This appears to be a variation of the "standwich." Please see the attached for an example.

The question is, if this appears on a captcha asking to click only on the sandwich images. Would you click on it?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Considering the captcha doesn't actually know, and just judges if you are correct based off of other users entries I would click on it. My guess is most users would click it, but it's ambiguous enough that you'd probably pass the captcha either way.

I miss when Tesco Value ham would label itself as such, rather than hiding behind fake farm names.

[–] xia@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, so this one would be a double horseshoe standwich?

[–] walter_wiggles@lemmy.nz 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's two sandwiches...topologically speaking.

If you take the traditional idea of a sandwich and draw a loop around the plane where the surfaces come together you get a mathematical sandwich.

Since the bagel abomination has two such areas and you can draw non-intersecting loops around each, it follows that there are indeed two sandwiches present.

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That depends on your definition of a sandwichable surface. If crust can be buttered as well and is considered equal to cut surfaces (which, coming from a rye bread country, is certainly the case with these fluffy things), then this is simply a sandwich without filling in the middle. This might also be achieved by suboptimal spreading on a single surface.

[–] octoperson@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure it counts as a sandwich as defined by the ham sandwich theorem. The only part that might be debatable is that the filling is not a single connected volume, but that doesn't seem to be required by the proof.

[–] donslaught@unilem.org 37 points 2 years ago

This is clearly a sandwich. The confusion comes from how absurdly sub-optimal its construction is.

[–] cdsigma@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Every day we stray further from the light of lord

It's a bagel "standwich"

Hey, pass me that sandwich.

You mean this ba-oh my god.

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The last time someone made a bagel with everything on it it put the universe in jeopardy.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The everything bagel needs to include smaller everything bagels on it or it doesn't include everything.

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago
[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Yes but it’s not a very good one

[–] BornVolcano@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

That, I believe, is what we refer to as an "abomination"

[–] sag@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

It's clearly a burger.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It is a kind of sandwich.

[–] GreatGrapeApe@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No and only demented sociopaths put jelly on the bagel.

Peanut butter goes best with cinnamon raisin bagels should you choose a bagel.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nothing goes with raisins. They are an abomination and should be outlawed. Especially in baked goods.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is a sandwich because the toppings are sandwiched between bread. But it's not a good sandwich.

[–] JazzAlien@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Now, they wouldn't be toppings in this configuration, would they?

[–] ehrenschwan@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I'd say yes but you definitely have to eat it in that direction.

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

[–] emberwit@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, a sandwich is made from slices of bread.

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What about an Ice Cream Sandwich? No bread, but sandwich is in the name.

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

Cube rule says starch is on the outside, so it's a sandwich.

IF you refuse to recognize the cookie as a starch, then an ice cream sandwich is a salad.

[–] emberwit@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

thus no sandwich

[–] BNE@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago
[–] notabot@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What do we call it if it is also cut and filled in the conventional bagel plane?

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] notabot@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like the way you think. That also leaves open the possibly of the yandwich, which is cut into three equal segments in the same way as the opening post, and the xyandwich when you combine the x and y options.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tesserwich is a possibility if you start fucking around in the Fourth dimension.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been trying to work out if, by cutting a helix around the bagel, you can create a mobius type sandwich with two, interlinked parts.

Moving in to higher dimensional bagel cutting is probably the sort of thing you can really make one's brain hurt.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I think a Mobius bagel would be a SCP artifact. In before it's actually cataloged and numbered.

[–] ironhydroxide@partizle.com 1 points 2 years ago

Not an xorwich?

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Goodbye horseshoe theory hello half-bagel theory.

[–] Glaive0@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

It’s two halves of a bagel stuck together with jam and peanut butter to reform a solid torus. It’s math. They COULD have had an easy time eating your math, but the construction made it more difficult.

[–] aport@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Yes.

A hot dog is also a sandwich
