MODERATORS
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.
The memes are intended to show the absurdity of trying to apply strict classificationss to something as varied as food.
This is a strict classification of why these memes fall apart.

Punishment is ineffective long-term
Easy. First off:
Pop-tarts are calzones.
More fights:
Greek salad is fruit salad
Paris sucks
Chick-fil-A isn't actually good
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.

That's ridiculous. The singular of ravioli is raviolo, a singular pop tart couldn't possibly be multiple ravioli.

I think the hyphen in poptart is a bigger sin than the statement.
But... Isn't this a dash?
pop•
tarts
The symbol you used, "•" U+2022 is the bullet, but what if the packaging is actually using "·" U+2027, the interpunct, which would suggest the product is actually called "poptarts" not "pop-tarts". Or it might be "·" U+22C5, multiplication, meaning we could simplify the product name to "2(pt)oars".
Two part oars.

https://trademarks.justia.com/854/44/pop-85444103.html apparently it's the canon name and I hate that.
0.999.. and 1 are equal
1 / 3 = 0.333...
0.333... + 0.333... = 0.666...
0.666... + 0.333... = 0.999...
1 = 0.999...

Sorry it's actually a lasagna.
There are 3 foods. There is soup. There is salad. And then there is lasagna. That's it.
A vanilla soy latte is a bean soup.
Where does steak fall into these classifications?
Steak is single layer meat lasagna with no sauce
This is infuriating, I will not have it. No.

Vegans are right.
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.

Roller skates count as vehicles
Ravioli is a sandwich.
A sandwich is actually a type of lasagna. Close but no cigar.

I don't like Arch Linux
they said no politics
It's not for everyone. I like it because I'm old and grumpy.
A ravioli is an amphibious hot pocket
