all pasta is garbage food
And pasta and noodles mean the same thing ๐Ÿ˜
The real fighting words are always in the comments!
Ramen is just anime spaghetti.
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.
Weebs arenโ€™t people

This has been solved they are both calzones. cuberule.com
The Cube Rule

Identify your food based on the location of structural starch. Is a hot dog a sandwich? No, it's clearly a taco.

I donโ€™t understand how pumpkin pie is toast, but cheesecake is a quiche. Shouldnโ€™t they be the same whichever they are?
Donโ€™t forget that sliced pie is a taco to add more confusion!!!
That was specifically a sliced pie with a top crust.
โ€ฆmaking a whole top-crust pie a calzoneโ€ฆ
Itโ€™s hard to tell whether the difference is that the pumpkin pie crust is โ€œslantedโ€ while the cheesecake crust is vertical, or that the pumpkin pie is a single slice while a โ€œquicheโ€-topology cheesecake is intended to be eaten whole.
So if I understand right, the cube rule is giving permission to eat a whole cheesecake, but not a whole pumpkin pie?
Yes, that is the brilliant simplicity of the cube rule.
I enjoyed that, good read. But, a steak being a salad is going to be a very tough sell.
โ€œWhat do you mean you thought I was a vegan? I am. This is a salad.โ€
According to Salad Theory all food is salad.

I love that under this system the popular examples of type 4 โ€˜sushiโ€™ includes no sushi, unlike type 1. That and in the process of eating something can cause it to change type.
Itโ€™s a good system, we should adopt it for all foods
I donโ€™t think I would go that far. From a topographical point of view type 1, type 3 and type 5 are identical.
Omg, not the donut argument againโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคฃ

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

Tell this to Ramsey and see how he reacts.
Sane, rational, and consistent. I love it. At the same time: this is absolutely going to start fights.

I find that system inconvenient, as it does not inform me of hoe 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 proposeโ€ฆ

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 oneโ€™s hands are little more than fleshy fork, 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 oneโ€™s incisors are merely built-in knives. A sandwich is thus the vast majority of the cube ruleโ€™s content, and only because the cube rule focus on the phywical 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.
This thread makes me angry.

I mostly agree with these broad level classifications, except for sandwich. A sandwich refers to the construction (something sandwiched between something else) and also the intended method of consumption (no utensils and rarely a napkin). By your classification a 32oz steak is a sandwich, yet it must be consumed quite differently than an ice cream sandwich.

Iโ€™d change the sandwich category to be the chunk category, and have sandwiches as a subcategory of chunks and salads where the food comes surrounded by edible material thatโ€™s easy to handle without utensils.

Thereโ€™s also the group of very thin soups that might deserve itโ€™s own group, but that might just be a qualitive difference.

Completely agree, and will definitely make that change. As soon as Panera Bread starts selling Chunks.
Chef Boy R Dee is pasta
You are not the father
I prefer controller m+k
For what genres?
Basically anything without a complicated border/clickthrough UI like Civ or RTS games. I would say BG3 is right where I pass what Iโ€™m willing to put up with with a controller as far as complicated UIโ€™s go. I could tolerate it for like 20min but always went back to my computer (would hack away at it on steamdeck using the built in controller and get frustrated).
I prefer a controller for first person shooters.
If youโ€™re talking about gyro aim, based. Not enough people use that. If youโ€™re talking about aim assist, then youโ€™ll have to translate this post because I donโ€™t speak wrong
Iโ€™m here to fight you specifically.
all kind of fermented food is expired produces.
All fermented foods are alcoholic.
Cheese and yoghurt are fermented foods, as is all bread but unleavened.
love me some spoiled wheat soup
Cereal is a soup
Ketchup is a smoothie
A hotdog is a sandwich?
No. Itโ€™s a taco.
Yeah, I put ice in my cereal. So what?
That makes no sense.
Vanilla soy bean latte is a three bean soup.
Except coffee is a fruit.
Beans are a fruit. Kinda. We mostly eat the seeds of the legume fruit. But we also use the seeds of vanilla orchids, coffee cherries, and soy beans. Itโ€™s not three bean soup it is bird food.
Just once Iโ€™d like to see one of these โ€œx food is a yโ€ posts that actually makes sense.
Pizza is tomatos
Dominoโ€™s is sheetrock.
