Post any opinion and everyone will disagree with you on someway or another. Great place to argue just to argue and roleplay.

Rules:

  1. Try to take a stance that does make sense (for example no paradoxes)
  2. Each comment has to disagree on some level to the previous one. You can also change your stance between comments, but don't self reply.
  3. Do not start chains that push the comments to break the server's rules.
  4. Have fun. You don't have to agree with what you post here.

You see what you did. Now a hotdog is a taco.

[–] glimse 3 points 10 months ago

So a pie is a quiche but if you slice off a piece, that piece is toast?

[–] SVcross 3 points 10 months ago

Crearly that is just sarcasm. The food is defined of how you eat it, not how it is formed.

Is a hamburger a sandwich? Or is it a hamburger? A hotdog is a hotdog. Hotdogs on 2 slices of bread, thats a hotdog sandwich. Hotdog in a bun is not a sandwich.

A hamburger is a specific sandwich, just like a hot dog.

[–] DagonPie -1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

By that logic, everything on the taco bell menu is a taco. Just specific types of tacos.

[–] cowfodder 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How do you figure? What we call a hamburger now was originally called a "hamburger sandwich". A burrito has never been called a "burrito taco".

[–] DagonPie -1 points 10 months ago

Just because it used to be called something doesnt make it correct. We could go through a pile of things that used to be called something that are incorrect to call it that now. Not going to get into specifics with that one but you get what I mean. But also what if the hamburger isnt shaped into a patty? Just cooked and put on a bun. Its called a loose meat sandwich. Same ingredients. Different name. Served on a hamburger bun. Specificity is important. Taking the same ingredients and changing the way they are presented changes them completely. A tostada or chimichanga are just deep fried versions of a taco or a burrito. But you call them what they are. You dont call a tostada a taco, because then youd have a taco. You dont ask for a hotdog and get sliced hotdogs on 2 pieces of bread. You get a get a delightful hotdog in a bun. Generalizing and classifying it as a sandwich doesnt do it justice because it is its own entity. And I hope you dont take this rant too seriously because we are arguing semantics for fun and I enjoy this debate lol

Well, it all tastes identical ...

[–] eager_eagle 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

so, by your definition, if you cut the bun into two pieces of bread the hotdog becomes a sandwich?

[–] DagonPie -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But its still on a hotdog bun. If it were on slices of bread it would then be a sandwich. The delivery system is important to this.

A hot dog is a steak?

[–] cobysev 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Food Theory did a pretty extensive review of what makes a sandwich, and their conclusion, based on a court case, is that a hotdog doesn't fit the legal definition of a sandwich. Their results are at 15:05 in the linked video.

Thank you yes. A hot dog is not a sandwich and never will be.

A long video of people being wrong is no argument.

Quoting law is also nonsensical. Indiana almost passed legislation defining π to be equal to 3.

[–] littlebluespark 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Quoting Indiana law is nonsensical and oxymoronic, which you would know if you'd ever been.

[–] SpaceNoodle 1 points 10 months ago

Providing an example is demonstrative, you silly goose.

[–] SVcross 1 points 10 months ago

A kind of taco is not a sandwhich. What makes a sandwhich is the way of how to eat it.
