This is going to end up an Alton Brown thread IMO. He talked a lot about “unitaskers” on his show “Good Eats”. I can’t remember where he placed pizza cutters.
We have one of these - it is nice sometimes/for certain uses, but I typically use a knife. It's more of a chore to clean and even the smallest insert doesn't chop as fine as I like for some things.

Lol. You're not wrong. AB does not consider a pizza cutter to be a uni tasker
Cutting fresh pasta, especially ravioli. Cutting crusts for pies.
My car is old enough to have a cassette player but no aux plug or bluetooth. I bought a bluetooth cassette! Just pair it with your phone, and press play. Music from phone on car stereo. Was <$20.
Do you have one of those huge pizzeria knives that can go across an entire pizza? Way too much of a hassle to use a regular kitchen knife to cut a large pizza.
You have to be one of ~1% of Americans who don't use a pizza cutter.

Here's one from Alton Brown:
Alton Brown's Pizza Cutter Hack For Better Sliders
According to Alton Brown, pizza cutters are excellent for slicing large amounts of meat into small rectangles, making them the ideal tool for crafting sliders.

He's got others as well.
It works very well to cut items but don't want to risk damaging the surface underneath.
I'm gonna sound like a hypocrite (not uncommon on CF lmao) but I have pasta cutters. But that's when I got really deep into pasta making for a hot minute.
But pie crusts? I am thinking about the logistics of that one.
Anything soft like dough. Knives stretch it as you pull them through. Pizza cutters slice through them without the pulling action.
We don't use it a ton weekly but when its garden season it gets used a lot.
If you're canning salsa, it's great to have around.
I have multiple knives that can handle this easily? What hassle are you talking about?
Your knife ain't sharp enough if it stretches dough.
That thing is fantastic and helps me eat healthy because of how it gets through veggies fast.
But be damn careful, you will quickly cut the f*ck out of your hands in a split second if your not paying attention to what your doing.
Ok. So I’m just going to say. Isn’t the purpose of invention is to solve a singular problem??
Now, if you really want to talk about a scam. The first person who decided a lime press and a lemon press should be different. Let’s make one smaller and paint it green. Hmmm……dammit. I fell for that joke.
I will forever contend that these are one of the greatest inventions ever.
Sorry if "TMI" but I had been breaking out from just about every major brand of deodorant and even developing skin tags from them. I explored maybe 6 brands of "all natural" deodorant and most of them didn't work at all and some irritated my skin just as much.
I found this salt crystal thing below that works amazingly well for 24 hours and one bar lasted me five years so it also probably saved me at least $50 maybe more like $100. Because it's mostly salt it does dissolve after 24 hours on the rare day one might skip a shower but as long as I use it every day it's just as effective as any typical mainstream deodorant.

He should have upgraded to the rubber hair with 20 year anti-fade warranty.
