I have an in-law who's a vegan and explained it as "if I consume less there's a tiny bit less cruelty. A tiny bit less demand." I like that. It's not about purity. It's about trying.

I'm still not vegan. I suppose that doesn't say good things about me.

A bowl of cereal is cold soup.

Sounds right.

It's not for everyone. I like it because I'm old and grumpy.

I like it more than pineapple anywhere else.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

For me, it's not the pineapple, it's that Hawaiian pizza is bad. Pineapple, jalapenos, and pepperoni is a great combo.

Italian food is cheating!

Spaghetti carbonara with heavy cream.

[–] nik9000@programming.dev 1 points 23 minutes ago (1 children)

Not sure why tasty is cheating, but cool.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

It’s not about taste, it’s about the culture around Italian food. For some reason, Italian food lovers are extremely aggressive about protecting their favourite cuisine from “inauthentic” recipes.

Lol ... you're both wrong ... it's data

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

Um ackchually, the creator of data says it's pronounced data

Electric bikes are just rascals for younger people

Easy. First off:

Pop-tarts are calzones.

More fights:

Greek salad is fruit salad

Paris sucks

Chick-fil-A isn't actually good

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

As a Parisian: Paris is fucking amazing but Parisians suck a lot and well.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Dude Paris is fucking awful. Trash and pickpockets literally everywhere

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Here's a hot take for you... every major city is terrible.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Pop-tarts are calzones.

This is more accurate than ravioli but its still the wrong kind of dough. Pop-tarts are empanadas.

Greek salad is fruit salad

True.

Paris sucks

Never been but its not particularly high up on the list of places I want to visit.

Chick-fil-A isn’t actually good

It's OK at best. Certainly not worth the line (the one I live near is always packed) or the bigotry they fund.

A ravioli is an amphibious hot pocket

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Data is the singular.

Literal also means figurative.

[–] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 29 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Isn’t ravioli just a dumpling?

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 17 points 5 hours ago (6 children)

Just like chili is a stew (which is a very thick soup) and hot dogs (and tacos) are open faced sandwiches and so forth.

Pretty much all of these memes fall apart if you at all know how to cook. Which is probably why they are so lasting.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The memes are intended to show the absurdity of trying to apply strict classificationss to something as varied as food.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

This is a strict classification of why these memes fall apart.

Number values are mere suggestions that approximate measurements to a very high degree and try to quantify an infinitely variable universe

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

No fight here
