Hey y'all, it's been a long while! Hope everyone's doing awesome!! Here's an ice breaker, though i think the ice is already broken and has been for a while: Is pineapple an acceptable pizza topping, or should it be banned forever? My answer: If you like it go ahead and have my slice; I will never ever ever be putting it in my mouth....ever. Can't wait to hear y'alls thoughts!!

To be honest, I don’t like pineapple on pizza. Mainly cuz I don’t even like pineapples in the first place lol

I love pineapple on pizza! Hawaiian is definitely one of my favorite types of pizza.

I love Hawaiian pizza! Usually I eat three to four slices! 🍕

I like pineapples on pizza, they’re delicious.

I didn't realize quite a few people liked it!

Oh my gosh!!! It has been a while, WELCOME BACK!!!!! To answer your ice breaker, I think pineapples are AMAZING on pizza! Hawaiian is actually my fav type of pizza!

I don't like pineapple by itself though.....

Whaa, I lovee pineapple by itself!! Once, i ate too much and my lips started bleeding

I mean, I like it occasionally, but I don't usually have a need or a want for it.

Same it kind of leaves a weird taste in my mouth after I drink water! Weird but it’s true! 😂

I agree! Hawaiian is amazing! I honestly think it is the best type of pizza.

Haha! Thanks! Same to you! ✋ Hawaiian is just so good, I don't see how anyone could not like it! Also, do you like olives?

I also like Olive pizza too, as well as Greek pizza.

Hi! Have any of you here participated in piano contests before? I have participated in several small ones but never in a big one. Can any of you tell me what it is like at a big piano contest?

Yes, 2 of them. They are very nerve racking... Especially when you have to memorize them. But it doesn't matter win or lose! Just work on technique, and you will be fine. Get help from your piano teacher if you need!

I've done recitals but never actual contests. That sounds really neat!

Just a reminder, if you follow me, I will follow you too!😊

Hi guys! How are you guys? Sorry I have not talked with you guys for a while. By the way, you guys may have known me as Ljun1 last year. I missed you guys!

You and @book_addict are really twinning! 🤣

What do cows drink? (I guarantee someone will think milk on the first one.) A. Water!!!

i've been asked this far too many times now my mind instantly goes to water well actually Wasser now since i try and speak german as much as possible IRL

I knew the answer was water, but my mind immediately went to milk 😆. You got me on that one!

Ooh that was a good one!

Yes you are correct, I did think milk first! 😂 Fun fact thanks for sharing!
