So as to ensure the ethical and philosophical debate of this topic does not seep into other threads as specified in the rules, let's contain it to this thread instead.

Personally... I'm against! I'd be okay with if it you're balancing apples on your nose, or even just some pine. But pineapples? At that point, we'd have to ask ourselves if science has gone too far.

As someone who frequently draws reindeers while balancing pineapples on my nose, I'm all for it. Pineapples, though they are a genetic combination of pine trees and apples, promote and enhance the creative to process for drawing a reindeer. The only negative side-effect that is known is an apparent health-risk if one is allergic to pineapples.

Im not so sure about that. People should do what they want even if it would mean potential harm to ones face. To be quite honest i usually balance a watermelon or two on my nose while drawing.

No! Absolutely not! Pineapples are nothing, NOTHING to be played around with! Have you thought of their homes? Their families? Do you know the pain they endured when they were dug up from the ground?! Then to balance them on your nose, WHILE HOLDING AN ERASER OF ALL THINGS?

Have you no decency?! Do you not know that erasers are pineapple gibbets?!?

Hrm, gibbits you say... well if i were going to actually be serious about this one would say that the pineapple you got that gibbit from must have been made of some pretty strange stuff... i mean who has ever heard of a rubber pineapple?

You guys are missing the point. I have no problem with people drawing reindeers while balancing pineapples on their noses, but I will ABSOLUTELY not accept the use of an eraser while doing so. There should be a LAW!

So you want a law in which one cant undo the mistakes made by a bad stroke?

Without the eraser, how can the highlights be more highlighted? How can the original drawing be erased from the big picture? But most importantly, what would happen to the pineapple who depends on the eraser?

Only while partaking in reindeer drawing and pineapple balancing. That would just be sick and wrong for reasons I refuse to explain because they should be obvious to all sensible people.

An eraser cannot wipe away your sins and mistakes. To try and get rid of the evidence would only make what you've done that much worse.

Mistakes on paper vs mistakes in life one is unlike the other and not applicable.

And the pineapple relies upon the eraser for entertainment. Think of the pineapple.

Do you think the pineapple thinks of you? If it saw you drowning, would it pull you out? Even if it had hands, I think it'd ignore you. And Phil Collins would see it and write a song about it.

Hrm... we need a forum dedicated to philosophy debates...... Now back on topic

Was it not earlier it was said that the eraser is the gibbit from the pineapple? But that cannot be right and if the eraser is the pineapples entertainment what entertains the eraser?

Even if the pineapple doesn't think of me, it doesn't matter because I ate the pineapple. And it was delicious.

Well, that's just the thing. The Pineapple knows the eraser is made from Pineapple gibblets. It knows that its brothers and sisters are being rubbed into nothing to perfect the reindeer. What, I ask, do you think this would do to its mind?

Unless, ofc, the Pineapple was the one who made the eraser to begin with.

Maximum contrast is nice but what about when your doing the first outline, the sketch before the inking?

More importantly, how does the pineapple (which I ate) affect how one creates arts? Does the pineapple influence people to use pencil instead of ink?

Good question! You actually just don't do it. When your drawing turns out to be shitty, you just have to accept it and move on and try to do better for the next one.

It's a really great way to work, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Given that you've eaten a monster, I'd say its filled your mind with evil thoughts, giving rise to the idea of using pencil over pen.

But then again, I'm no expert on the topic, so who really knows? Do let us know if anything dramatic changes in your behavior after consuming said unholy creature.

Well, I can't balance it on my nose anymore, so my creative process is hindered. I do find eating the cross between a pine and an Apple may have some aftereffects.

Do you feel abnormally juicy? A pit prickly perhaps? Do you feel the need to befriend a pig and lie down on a bed of cheese together?

I for one advise against the use of erasers while drawing reindeers while balancing pineapples on your nose. It is not only impractical, but highly dangerous! Turning that drawing instrument around to use the eraser while keeping the pineapples balanced could prove difficult!
I've drafted a quick simulation below to back up my argument.


I assure you the fact that I assume you are Arizona in the modern earth era has no impact on this debate.

But if the eraser is in another hand, balancing the pineapple becomes easier since one does not have to flip the pencil to use the eraser.

Edit: And the toaster will not catch on fire.

Whilst this backs up my side, I must admit, it's admirable how even when picnicing, the pineapple still stays perfectly still. She has a talent~

Aha! That is a potent retort! ...However, I still foresee complication.

Let us assume for the sake of this argument, that the eraser is not attached to the drawing instrument.
Another simulation provided below.


I rest my pineapple. Er, I mean case.

Excellent point, but assuming both the pencil and eraser were in hand, so to speak, could such a hazrd be avoided? With the pencil and the eraser already within grasp, there would be no need to reach for the eraser.

Again, you thwart my logic, you magnificent fiend!

Thrice now, I must respond with an opposing ...wait a minute.


No, that..... that definitely worked out alright. Huh. You got me there.

But it appears all of my efforts to prevent tragedy have been in vain. I tip my hat to you sir. But I must ask one final question:
How did the anatomical structure of Arizona's hooves change?
