If you fold it

Only if a pupusa is a calzone

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Pizza is either toast or a sandwich.

Edit: So yes, I think you're right.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you fold a big New York slice, it can also be a taco.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This giant taco tastes like Italy!

Why does this make me laugh but also feel angry?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

topologically I only see 2.5 options here.

So a hot dog is a taco, and a burrito is sushi.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most burritos I've had have the ends folded in which may make them a calzone

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I see a lot with one end open, other end closed, which I guess makes them a soup or salad?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Pretty self-explanatory.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a pie. Your chart is missing pie.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A pie is just round toast or maybe round soup/salad/bread bowl.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Pies are defined by their crusts. A filled pie (also single-crust or bottom-crust), has pastry lining the baking dish, and the filling is placed on top of the pastry but left open. A top-crust pie has the filling in the bottom of the dish and is covered with a pastry or other covering before baking. A two-crust pie has the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell.

Regular pizza is bottom-crust, calzone is two-crust. That's my interpretation.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

It's also valuable and round, so I consider pizza coin.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Funny af, and shows the flaw in these charts, that positioning and shape is not the only determining factor.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What, jokes arent scientifically defensible?! I am shocked.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Hey, I still found it funny 😄

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

You can consider anything to be something it's not, so yes.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

If my grandma had wheels, could she be considered a bicycle?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 10 hours ago
[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 3 points 23 hours ago

I don't know how to tell you this, but that's not why they're calling your grandma the town bicycle.

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I don't know, how many wheels?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No, because the ingredients are raw before it's baked. Even a toasted sandwich is in ready-to-eat condition before it's toasted.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What if it is the home made pizza using half an Italian loaf in place of the dough?

What about pizza that involves prebaking the crust before adding sauce and toppings?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] snooggums@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

scowls at your lack of consistency

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about Lunchables Pizza?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 23 hours ago

neither pizza nor sandwich, sorry

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Agreed. It's actually a 1-layer lasagna.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

If you can't tell the difference between pasta and pastry I don't know what to tell you.

[–] DearMoogle@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think so, it’s just a flat bread with stuff on it. You could eat it with a knife and fork if you wanted!

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Unless youre a former mayor of nyc

[–] emb@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Pizza is also, like other foods, apparently a salad.

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know it's possible to upload pictures without taking screenshot, right?

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

On mobile at work, couldn't be arsed to spend 30 seconds uploading from gallery.

I thought that I had rotated it, though. Just noticed that now. Whoops.

Calzone is a Hot Pocket that followed its dreams and made it big

[–] Fit_Series_573@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The best sandwich

[–] QuantumTickle@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (5 children)

If I ask you for one of those things and you bring me the other, I would think you're a moron.

An open-faced sandwich isn't even a sandwich.

[–] Whichwitch@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Stop! Just stop now!
