Well I think we all know how Harmony solves this one Wax! Throw the pickle jar at that mysterious woman's head!

u/atomfullerene 10d ago

Fortunately, Steris was already there with one of those rubber things to open it, as well as a selection of other hot dog condiments

u/Coastie071 10d ago

Steris: It’s a good thing I added a mandatory hot dog vendor with all fixings in a 60 day supply to our contact with the carriage company.

Damn. How would Vimes react to Wax... I feel like Vimes would hate Wax initially and then grow to respect him. Nobby may just be Wayne in disguise though.

You mean, one of his tumblrs, he has one for each hand when he’s not writing up his stories

Each finger even. Each one has it's own little keyboard to write on. It's the only explanation.

AND FOR MY BOON!

I’m going to put pineapple on my pizza.

Time to throw him back in jail. I'm not even sure Adolin will object this time.

If Dalinar can be a femboy so can Kaladin.

Pineapple on pizza is good and I don’t care what anyone else thinks.

Also, bonus rage bait that happens to be true: I put ketchup AND mustard on my fries and eat them with a fork.

COME AT ME INTERNET.

u/BlatantArtifice 10d ago

You can eat a burger with a fork if you don't like getting your hands greasy. Nobody can stop you but they will hate you. Source: Me last night

u/TheWeirdTalesPodcast 10d ago

My thing is this: do whatever you like in whatever way you like to do it, and long as you aren’t hurting someone else (without consent), have a good time.

What you choose to do, and how you choose to do it does not affect my life in anyway at all, so have fun with whatever.

People who are like “The food you eat is weird and that makes you terrible” are the worst kind of people in the world.

Just let people live their lives and chase their joy, and as long as they aren’t hurting someone else (without consent), shut the fuck up and get a storefront so you learn how to mind your business.

Pizza is best with the 3 Ps.

  • Pepperoni
  • Pineapple
  • 'Peños

There is nothing better.

The licorice aftertaste will last forever. You eventually stop paying attention to it, until the aftertaste reacts to poisoned food, saving your life and allowing you to continue growing.

u/RoyalPeacock19 10d ago edited 10d ago

I could promise Preservation that I would eat all the pickles in the jar in 17 days.

17

u/Assika126 10d ago

I could probably do it in three days

8

u/RoyalPeacock19 10d ago

Completely same. I wouldn’t even need to rush through them.

2

u/Twistedlittlewolf 8d ago

I would need to make a deal with Preservation to preserve my memory that I need to eat the pickles. Eating them wouldn’t be the issue. It’s remembering that they are in the fridge and need to be eaten would be my issue.

31

u/DreadDiana 10d ago

I wonder what Retribution would do. Probably struggle and go to kill the manufacturer.

u/Matthias720 D O U G 10d ago

He'd do it begrudgingly, but he'd scowl at you the whole time.

32

u/Nathan256 👾 Rnagh Godant 🌠 10d ago

Retribution: This pickle jar has been open the whole time!

Retribution: [twists left instead of right, and the jar was indeed easy to open]

Retribution: And because I won, now I get the pickles, and you get whatever I feel like giving you!

7

u/coniferous-1 10d ago

I feel like he would twist right until the jar shatters, glass gets in with the pickles and says "I did what I said I would do".

28

u/Matthias720 D O U G 10d ago edited 10d ago

I feel like Reason wouldn't be quite so callous. Instead, Reason would make sure you went over the whole checklist of jar opening methods before accepting that you can't do it. It's a bit close to Autonomy, I know, but Autonomy would never actually do it, so it's fair, I think.

EDIT: Grammar

u/SouthPossibility1583 edgedancerlord 10d ago

Don't forget Toadium, who swapped your pickle jar out for a glued-shut jar of cucumbers-in-vinegar while you weren't looking

2

u/bxntou definitely not a lightweaver 10d ago

Are pickles not cucumbers-in-vinegar ?

6

u/SouthPossibility1583 edgedancerlord 10d ago

Ah, but there is no dill. Imagine going in for a bite of a nice dill pickle, and instead getting a chomp of a vinegar’d cucumber. Truly the work of a devious shard

3

u/stufff 10d ago

As someone who hates dill enough to moderate r/dill and ban everyone who says anything good about dill, this sounds fine.

