It was a series then too? And even so, you’re being pedantic for no reason.

It got them to experience contemporary European culture, and culture from European countries other than where their ancestors came from.

I get why thicker Chicago-style pizza could get called “pie”, but it still infuriates me when “pie” is used as a synonym for pizza

A food already quite common and popular in immigrant communities being profiled as a “new discovery” in the NYT food section? What a quaint and completely foreign concept in 2023.
Next you’re going to tell me that pizza shops opened up in non-Italian neighborhoods serving worse product for a 500% markup.

Have you heard the story about Paul McCartney not recording Yesterday for months because the whole song came to him at once, so he thought he had subconsciously heard it somewhere, and spent months trying to find it?

People might be surprised, but this eating their own chicks has clear evolutionary advantages. Seagulls have no pockets or ability to create and carry bags or backpacks in able to carry provisions. Thus rather than spend time, energy and points evolving those traits, they instead opted for another solution. The seagulls get pregnant and thus can carry more nutrition during a long journey. After challenging and long travel, at the destination, or even midsea provided they find a suitable piece of floating styrofoam or driftwood, they give birth to a chick and ingest their essence. This also has the extra advantage of being more aerodynamic compared to other solutions.

I've done a lot of bowling in my life but (apart from Wii Sports) only ever 5 pin or candle pin. I don't know if I'll ever get to try ten pin but it would be bizarre.

I've watched seagulls down adult pigeons. Too many times if I'm honest. I hate seagulls
