Jobless Cooking Enthusiast Declares ‘Italian Food Is Low-Tier’ — 5ch Hears Him Out

From our other sites

The story

In a freewheeling chat thread on 5ch’s “Anything Goes Live” board, the conversation drifted from baseball talk about a supposed “true successor to Fujinami” showing up at Osaka Toin High School, to a generational argument over whether 1980 counts as “the old days” or “recent,” to a jobless cooking enthusiast’s bold declaration that “Italian food is low-tier.” A history-trivia tangent about whether alcohol existed before Islam banned it also popped up, keeping the thread lively without ever settling on one topic.

Be honest — is "1980" ancient history to you, or does it still feel recent?

I'm a "low-status loser guy" (jakusha danshi, self-deprecating slang for men who feel they're losing at life), and I swear I'm getting rid of all my games and figures

If the thread title has zero style — 🍐 here is a pun on "nashi," meaning "none" — the thread dies fast

Being socially awkward (komyushou) really is some kind of illness, isn't it

I'm a jobless guy who's into cooking as a hobby, but I'll say it straight: Italian food is low-tier

Looks like I'm moving over to News VIP (5ch's famously chaotic anything-goes board)

7-Eleven's pork buns and 551 Horai's pork buns (a famous Osaka chain) are just not the same thing

Is it okay if I buy a Switch 2 and the Ocarina of Time remake? Also I'm a little uncomfortable with calling a buffet a "viking" (common Japanese slang for buffet). You guys probably post on 5ch more than you send emails or LINE messages combined

Islam: "No drinking allowed" ← so does that mean alcohol already existed back then?
93AnonymousOct 31, 2026 16:23
Re: #66
I'd guess alcohol's been around since the Stone Age

Background and Talking Points

The “Anything Goes Live” board, where chat threads like this are the norm, branched off from the news-ticker boards and has a culture where participants toss out whatever topic comes to mind with no fixed theme. This thread’s jump from baseball to generational debates to food culture to religious history is a textbook example of that style. Fujinami, invoked here as the benchmark for a “true successor,” is a pitcher out of Osaka Toin High School known since his teens for his powerful arm, and his name has become a go-to compliment for sizing up promising younger players. The question of whether 1980 feels “old” or “recent” is also a classic topic for an anonymous board with a mixed-age crowd, where it’s less about the actual year and more about how hard it is to gauge how long ago something really was. As for the claim that Italian food is inferior, that’s just one person’s personal taste talking — it shouldn’t be taken as an objective verdict on the cuisine itself.
