It's just a tradition, they do this when one of their greats passes away (James Gandolfini/Tony Soprano).

Is that a reverse food heist?

Some guy REALLY didn’t know how much spaghetti to make for four people.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

I swear officer, it looked like an appropriate amount before I started boiling it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

They misread and made four people of spaghetti.

How do we know it isn't a naturally growing pile of pasta?

Unless it's invasive it's pretty unlikely, pasta grows on trees in Switzerland

This was actually the flying spaghetti monster, but some Piney bastard was too afraid of his noodelyness and opened fire...

Because it wasn't cooked. Natural pasta is always in a cooked state, because it hasn't been dried out yet in drying ovens.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nobody dumped it. It's just growing naturally there. You didn't know spaghetti just grows out of the ground and needs to be harvested?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That's incorrect; it grows on trees:

Pasta 19:1: The heavens declare the glory of spaghetti; the skies proclaim the work of His noodly appendages.

Oh Great Glob

Send forth your wriggly, jiggly, noodly appendages for your touch does inspire much Globliness

For Cleaniness is closer to Globliness

Our Father, who art in saucepans,

hallowed be thy name;

thy spaghetti come;

thy will be done;

on earth as it is in New Jersey.

Give us this day our garlic bread.

And forgive us our passatas,

as we forgive those who masala against us.

And lead us not into rice tasting;

but deliver us from weevils.

For thine is the pasta,

the meatballs, and the gravy

for ever and ever.

Ramen.

Knees were heavy. Mom's spaghetti.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Authorities say they were able to dispose of all of the pasta in under an hour.

But at what cost? Specifically, how much marinara and parmesan?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Man, theological knowledge among the general population has really taken a dive. People don't even recognize manifestations of the FSM anymore.

This is just the extra when I tried measuring pasta for one

Then was it fresh? That spaghet is noodly.

I guess it also might have rained enough to relax the strands.

The nice Italian man just wanted to feed the animals.

They went and "cleaned" it up? It's biodegradable, they probably put it in a landfill where it's doesn't benefit anything. They could have just left it and it would have been gone in a few weeks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Being biodegradable doesn't mean that it belongs in that environment. This could have messed with the native plants and animals in a bad way. The landfill isn't a great option but it is possible that it was industrially composted.

It's house, who else
