    Welcome to topology where your mug is a toroid and the orientation matters a lot.

    Language is use, nerds. It ain’t a sandwich.

      Since bread cannot be attached to language in any orientable way, you are right: It ain’t a sandwich, it’s a salad!

      I would find it a tad odd to refer to a hotdog as simply a sandwich, because we have a more precise and common word for it, but I would understand nonetheless.

      Not just because of this debate, but also because when you use the ingredients separately you get weiner sandwiches and hot dog bun sandwiches.

      It would be odd to call champagne wine, but still understandable. Same for calling a lava lamp an incandescent light. Actually, this would probably work for lots of genericized tradmarks, like jello, bandaid, dumpster, zamboni, kleenex, zipper, velcro, and so on.

        Well, in the case when a table is empty except for the hotdog sandwich in question, I would maybe understand. But I imagine myself to be quite dumbfounded with such a naming

          At this point, it’s pretty hard to find a natural opinion on hotdogs as sandwiches sunce everyone has heard of the great sandwich debate, but I don’t think it’s a big leap. I think calling a hamburger a sandwich is about as weird, for example.

    If somebody asked you to bring hot dogs and tacos to a party, the host would probably not be just as fine with you bringing only tacos or only hot dogs.

    Wouldn’t a slice of stuffed crust pizza be sushi attached to toasted as the slicing opens up the ends?

    Wouldn’t a stuffed crust be sushi? It’s a tube, it just connects until you slice the pizza

    This implies that a steak is a salad.

    A stuffed crust pizza is only a calzone attached to toast until you cut into it. At that point it becomes sushi attached to toast.

    So a jelly donut is a calzone? And I guess a plate of nachos is cake?

    Imagine people thinking food cam be categorized consistently like that.

    Food is cultural and historical; nothing outside of its preparation is scientific or internally logically consistent, so stop trying to force it to be.

    A hot dog is a damn hot dog. Now stop arguing about it, and get this crap off of my feed

        The usernames add a whole new layer to this thread. “Pink drunken elephant” having a serious and sober look at the conversation and how stupid it is, and “get off the drugs dude” happily continuing this bizarre and pointless conversation.
