Old wonders: I wonder how they did that?
New wonders: I wonder why they did that?

This is Pizza Africana, which you'll find on Swedish pizza menus as surely as you'll find Quattro Formaggi or Hawaiian.

It's ok not to want to try it, but I wish that in 2026 we could stop hating on people who do things that make them happy without affect us.

Ok, let's rephrase the question: "When did humans stop creating nice wonders?"

I once used to watch TMNT as a kid and sometimes the show mentions what were then considered the strangest pizza toppings ever sold.

There do exist Nutella "pizza" but I consider them to be more pastry than pizza.

Hello, ICoJ? I'd like to report a warcrime...

It's a wonder alright. I wonder why anyone would voluntarily eat it

Get off the Internet and never come back!

Okay lemme ask "when did humans stop being sane?"

Have you people even seen a pizza menu in Japan?

Banana curry pizza is actually really good. But I'd still opt to not have pineapple on it.

would

The object in the picture is a monument to man's hubris.

The other one is a border wall.

It’s pretty self evident that we have not, and we are striving to continue to do so. One must simply pull themselves out of their misanthropic worldview to see it.

I'd think the reason we stopped engaging in national scale single focus construction projects is that nations that relied on national scale conscripted labor didn't prosper as well as ones that didn't.

*Note: I don't pretend to be educated enough to actually back this up, nor do I have any underlying political point. Just thinking with my thumbs.

Looks terrible, I'd try it.

Everything is just built to be the most utilitarian, and more importantly cheaply built, they can be now. Something that kicked off the lack of beauty in our architecture was a paper written by Adolf Loos in around 1913 called "Ornament and Crime". Naturally, the arguments he made were nearly all rooted in racism

Loos introduced a sense of the "immorality" of ornament, describing it as "degenerate", its suppression as necessary for regulating modern society. He took as one of his examples the tattooing of the "Papuan" and the intense surface decorations of the objects about him—Loos says that, in the eyes of western culture, the Papuan has not evolved to the moral and civilized circumstances of modern man, who, should he tattoo himself, would either be considered a criminal or a degenerate.

In Rise of Nations modern-era wonders are science projects like space programs and supercolliders.

The LHC is absolutely a recent wonder.

I'd try that. Any food should be given at least one attempt to be awesome.

Are those kiwi slices or mini nuclear reactor symbols?

All of a sudden, I understand at a fundamental level the hate others have for pineapple on pizza.

I wonder why anyone would put this in their mouth.

Blasphemy. If there were a hell, you'd burn in it.
