kevlar body armor was developed by a pizza delivery guy

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Well yeah, but he was also an ex marine lol

Though he did get the idea after successfully defending himself in an armed robbery attempt while delivering pizza.

Have you heard of the High Elves?

I saw a mud crab the other day, horrible creatures

[-] KreekyBonez@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

It's also really, really easy to lose your job as a pizza delivery person.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago

Not to mention the risk of being frozen for a thousand years.

Pizza delivery people have to get out of their car in any weather. Cops only have to get out of their car if they feel like it. Also, cops don't have to buy their own gas.

I feel like "The thin crust line" would work better than "The thin bread crust".

And it really does contribute to society

A pizza can feed a family of four. A cop could feed his family of four if his wife and kids hadn't left him for the domestic abuse reported amongst 40%* of all American cops.

  • 40% is the self-reported figure. Unreported instances presumably would make the actual number much higher.

Eat a pizza and you're fed for a day. Be shot by a cop and you will never be hungry again

[-] grayman@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

I was robbed a lot when I delivered pizza.

[-] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

May be you should have tried not getting robbed?

Tip your building superintendent this Christmas, they're actually on the top 10 list of dangerous jobs in North America, like 10 spots above cops. I've done the job and it's high risk of ergonomic injury, as well as accidents, and working alone makes it even more hazardous. You can get sick from the job, get crushed by garbage bins, electrocuted, poisoned, gased, burned, fall off a ladder or worse, and it's low pay.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Superintendent? Don't you mean janitor? Custodian?

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Custodian more like it, janitors just clean up. Many people call them building supers

[-] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

And soon to be you will find them employed by the Mafia betting their own whole life upon the success of a 30 minute delivery.

And don't touch the Snow Crash.
