It originally said something like "MFS be like "subway sucks"" and then at the bottom it said "my brother in Christ you made the sandwich"

[-] PotatoKat@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

Aktuallee the original had the N word instead of my brother in christ

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 15 points 7 months ago

Thanks, I totally forgot which meme that was.

Although to defend the complainer: it's hard to make a good sandwich when your ingredients are Subway.

10/10 title

The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether if it is an object, after having had all its original components replaced, remains the same thing.

[-] poppy@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

I’m currently reading a book called The Wager and I’m learning a lot about ships. Apparently like even your average ship was basically rebuilt each year because they just fell apart constantly. So I guess like all ships are Ships of Theseus.

[-] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, the same happens to the human body. Cells constantly have to be renewed.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 20 points 7 months ago

A "sandwich" made with "bread" that is more sugar than bread with mystery "tuna fish" that is totally 100% tuna.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 8 points 7 months ago

Yes, in Ireland the Subway "bread" cannot be classified as bread because of the amount of sugar in it.

The subway sandwich "bread" enters the cake category.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Unfortunately from a topological standpoint, this is still classified as a sandwich according to the Cube Rule of Food.

Hot dogs are tacos and not sandwiches?!?!

[-] skulblaka@startrek.website 5 points 7 months ago

Oh it gets worse.

According to the full documentation, soup is a salad, salad is either quiche or nachos depending on prep style, and nigiri is toast. Notably, salad itself does not fall under the "salad" cube rule.

My world view is shattered and my day ruined

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

i would say hot dogs are borderline, with most hot dog buns there is only a very thin bit connecting the two sides, and it's not unusual for that to rip out so you end up with a technically accurate sandwich.

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

From a topological standpoint, you are a donut.

[-] DrOakfield 1 points 7 months ago

Is a burrito a sushi or calzone?

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Calzone, no open sides in the initial structure. Creating one during eating it shouldn't affect that.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

If both ends are closed, that is. If you have one open end, it's a quiche.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago

in sweden they just use actual bread lol, and like half of the options are whole grain or have seeds on them so it's actually almost healthy.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 months ago

Does subway in Sweden use a different recipe for their bread than the rest of the world ?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

presumably, i've had it and the bread is not really different from regular bread you'd buy from a bakery.

the sugar comes from the dressing

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 2 points 7 months ago

100 years after sliced bread was invented; bread that doesn't stale and doesn't mold for 2 weeks on a counter-top, and still Europe is baffled.

There are reasons to add sugar to bread, quite a lot actually. It causes faster fermentation, increases the Maillard reaction, can make the bread softer, prevents going stale, etc.

I'm not defending subway in particular: they are terrible. But it's not because they add sugar to their bread dough. And Europe pretending this isn't bread is food elitism that ignores that massive differences in production and culture.

that is more sugar than bread

Also very hyperbolic. Subway has 4% sugar, which is high but not cake. Cake recipes are often 25-50% sugar.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

To be fair, that 4% is double the max limit to be called bread in Ireland, potentially more if it's 4% of the whole recipe as opposed to 4% of the flour weight.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

I was gonna say, aren't sandwiches food? Better call that thing in the picture something else

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 17 points 7 months ago

It's marketing. That's what it's doing there.

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Remember that time Subway paid a known pedophile 2 million dollars a year for 16 years?

There, that should cancel out the marketing

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Was it known that entire time? Last I checked they fired him once the allegations came out.

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Not the entire time, but some people knew (though maybe not the full extent of it) and covered it up from what i remember

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

Tangentially related but whenever a CEO gets found out to be a douchbag with skeletons in the closet they always act surprised and put a plan to fix stuff but it always comes out that everyone knew and nobody said anything, wouldn't be surprised that people knew about this guy too.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Wrong format.

That is what it feels like!!

[-] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Once I replace every word in the title of your post, and also exchange the image, is it still the same post?

EDIT: on second thought, are we actually the same person?
