Easy. First off:

Pop-tarts are calzones.

More fights:

Greek salad is fruit salad

Paris sucks

Chick-fil-A isn't actually good

Dude Paris is fucking awful. Trash and pickpockets literally everywhere

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago

You're not wrong, Ive been to many and they all are not pleasant in their own way. But for me, Paris had genuinely no redeeming factors. Every major attraction to go was tainted with a seedy underbelly that was active no matter the time of day or where you were. It was insane. I ended up chaperoning a small group of five and had to practically wrap my arms around them to fend off purse snatchers. Its something that sounds like hyperbole, and if you told me the same thing, I wouldn't believe you had I not experienced it.

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.

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

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

Could just be me or just bad luck last time I was there. I really liked Bordeaux, but I also love a port town. Strasbourg, Pézenas, enjoyed them both.

Isn’t ravioli just a dumpling?

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 21 points 12 hours ago (8 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 8 points 11 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 4 points 10 hours ago

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

Somehow, I agree to ravioli=dumpling but can’t go as far as saying that pop-tart equals anything in that category

[–] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Poptart seems more like a turnover to me.

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

i would not boil poptarts

Data is the singular.

Literal also means figurative.

[–] individual@toast.ooo 2 points 9 hours ago

let's fight.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social -1 points 5 hours ago

Who can define what a ravioli is, is a complex sociological and political topic. The statement is only funny because it bulldozes tradition in the name of absurdism. And there's probably some point about capitalism somewhere in there.

So this involves politics.
