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

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

It's clearly two sandwichs.

The bold move would be to have the other side have the peanut butter and jelly swapped around. I'd call that the ouroboroswich.

[edit] what if it only had 1 cut? I think that'd be a taco

[edit 2] a torus cut once makes a cylinder. So really, it's a double decker sandwich

[edit 3] but it's cylinders that loop back on themselves. Is it a mobiuswhich or a Klien Wich?

[edit n] help

I'm here for this energy

Okay hear me out, what about the peanut butter on one axis (either conventional sandwich, or this rotated 90 degrees) and the jelly as it is here

What are we dealing with then? This might transcend the cube system of food categorisation.

The Cube Rule is the most definitive and authoritative categorization of food topology I have encountered. I refer to it often in food related arguments.

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

[–] donslaught@unilem.org 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago (3 children)

Yes.

A hot dog is also a sandwich

[–] Creddit@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (10 children)

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 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

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.

No, a sandwich is made from slices of bread.

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

It's a bagel "standwich"

[–] ehrenschwan@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

I'd say yes but you definitely have to eat it in that direction.
