Chili (without beans) and cheddar cheese. I'll miss not having onions but I can live without.

Or mustard and sauerkraut.

[–] chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

this thread has far too much ketchup and not nearly enough sauerkraut. everyone goes ga-ga over kimchi (cause asian and therefore exotic) but sauerkraut gets no love smdh.

I wanna add fulfilling work and get me the fuck away from fascism please.

If the parents are from Chicago then the ketchup explains WHY they're disappointed

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

relish and a response to tyrannical overreach. but good relish, mind, dill.

Your parents: “We are proud of you to the same extent that we are proud of ketchup”

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Your parents aren't proud of you because you choose their acknowledgement over onions on hotdogs.

Fucking loser

Immortality pill and a pill that can kill someone who is immortal (for when I get bored).

Edit: Properly labeled!

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Fuuuck immortality, give me neverending youth. I wanna die at some point, but don't wanna degrade into old, creepy guy.

And one keeping a well over the best by date pill at that.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

There's not much you can do about the old part, but you definitely don't have to become creepy.

it's too late already for me dude

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

But that's the best part!

I want to be the sentient dust

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

maybe instead of a pill that can kill an immortal you get a pill that can de-immortal an immortal. That way you still get the element of surprise. Everyone likes surprises, right?

Put one at each end and spin that Weiner

you said you wouldn't talk about amsterdam

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Seems like you would be okay if you took them in any order, but man would you be pissed in 60 trillion years if they were wrong off the bat.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It would mean more for me to be proud of my dad.

Also, mustard.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago

I hear you.

You spend your life trying to satisfy the rules of conditional love with nothing but severe negative feedback dotted with moments of seemingly genuine affection... only for it all to be dashed away at the slightest perceived sleight (e.g. you didn't visit one weekend because you had to juggle your own life).

At this point I'm living with the idea that a form of unconditional love exists deep deep within, but is unable to express itself because it's overpowered by sheer narcissism (the me me me generation were never taught introspection). Why show pride or affection to your kids when petty jealousy and vindictiveness are the main defining traits of your generation.

I hold onto the good memories as hard as I can (there are quite a few nice ones), but I try not to get my hopes up anymore about the relationship. It is what it is.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago

Sorry we don't offer that here... oh no I mean you can have as much ketchup as you like.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

You'll then immediately lose their favor after you put ketchup on a hotdog

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I had an old coworker who came from the UK (ex military in UK and Navy in US) ask me to grab him a burrito bowl one time at work, I askes whag he wanted in it and he said to tell the person to pack it like his wife was going on vacation and was only allowed one bag. That may be sexist/stereotyping and offensive, but I used that line the next time I got a street dog and he knew exactly what I meant.

[–] Pothetato@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Does chili count as one thing? And cheese.

Or mayo and relish.

Or mayo and dijon mustard.

Or chipotle mayo and caramelized onions.

Is ketchup sweeter than it used to be? I can't stand it anymore.

[–] chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

ketchup is as it always was, you grew up and got adult tastes. people who need to slather everything in ketchup haven't caught up yet.

[–] Resplendent606@piefed.social -3 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Ketchup has no place on a hotdog. Mustard is the gold standard. Chili, cheese, dijon, and caramelized onions are all acceptable. Tomatoes, pepperoncini, sauerkraut, and pickles are also OK. I have never heard of mayo on a hotdog, is that a Canadian thing or something? I am thinking Canada because they put it on their fries.

Chicago makes the best hotdog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_hot_dog

What if what you want to do is be elitist about hot dog condiments?

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Everything is allowed on a hotdog. Seattle dogs have cream cheese, jalapenos and onions and are delicious.

You are right that Chicago dogs are the best, however. All the vinegar notes from the various pickles and peppers really work well with sausage.

Ketchup and mustard is kinda nice, sweet chilli is another fun one.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

My favorite part about Chicago being elitist over ketchup is that they add vinegar, sweetness, and tomato to their dogs. If only there was a way to get all that in a single condiment lol

Seattle makes the best dog I'll die on that hill. Cream cheese, onion, sauerkraut (all optional), an enormous array of do it yourself condiments, and some stoned dude who won't judge you for having preferences

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Take your fedora and get outta here

[–] HumanoidTyphoon@quokk.au -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ketchup has no place, period.

[–] Resplendent606@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lets get down voted together by being correct!

[–] HumanoidTyphoon@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago

All aboard the sinking ship S.S. Objectively Correct!

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I'd take mine with chili and pure satisfaction in life, but that would be redundant so chili alone will suffice.

sauerkraut and jalapenos

[–] whysteria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mustard and pickle slices for me!

[–] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's a lot of wieners...

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Sausage party, some might say.

Dijon mustard and relish for me.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Mustard and chopped onions forever

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

A hotdog with all the toppings I like and a million bucks

[–] GoodTransKitty@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 day ago

Mayonnaise and sweet relish.

[–] subignition@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

Relish and diced white onion
