"Hot Pockets are the American empanada."

Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Except it tastes like shit because it's a hot pocket
You don't eat a Hot Pocket for the taste.
And definitely not for nutrition.
Well, I can't really argue with that...
Stromboli actually. Strombolis have pizza sauce like the pockets, calzones require ricotta and no sauce (you dip em in marinara).
A calzone is just a folded pizza.
Yep, that's why don't have to call it "pizza flavoured".
Its best if you use home made spaghetti sauce (the kind that takes 2 hours to make and is very meaty)
The Low-Cal Calzone Zone! 😀
I thought a hot pocket was the American version of a meat pie. No?
No, I think we call that a a pot pie. It has a meat, gravy and a bunch of vegetables
We call that a Pot Pie
Yes, and so are burritos, corndogs, whole pies, dumplings, pop-tarts, and uncrustables. And presumably non-pizza-flavored Hot Pockets.
This is a case for the cube rule!
No, its definitely not. A Calzone isn't what ever hot pockets are made of.
