Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Who orders pizza for single meals? Pizza is perfectly good reheated and can be really economical if you eat it for dinner a couple nights a week, or even take it to work and nuke it. Oven to 375, put it on a baking sheet without letting it preheat, take out in 8-10 minutes. It's like it was just delivered, probably even better. Lasts about 5 days in the fridge. Goons find the weirdest poo poo to freak out about.

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
Pizza is an exercise in how to preserve food. It's salty, greasy, low moisture food, cooked to a very high temperature and put into a container that absorbs moisture. If you were so inclined, you could just leave it in the box for a few days, unrefrigerated. I wouldn't advise it, but in theory it would be perfectly safe to eat

Unless you get real pizza with vegetables and fresh mozzarella, that is

Also the price per unit area of pizza gets cheaper as the diameter increases. You get more value from an 18" pizza than you would a 12":

I always consider this when ordering pizza. I weigh 824 pounds. I don't think those two things are related.

I do this all the time. Due to the pi*r^2 calculation, above, it generally takes me several days to eat all the pizza. It sits in the box on the counter until gone. It has not killed me, so far.

This article makes me irrationally angry.

quote:

One day last year, an engineer and I went to a pizza place for lunch. The engineer told me he wasn't very hungry, but he said he was going to get the 12-inch medium instead of the 8-inch small — because the medium was more than twice as big as the small, and it cost only a little bit more. This sort of blew my mind.
Wow! Mind blowing! Fuuuucckckc ck nsjd :suicide:

There's pretty much no wrong way to reheat pizza. You can be all fancy and try to restore it to its original condition or you can just microwave it and it will be great anyway because it's still pizza.

If you have indoor pets, everything in your house is inevitably going to get covered in their shed hair anyway. You'll get used to it and stop noticing, and you'll think that vacuuming once a week (or however often) is solving the problem, but any time non-pet-owners visit your house they're just seeing all the pet hair everywhere.

Totally normal scenarios that result in leftover pizza, much to the shock and distaste of foreign goons:

- Order pizza for yourself, eat part of it, save the rest for later
- Order large pizza for your family because it's $1 more expensive and twice the size of a medium
- Order several pizzas for a group of friends, estimate high
- Attend a work meeting that orders pizza for lunch and estimates way too high, take some home for dinner

There's a difference between ordering pizza for dinner and having some left over for breakfast, and deliberately ordering more pizzas than you need so you can eat it for dinner another day as well though.

If you put lacquer on it, that could work. But that is more of an art project than a lifehack. Course the lifehack doesn't say that, so enjoy the world's stickiest plate.

The hack actually tells you to break up the plate and use it as mints again after, so lacquer would be a bad idea. Either way those are going to be the shittiest mints imaginable, what with the fingerprints, smears and crumbs from whatever was on the "plate".

Don't do this. In general you should never put feather/down pillows, duvets or comforters out in the sun. It'll dry out the down and make the pillow even shittier, flatter and generally void your warrenty if you have expensive beddings.

True lifehack: If you must dry it outside, do it in the shade (but not while it's raining !). And if you use a dryer, throw a few clean tennis balls or plastic balls in the dryer to shake the duvet or pillow properly. It'll be fluffy again. :kimchi:
