A hamburger is a hamburger sandwich; that is, a sandwich with a hamburger on it. That hamburger is, in turn, also a sandwich, with its own hamburger.

So is it sandwitchception, or hamburgerception?

BOTH

Its 3 cullics

IMO, it depends on if you prefer to look at the little things or the big picture. In strict terms, it is a sandwich--it's a filling between two slices of bread. But to me there's a ton of things that set it apart from a regular "sandwich"--the main filling is unusually thick compared to other sandwiches, it's typically served on a specialized bun rather than regular bread loaves, and it's heated. Any one of those things by itself would have still made it a sandwich to me, but together I feel that they distinguish a hamburger enough for it to be its own thing.

Yeah, but subsets are a thing. Same way as all squares are rectangles, but not vice versa.

By the same logic you could separate every particular instance of a sandwich from a Platonic Sandwich (dot tumblr dot com) if it's distinct enough.

Why the fuck would you design a toilet brush handle in two parts, thus risking unfortunately timed detachment while in use.

Why.

[Frumple]

Space concerns. Probably built to be able to be stored or used in cramped rooms. The real question is why someone would buy one that can be shrunk down if they don't need to be able to stick it somewhere claustrophobic.

Well then. That's an interesting thing you've said there.


Avenged Sevenfold actually seem pretty good. Not sure why I didn't expect them to be, actually.

The handle comes off. No bendiness or flexibility. No ease of use in small or oddly shaped places. No rhyme or reason. Just... the handle comes off.

... maybe it's like those hello kitty massagers or somethin', I'unno. Or they sell replacement non-handle bits? Someone thought it was a good idea for some reason.

Wow...

Ok so I was trying to look up "What would a world that had no cultural appropriation be like?"

And I found a feminism website...

I swear to goodness the vast majority (and by vast majority, I mean I didn't see anything to the contrary) of its articles are on how terrible everything is... usually the reader.

And it is usually "How this one innoculous act makes you a bad person"

Seriously what is with advertising to women and self-esteem assassination?

---

On that subject I am thinking of making a topic where we just come up with how a world without cultural appropriation would work...

[hector13]

Depends what you mean by cultural appropriation.

[Neonivek]

Depends what you mean by cultural appropriation.

Cultural Appropriation us: Engaging in anything that is of a culture that is considered to be your lesser in terms of power WITHIN your culture.

This includes things like researching, eating, listening, playing, baking, saying (yes, no loan words).

So... for example you aren't allowed to go to Chinese Restaurants, you aren't allowed to research Chinese Food, you aren't allowed to cook Chinese food, you cannot even say the proper names for Chinese food.

Ah. Well, that makes the answer relatively easy. We'd either be extinct, monoethnic, or in a state of perpetual war. We'd also be several centuries back technology wise, at this point, assuming we made it this far. Probably significantly smaller population. Buncha' other nasty stuff.

Well yeah... But for the sake of argument... We are assuming that a cultural appropriation ban was put into place like... 20 years ago...

And any words that existed 100 years ago in English are acceptable (because... well... English has VERY few of its own words)

The Daily Mail just wrote about the Slingshot Channel

...The level of outrage they express over that is astounding.

I think the evil laugh plus knife image they put in is the turd cherry on top of the suspiciously smelly mudcake, to be honest. I knew they were always low, but not this low.

They're a redtop. They only care about selling papers, not so much how they go about it.

Bonus points they included the quote "When are Google going to get their act together and stop making money out of vile hatred?"
