My interpretation of that meme is that it's impossible to destroy because people are too stubborn and there will always be unfortunate souls who will keep putting pineapple on pizza 😔 😉

Guess I'll just edit it in later 😏
egads phone browsers are so inferior 😔

Gonna spoiler for length:

Just as you digest food by breaking large molecules into smaller, easy-to-absorb molecules, pineapples can break down the molecules that make your cells and bodies. In fact, every time you eat a pineapple, it eats a little bit of you.

Pineapples contain a very powerful proteolytic enzyme called bromelain. However, what is a proteolytic enzyme? Simply put, a proteolytic enzyme is a molecule that can break down proteins.
An enzyme is a molecule, usually a protein, that helps reactions in the body happen faster. Bromelain makes it possible to chemically cut up proteins.

What Bromelain Does To You When You Eat A Pineapple

Every time you eat a pineapple, it eats a little bit of you.

Proteins make up living things (when you exclude water and fats). They are the skeleton of your cells, the glue that holds two cells together, and the machines that run your cell. An enzyme that can break down protein will damage cells.

The stinging, tingling pain that your tongue feels when you eat a pineapple is bromelain (and the pineapple's acid) digesting your tongue. The bromelain is physically damaging your cells.

If you eat too much pineapple in one sitting, your mouth will hurt. Your tongue might feel like you've scrubbed it with sandpaper. Thankfully for us, the tissue in our mouth heals faster than the rest of the body, and saliva comes equipped with our body's very own painkillers.

couple excerpts from a pretty lengthy article: https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/bromelain-in-pineapple-how-it-works.html

Cooking the fruit supposedly inactivates the stuff, but I'm seeing conflicting reports on it, depending on the source.

Also came across this

Consuming too much pineapples may cause tenderness of the mouth as the fruit is a great meat tenderizer. Eating too much pineapples may cause a range of symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or heartburn due to its high vitamin C content. Furthermore, bromelain, when taken in excess, can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, skin rashes, and excessive menstrual bleeding, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Sounds absolutely lovely... 🙄
Gotta top those pizza's with stuff that wants to eat your mouth =O
Though humans have eaten weirder stuff I guess lol

Anyway I just got curious after bumping into some links =P
All I know is that my resolve to never touch the stuff again has been reaffirmed =D

No worries; just take your time! :P

were you expecting me to rush home or something? That's the sort of action a pineapple-ist would take >=O

Was also highly tempted to take this post as a personal invitation to post in a new post >=D

If that count doesn't go down I'm going to be sick... Not feeling well... I see pineapple floating around me...

You're probably feeling sick because of lack of vitamine C. May I suggest some pineapple pizza? :D

How can you be sure, though? 😏
Did you get yourself tested in/by a lab ? =O

You haven't been trying very hard though... are you trying to get sick to skip work for some thing?🤔
Is there a Metal concert coming up? 🤔

Were you implementing a feature or dialogue option where we can remove pineapple from pizza and save humanity and Pokemon alike? =D
