You could at least post the original source instead of this poor mockup. The original is excellent and explains in much more detail.

The "popular examples" had me rolling.

[–] strepto@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

This is hilarious

[–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 4 points 1 year ago

Had no idea there was a source

"MY WIFE LEFT ME BECAUSE I THINK A BURRITO IS A TYPE OF SANDWICH"

[–] InfiniteLoop@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

so…proof that a hot dog isn’t a sandwich but now….it’s a TACO??!?!?

[–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 6 points 1 year ago

The world isn't ready for this

[–] root_beer@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

This is what I have always maintained and I’m pleased that it’s getting recognition

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could be cake, could be lasagna.

[–] Navigate@partizle.com 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is lasagna just pasta cake? 🤔

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Damn...it is!

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If I add a third bun to a hamburger, its a cake now

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

So big mac are cakes, confirmed.

[–] ColonelSanders@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And a hotdog is a taco.

...actually that one kind of makes sense.

[–] totorohno@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, yes, yes… until I get to the calzone. Burrito may be more apt.

[–] DreamerOfImprobableDreams@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, calzones being a subset of burritos makes more sense to me than burritos being a subset of calzones.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Guess that depends where you're from, for me calzones are more common than burritos but I can see how you'd think this way if burritos are more common in your area.

[–] lucasban@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I think that they are all dumplings, with calzones as king of the dumplings. Burritos aren’t fully sealed, so I suppose that makes them more of a tightly wrapped toast.

Is three vertical slices a kebab?

[–] ouro-the-zed@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So a Big Mac is technically a cake

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Snickers (and many other candy bars) are calzones.

This diagram has opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I feel like this meme was created by the same topologists who claim that a coffee mug is a donut

[–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 1 points 1 year ago

They are not wrong

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Correction, coffee mug is a Quiche according to the docs ... if you are alright with eating overcooked dirt at least.

Edit: Hell I didn't realize this post was 2 days old. Oh well, leaving it.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Quiche and sushi just differ in orientation? So does turning one on it's side become the other? What happens in space if two people are in different orientations, is it both simultaneously?

[–] kvn@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I think a quiche has a bottom like a cup. And sushi is open on both ends like a toilet paper roll.

[–] dfitz@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Quiche is only open on top, sushi is open at both ends.

[–] kvn@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My takeaway from this is that pizza is just fancy toast.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Pancakes? They were just toast all along...

[–] ABoxOfNeurons@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Almond croissant is now my favorite sushi.

[–] root_beer@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As someone who doesn’t eat quiche (don’t like eggs), how is that category not “tart”? I’ve argued that a pizza, rather than being a pie, is a tart, but under this system, is it actually a quiche?

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

NY style is more of a pizza tart (or a pizza toast?) while Chicago style is a proper pizza pie/pizza quiche.
