No, no, you could argue computers were just a fad in '00. You would have just been grotesquely ignorant and almost violently wrong :V

... it's worth noting that in '00, my local school system had something like one full time IT worker for the entire county (and I think maybe one part time one). So, uh. Yeah. Four or five schools, total IT support for all administration and classes, one person.

The person in question... he didn't have a computer at home. At all. I don't think he even had a TV. After work, guy was basically just, "Yeah, fuck technology." It was a thing.

Fold it up and eat it like a taco, that's how.

Some people are sadly uncultured enough to have never had proper pizza, so they don't even know that that's possible.

but fd, if you fold a slice of pizza all the sauce on top will run off

Either you're folding it in the wrong direction, you're not using enough cheese, or you're using WAY too much sauce.

[Lord Shonus]

Pizza that can be folded is an abomination anyway, why quibble over details.

[flabort]

But some would argue that so is pizza that can't be bent.
Checkmate, vegans.

Either you're folding it in the wrong direction, you're not using enough cheese, or you're using WAY too much sauce.

if you don't, in defiance of god and man, put the sauce atop the cheese, then the pizza will burn in the skillet in case i've been being too obtuse, here's the joke

i am probably like 100% terrible at cooking. cant even make a proper fried egg :v (that is, one that doesnt look like a scrambled egg, theyre edible alright)

Simplest thing in the world. Get a smallish skillet, spray with a bit of cooking spray or drop in a pat of butter (more if it's not a non-stick pan, less if it is). Get that up to medium heat, crack the egg in, put a lid over the skillet. Once the white's gone solid, flip it with a spatula and let it cook for no more than one minute more. Bam, one egg over medium with chewy, solid whites and a gooey yolk. Take it off faster for over easy (i.e. yolk everywhere once you pierce that fucker) or a little slower for a solid yolk.

That's like 5 minutes including prep, it's healthy, and with good eggs and a bit of pepper plenty tasty as well.

I mean, there's a lot of easy shit you can cook with nothing but a skillet and a spatula or wooden spoon, and a pot of some sort if you want rice/beans/pasta/lentils to put it over.

Angelhair spaghetti's even easier: bring a pot of water to a boil with the lid on, dump in however much you want with a handful of salt, turn it down to a simmer, and maybe five minutes later it's done. Toss it with a bit of olive oil, minced garlic, and pepper, or alternatively butter, salt, and pepper. Shit's easy as hell, cheap as dirt, filling, and a lot better than fast food.

Seriously, ask parental units about stuff that's easy to make. I guarantee they'll be happy about it if they aren't just miserable assholes in general. That, and knowing how to cook well is one of the easiest ways to secure a SO or a place in a circle of friends.

You were. But "pizza" and "skillet" in the same sentence makes me want to physically harm something. 

[flabort]

Everyone knows you're supposed to dig up a sizable rock from your own garden, and use it without washing first in the oven to cook pizza.
But rarely anyone ever does it, probably because sizable rocks are hard to find in your own garden.

If you live in an old enough city you could give a try at jackhammering up a cobblestone or chunk of brickwork. Good luck explaining that to the authorities, though.

[RedKing]

Skillet pizza? This is a thing? There are people who do this? 

[Flying Dice]

People who are wrong.

Let me open your mind to a wondrous world of casseroles. They're actually quite good >___>

Here in Christchurch you can literally just go outside and pick up chunks of ruined buildings or road.

[Rolan7]

Yeah Raleigh had plenty of crumbling stone and brickwork too.  I don't understand alchemy cooking enough to know why a hot stone is so much better than a normal oven baking, but I'm sure it is.

[Frumple]

It's mostly not.

[Wolfhunter107]

For whatever reason, this reminded me of Oblivion. Probably because it was possible to make potions from ordinary foodstuffs, now that I think about it.
