This appears to be a variation of the "standwich." Please see the attached for an example.

[-] Loid@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago

The question is, if this appears on a captcha asking to click only on the sandwich images. Would you click on it?

Hmm... so a steak is a salad, and a salad is nachos? Something screwy here...

[-] donslaught@unilem.org 14 points 1 year ago

Salad is only nachos if it contains croutons, won ton strips, or some other form of free-floating non-structural starch.

Hey, pass me that sandwich.

You mean this ba-oh my god.

The last time someone made a bagel with everything on it it put the universe in jeopardy.

It is a sandwich because the toppings are sandwiched between bread. But it's not a good sandwich.

[-] JazzAlien@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Now, they wouldn't be toppings in this configuration, would they?

[-] walter_wiggles@lemmy.nz 45 points 1 year ago

It's two sandwiches...topologically speaking.

If you take the traditional idea of a sandwich and draw a loop around the plane where the surfaces come together you get a mathematical sandwich.

Since the bagel abomination has two such areas and you can draw non-intersecting loops around each, it follows that there are indeed two sandwiches present.

[-] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

That depends on your definition of a sandwichable surface. If crust can be buttered as well and is considered equal to cut surfaces (which, coming from a rye bread country, is certainly the case with these fluffy things), then this is simply a sandwich without filling in the middle. This might also be achieved by suboptimal spreading on a single surface.

This is clearly a sandwich. The confusion comes from how absurdly sub-optimal its construction is.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Top bun? Check

Bottom bun? Check

Yep, it's a sandwich. I'd like to see a video of you eating it now.

Yes but it’s not a very good one

[-] aport@programming.dev 22 points 1 year ago

Yes.

A hot dog is also a sandwich

[-] Creddit@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure flatbread predated leavened bread, so it’s reasonable to conclude tacos predated both hot dogs and sandwiches.

Conclusion: Hot dogs are tacos, sandwiches are broken tacos.

So sandwich is the parent category, and hot dogs are a type of sandwich? Are burgers, too?

Oh no I accidentally started researching, there is an actual British Sandwich Association that defines sandwich as "any form of bread with a filling, generally assembled cold". The USDA, however, has different definitions for open and closed sandwiches and it depends on the percentage amounts of bread and meat... I guess if you put cheese on your bread it's not a sandwich at all!

[-] uglo@iusearchlinux.fyi 9 points 1 year ago

Heresy! I demand the BSA's definition to be accepted and adopted everywhere! "if you put cheese on your bread its not a sandwich at all!" - this is unbeliveable and hilarious

What do we call it if it is also cut and filled in the conventional bagel plane?

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 18 points 1 year ago
[-] notabot@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I like the way you think. That also leaves open the possibly of the yandwich, which is cut into three equal segments in the same way as the opening post, and the xyandwich when you combine the x and y options.

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

According to that, I think OP would have a sandwich.

[-] emberwit@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago

No, a sandwich is made from slices of bread.

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Is this not a piece of bread that was sliced in half?

What about an Ice Cream Sandwich? No bread, but sandwich is in the name.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago

Cube rule says starch is on the outside, so it's a sandwich.

IF you refuse to recognize the cookie as a starch, then an ice cream sandwich is a salad.

Technical definition is a 3-Torus sandwich, defined as any sandwich that is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product of three circles.