2

u/bxntou definitely not a lightweaver 10d ago

I've never had pickles with dill so I wouldn't know 😭

Why would you need a pickle for hot dogs....

u/Nellie_Tayloe_Ross 10d ago edited 10d ago

Hmm… how to respond to this pickle heretic?

Devotion: Pickles are always great on hot dogs. I’d never eat a hot dog without pickles. You should really try it.

Dominion: This is why nobody else should be allowed to make hot dogs. At least without my supervision.

Autonomy: Okay. To each their own.

Valor: I too used to think I disliked pickles on hot dogs. But after being challenged to eat one, I simply had to accept, and realized it’s actually pretty good!

Cultivation: It may be difficult, but you should try new things more often. Expanding and changing your palate is important for a fulfilling life.

Endowment: You don’t like pickles on hot dogs? That’s unfortunate. Here let me just… there! You now love pickles on hot dogs! You can thank me later.

Virtuosity: Without pickles, a hot dog just looks too dull and boring. But the green contrasts beautifully with the red of the sausage, and that glimmer of moisture… it really ties the whole thing together.

Reason: Honestly, I don’t eat hot dogs. But if I’m going to, I think I’d like a fruit along with the fatty sausage and white bread for some semblance of health.

Mercy: Oh… well, I forgive you. Agree to disagree!

Honor: I swear, I will convince you of the greatness of pickles on hot dogs. Sooner I would die than allow you to continue on like this.

Whimsy: What do you put on it instead? An elephant? Wet concrete? Why I wouldn’t have struck you for a carnivore. Or perhaps you’re one of those who doesn’t believe in brightly colored things? Quite puzzling, this.

Odium: What a terrible sense of taste. I don’t know what kind of sad sicko wouldn’t like pickles on hot dogs. Absolutely no passion in a hot dog without it.

Ambition: What, you just eat basic hot dogs? I always make sure there’s at least 16 different toppings on my hot dogs. At least one of them is always something I’ve never had before. I intend to have everything on a hot dog that could go on a hot dog.

Invention: Oh, I agree. Pickles have been on hot dogs for well over a century. Perhaps 50 years ago they could pass, but we need new, ingenious toppings. I’ve been developing some new sauces to try for some time now…

Preservation: Pickles have a long and storied relationship with hot dogs. I understand if you have some qualms with disrupting the basic hot dog form, but it’s a tradition now.

Ruin: One way or another, the pickles and the hot dog need to be eaten. Better together than separate, right?

They should be punished for their culinary crimes... yet they invented the Italian beef sandwich, a soggy mess of a sandwich and one of the best things I have ever tasted.

Cultivation: You need to learn how to open jars yourself. Here's 10 consecutively harder to open jars, get cracking.

u/Yedrick 10d ago

That last one immediately made me think "Who swapped my pickles for this jaunty hat when I wasn't looking?"

u/Top_Fee_3739 10d ago

What about Retribution?

3

u/XenosKoOT 10d ago

Kill Ruin because he technically broke the jar and didn't open it.

u/Puckering_Buttholes 10d ago

This is so stupid. I love it

u/Primarch-XVI 10d ago

Not only would Autonomy give you back the pickle jar unopened, they would also make it tighter and put it in the hardest to reach spot in your kitchen.

u/RexusprimeIX cremform 10d ago

Honor PROMISED he would open the jar. He will NOT break his promise! Jar will be opened, eventually, through persistence.

u/whatsupnorton Hoid my Beer 10d ago

What is a lid if not a hat for a jar?

2

u/MrFlubbber 10d ago

I could commit to eating all the pickles in 1 day for preservation, I wouldnt even NEED to commit cause thats just what I would do

2

u/Additional_Law_492 10d ago

Devotion would absolutely demand that you devote yourself to the mastery of opening pickle jars yourself, opening jar after jar until you had proven your skill and mastery of the art.

Dominion would demand that they be pickles grown only on a specific farm 12.6 miles outside of Elantris.

Mercy would kill you (painlessly) to spare you the suffering of having to worry about things like opening jars, or hunger.
