-gaina/What makes a pizza a pizza? I am fairly sure that a lot of italians are pained by discussions around "regular" pizzas, no need to even mention the pineapple based toppings.
Preparations complete, just gotta wait for this global pandemic to blow over. Really though, visiting the US is on my bucket list - there's so much to see and experience.I don't blame you!

... Unlike most of the barren rocks in the universe. There's this game called Elite: Dangerous. One of its strengths is that it highlights how boring 99.99% of the universe is. It's really hard to grasp how vast the boredom is.

Face plant... Or tentacle head-wrap.

There is an Italian institute that defines pizza. Pretty sure it's in Napoli.
That trumps some guy's web site medium
Believe it or not, I actually had to document this question for a legal issue. Long story. Suffice to say, the distinction between flatbread and "pizza" originally required a baked wheat base to be topped with both cheese and tomato (fresh or sauce). It was thought the first documented pizza was the famous Pizza Margherita di Napoli of 1889, but turns out it is a hundred years older than that.
Since then, the term has stretched to include the baked wheat base + cheese + some other sauce (such as an alfredo sauce). But a baked cracker with cheese is not pizza and bread topped with sauce is not pizza.
Maybe this one? But it's fairly recent, not "official", and only relates to one kind of pizza. https://www.pizzanapoletana.org/en/ricetta_pizza_napoletana
These guys? They seem fairly liberal, I mean, pineapple isn't from the Campania region, but it doesn't have to be right?
Wow, I applaud your determination. So, in this legal case would something like a microwave pan pizza be considered a pizza?
I'm afraid so.
Now you know what is at the center of every black hole: A stuffed Chicago pizza!

Think the alien pizza discussion is another thread...

Which do they prefer , J.S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky Guan Pinghu, Blind Willie Johnson, Chuck Berry, Kesarbai Kerkar, Valya Balkanska, Laurie Spiegel, or maybe Azerbaijani folk music? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contents_of_the_Voyager_Golden_Record
or perhaps they are still wondering why we sent them a scratchy record? Or maybe they are analog addicts.

What about the "Dark Forest Principle" popularized by Chinese science fiction author Liu Cixin in a novel of the same name? The idea here is that other civilizations exist and they are listening, but they don't wish to be detected for reasons of self-preservation. And if they did detect us, they wouldn't be bringing pizza.
But my own hunch is that even if the universe has been seeded with the stuff of life and it flourishes on countless planets, technological, space-faring civilizations may be exceedingly rare: Earth itself has experienced repeated mass-extinction events, and we're currently in the midst of the 6th that we know of.
