Not all hot dogs are sandwiches, but these hot dogs are sandwiches:

From this day forth, I'm going to call every sandwich I eat a hot dog to protest this outrage.

Is a hamburger a hot dog?

Simply Sensational (Old Lunch), Thursday, 3 September 2015 13:15 (eight years ago) link

If a sandwich is just bread with a filling then surely a hotdog is a subset of sandwich?

A hot dog is basically a gyro minus the tzatziki.

Picturing a mass of hot dogs slowly roasting on a gyro wheel. I think I just glimpsed a glorious future.

there's enough content in that chart to keep ilx arguing for the next eighteen months

I appear to be True Neutral, which is how I like my D&D characters tbh

The Real Remoaner (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 09:30 (seven years ago) link

i'm struggling to understand the mindset of anyone who thinks a chip butty is anything other than a sandwich, a worldview so diametrically opposed to mine that it might as well be extraterrestrial

i think i'm structural neutral, ingredient rebel

in d&d terms that would be what, chaotic neutral? oh shit, am i a sandwich libertarian?

neutral evil i'd've thought, sorry to break it to ya

The Real Remoaner (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 09:48 (seven years ago) link

now I'm wondering whether we should draw the Good-Evil spectrum against structure or ingredients

The Real Remoaner (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 09:50 (seven years ago) link

nah you're right, chaotic neutral, Good and Evil has to be structure-based

The Real Remoaner (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 09:52 (seven years ago) link

glad we sorted this out

The Real Remoaner (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 09:52 (seven years ago) link

thx for yr support nv

gonna read up on Chaotic Neutral, it seems one of the more difficult alignments to define

The Real Remoaner (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 09:54 (seven years ago) link

A hot dog? Meatloaf? The same thing. The same damn thing.

How many gigabyte is in trilobites (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 12:27 (seven years ago) link

I do like the way that chart allows people a rudimentary language with which to discuss their feelings on this important matter.

However, I think that like any typology it fails to capture nuance and matters of degree. The nature of definers and rule-makers is to categorize. The nature of exuberantly questioning humankind is to defy categorization. Consider the burger whose bun is a doughnut. Consider the late lamented Double Down, in which fried chicken acted as bread. This is why I think the only solution is to move away from binaries and toward spectra.

Nobody much cares what I think, but: my philosophy is one of relative sandwichness rather than a binary is/isn't. I believe a BLT is more of a sandwich than a hot dog is. AND I think a hot dog is more of a sandwich than a Pop-Tart is. AND a Pop-Tart is more of a sandwich than Bolivia or trigonometry or a Chevrolet Camaro is a sandwich.

One might call the opposite position... hotdogmatic.
