I find that system inconvenient, as it does not inform me of how I should eat any given item. Classification for the purpose of classification is insufficient. However, an alternative that allows me to prepare my ustensils based on the classification is useful, and therefore I propose...

Soup, salad, and sandwich are the three states of food, and they can go through phase transitions. They are closely accompanied by spoon, fork, and knife, respectively.

  • A soup is any food that requires a spoon, and thus includes soups, drinks, cereal with milk, etc. Tipping a container is merely the use of the container as a large and unwieldy spoon, a straw is similarly a spoon when its topology is combined with suction.

  • A salad then is anything bite sized that can be forked, and one's hands are little more than fleshy forks, the fingers prehensile tines. Popcorn, salads, cut up steak bites, a handful of cheerios, etc.

  • A sandwich is anything that requires it to be cut in order to be consumed, and one's incisors are merely built-in knives. A sandwich is thus the vast majority of the cube rule's content, and only because the cube rule focuses on the physical location of the starch. This is, of course, entirely irrelevant when it comes to the consumption of food.

  • To observe a phase transition, one can cut up a sandwich without consuming it, thereby turning it into a salad; can drown a salad to turn it into a soup; can freeze a soup to turn it into a sandwich, etc.

Shredded cheese is a salad.

While I think your system allows for some really odd edge cases, I like the way you think.

I don’t understand how pumpkin pie is toast, but cheesecake is a quiche. Shouldn’t they be the same whichever they are?

I love that under this system the popular examples of type 4 'sushi' includes no sushi, unlike type 1. That and in the process of eating something can cause it to change type.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

the process of eating something can cause it to change type.

Process of eating and perspective.

Beef Wellington:
To the chef: Calzone
To the diner: Sushi

I like this statement because it’s successful on two levels. You can also argue over whether “pop-tart” counts as one word or two.

It's neither a calzone nor a ravioli. Pop tarts have pastry crusts. Calzones use a leavened crust, and ravioli have pasta crusts.

[-] kralk@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

I've never boiled a pop tart

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

What? How do you brew your poptart tea then?

Hmmm id say a canzone is a dumpling, because it's folded over on itself.

Ramen is just anime spaghetti.

[-] tiredofsametab@kbin.run 11 points 3 months ago

I'd argue the way that ramen noodles are made is different enough. Spaghetti is just flour, water, and salt whereas ramen noodles can have an alkaline process (kansui) among other things. Spaghetti is also one type of noodle whereas ramen is a category with a fair bit of variety.

Valve games suck

Rs3 is better than osrs

Cybersecurity Professionals are mostly useless

I don't believe all of these but I do know they would start a fight with at least me.

I hope you stub your toe every morning

[-] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 9 points 3 months ago

Those statements are great for starting fights because there's an element of truth to them.

Except the one about Valve games. If I get the apartment above yours in hell I will be moving furniture every day for that statement.

The creator correctly says "jif"

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 months ago

It's an acronym standing for graphic interchange format. Not that I care all that much tbh. Reminds me of parents naming their kid cVIIItlyn. Sure you can pronounce it whatever you want, doesn't make you any less stupid. Also, iirc it was invented by a team, what do the rest of them say?

Is a hotdog a sandwich?

I thought about this a lot recently after someone said it,

my opinion is thatNo, a hotdog is not a sandwich because it is meat inside of a single piece of bread. If you accidentally broke the bun into two pieces you could argue that you've made a hotdog sandwich because the meat is still called a hotdog and you've got two pieces of bread. That some sub sandwiches are a single nearly split piece of bread I view as an implementation detail moreso than a defining characteristic and not enough to say that sandwiches can be a single piece of bread.
