/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

In before people try to quote the stupid cube rule of food. That is one set of opinions that people try to claim as objective truth. The cube rule is not fact, it is opinion backed up by a poorly constructed model. By all conventional measures, a hotdog is a sandwich.

We are the Cube Rule. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your food's biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your food categories will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

That's a tough one. Spaghetti-O's fall in the same category

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I mean It’s just Cheerios in tomato juice
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

That’s almost as disgusting as real Spaghetti-Os.

[–] f314@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

All food is soup (which is just a salad with a lot of dressing).

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

This is amazing. I love pedantic food arguments.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

The author does not understand how ingredients work, or why you wouldn't microwave a salad.

Never would have thought of cereal as salad, but he makes a good point.

Yyyyyyyuuuuhhhhyyes?

It’s a chowder unless you used too much milk.

Cereal is over-dressed salad. That way I eat salad almost every day.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My personal favourite ...

Mashed Potatoes is Irish Guacamole

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Irish guacamole is spiced with salt ..... and sometimes pepper for the adventurous type

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Potatos are the starch (like rice and beans). Gravy is the mole.

Beef Wellington is just a bland imperial burrito.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You've never had a good wellington. They're fucking incredible done right.

ketchup is a fruit smoothie

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 8 points 1 month ago

Sangria is fruit salad.

I have identified a problem.

According to cube rule, an entire pumpkin pie is a quiche, while a serving of pumpkin pie is toast.

This means that something like "pumpkin pie" cannot be classified without specifying "whole" or "single serving." I would posit that foods should always be identified by their single serving unit, but I don't see that sorted here.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Try modulating the phase coil inverters to match the frequency of pumpkin pie.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

It's a pasta sandwich.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Yes. I told my friend that I would get us a chocolate lasagna and enjoy it and she talked all kinds of shit. I brought a layered cake and she was so mad haha

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its not even a question, everyone knows hotdogs are a type of taco

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wouldn't lasagna be a macaroni cake since the dough is referred to as macaroni noodle dough?

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have never heard pasta dough referred to as macaroni noodle dough...

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you look at the various pastas in the store they are mostly labeled macaroni product, from elbow macaroni, to rigatoni, to linguine, and shells. Spaghetti, and Lasagna aren't labeled macaroni products, but are made from the same pasta dough.

[–] kerrypacker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Your country is fat and uses macaroni as a reference point for pasta.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's gluten free deeper dish pizza.

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's most certainly gluten in normal lasagna noodles.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Oh shit, the noodles! Well I'm not gonna start a food business. I'll kill someone.

[–] Kojichan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Italian sex on the beach

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

Wife says yeah

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Going with no, at least if you require the “pasta” to be the same thing for both, ingredients wise.

Please notice how the spaghetti have no egg (uovo) in the ingredients, as opposed to the lasagna.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

You know that both of them have "with eggs" and "no eggs" varieties, right?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

You can also make a cake without eggs.

I will unfriend and block you, but it’s possible.

[–] Mechanize@feddit.it 4 points 1 month ago

If you are talking about Lasagne - the pasta type and not the finished product, you would be right in saying you can find it both with eggs and without, by the article it says it is a north/south thing in Italy. But honestly you can find thousands of variations of them even moving just a few dozens kilometer.

On the contrary to be spaghetti and not something else they need to be - to directly quote - "a special pasta format made exclusively from durum wheat semolina and water, with a long, thin shape and round cross section."

I'm not sure if it is the same outside of Italy. But at the end just do what makes you happy.

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fair, but neither is the regular kind. Generally speaking, lasagna, tagliatelle: eggs. Spaghetti, fusilli, penne and so on: no eggs.

Edit: actually, might be worth pointing out that this is in Italy. It’s true that recipes can change wildly in different countries…
