/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

This is amazing. I love pedantic food arguments.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

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 culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

ketchup is a fruit smoothie

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week 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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

You can also make a cake without eggs.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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…

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week 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.

It's a pasta sandwich.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

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

My personal favourite ...

Mashed Potatoes is Irish Guacamole

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Beef Wellington is just a bland imperial burrito.

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