Sandwich is [Bread product][Filling][Bread product]

It can be semi-wrapped, like you got one slice of bread and folded it over the filling. At most one side can be closed, any more and you're veering into calzone territory.

*Diogenes bursts into the scene, holding what is clearly a calzone sliced on one side and filled with raw tomato, lettuce, fried bacon and boiled eggs*

"Behold, a sandwich!"

I don't care what you call it, give it to me.

No can do 
As far as I know they only make them in a certain city (Volos, Greece)

Engaging in taxonomy debate to trick Diogenes into catering~
...then remembering how unhygeinic he is

ninja'd by Egan heh

And I don't think I'd like the texture of crisps between bread, but yes the flavors are great.  Maybe next time I chop and sautee some potato slices, I'll try eating them between slices of bread.  With mustard or something!

Hmph, I'll just have to make my own then!

...Though how do you avoid cooking the innards when you seal and bake the calzone? Perhaps you make a plain cheese calzone and then cut in half to stuff stuff in there? Mmmm~

[Ulfarr]

Exactly, they just make plain cheese-tomato sauce calzones and then they slice it on the side to fill it with whatever one would put on a sandwich. The most well known version is filled with french fries and some ham-mayo condiment.

[King Zultan]

I was under the impression that a calzone was not a sandwich and was in fact its own thing.

Sounds bangin tbh. Could even call it the diogenes and make gorillions

Why does drinking something scalding hot make my sore throat feel better?

[Kagus]

Get kicked in the crotch hard enough and you won't care about the splinter in your thumb!


Does said beverage happen to have sugar in it?

Outside my work there's a fountain. One day a branch of a terrestrial plant (a nearby bush) was tossed in. It has stayed green and has been there for months now.

Is that thing like...alive still? Is it producing oxygen? It gets a lot of direct sunlight, and is covered by about 40cm of clear water.

I ask because if it /is/ producing oxygen, that could be a nice feature to a fishtank or closed ecosystem. So that's really my main question.

[dragdeler]

Sounds like something that could both disperse through cuttings and colonise swampy areas as well, and you got the hearthiest one of the bunch. Is it trying to throw roots? It might be producing oxygen but if it's not growing it's probably just running extremly economically on the rest of it's reserves, in that case I wouldn't expect it to be very productive.

I know there are a fair few plants that are amphibious, emergent or just weird. You get emergent plants that grow submerged and work their way up top so their roots are fully submerged but their leaves rise above the water line. Amphibious plants that are accustomed to living in land or in water, or are accustomed to flood cycles where for periods they expect to be wholly submerged and in other periods fully terrestial. Then you get the weird ones who can switch forms depending on whether they're fully submerged or not. Then there are marginal plants which like growing on river banks or pondsides and bog plants which might also be able to live happily after being chucked in a fountain. It may be a very lucky accident that this is one of the rare species able to tolerate its roots being submerged

Honestly it doesn't look like it has changed at all. It's a stick about 15 cm long with about 6 leaves on it.

The leaves themselves look pretty hearty. Thick and glossy like holly leaves, though simply almond shaped. Seems likely they're just running on what they've got. It doesn't seem to be thriving, more just surviving the conditions.

Nope.

[King Zultan]

I cut a tree down awhile back and one of the logs from it continued to grow new leaves for a few weeks after it was cut down despite leaning against a fence without water.

Stick it in the dirt nearby and see if it survives.
