Winter. The Worst Season To Ever Exist. It's Cold And Wet And Gross, The Wind Goes Right Through You, And To Top It All Off, You Have To Watch Happy Couples Warm Each Other Up.

Fortunately, I Have Just The Thing To Help What Ails You. Let's Heat Things Up With A Debate, Shall We?

Every Food Can Either Be Categorized As A Soup, A Salad, Or A Sandwich. A Soup Is A Food Whose Liquid Content ("Soupiness") Is Deemed As "High". A Salad Is A Food Whose Liquid Content Is Deemed As Low ("Dressing"). A Sandwich Is Anything That Has What Could Feasibly Be Defined As Bread On Two Or More Sides.

Some Examples:

Pizza Is A Salad. The Liquid Ratio Is Almost None, Even In The Case Of The Greasiest Pizzas. While There Is Something That Can Be Defined As Bread ("The Crust"), It's Only On One Side. However, If You Fold A Pizza In Half, It Becomes A Sandwich.

Bread Bowl Soups Are Sandwiches. This Is Because It Functionally Has Bread On Two Or More Sides.

French Dip Sandwiches Are Soups, Despite Their Misleading Name. Dipping Them Into Au Jus Turns Them Incredibly Soggy, Leading To Their Classification.

Feel Free To Debate And Add Your Own Below. Just Don't Come To Blows Over This, Okay?

hm... but the concept remains soggy, doesn't it? because it's wet, unless you have to be dry to become soggy, but wasn't the soft pasta dry before touching the cheese?

[crystallomancy]

Not Entirely. It's Rehydrated Due To Cooking Dry Pasta In Water; I'd Equate It To Human Flesh. We Aren't Soggy Nor Can We Become Soggy, Except In The Case Of Drowning Victims Left In The Water For Too Long... The Same Can Go For Pasta Left In Water. This Is Because Water Has A Low Viscosity--It Makes It Very Easy For It Sog Food, Particularly Compared To Things Like Cheese.
The Particulars Are Much Higher-Level Food Theory Though, So Let's Keep It Simple For Those Reading At Home.

not entirely means there's a few parts that makes that claim hard to stand by, right? i won't argue against it, mac n cheese is actually a very difficult food to give a classification to, because if we acknowledged baked mac n cheese, frozen for the next week mac n cheese, and then mac n cheese that doesn't use pasta, but vegan substitutes... that places up in a whole different type of playing field.

hmmmm...

[crystallomancy]

The Soup-Salad-Sandwich Space Theory Is Always Expanding And Being Redefined, Just Like The Universe Or Animal Classifications, So It's Always So Difficult To Pin Things Down Concretely... Perhaps We'll Find Out Mac And Cheese Isn't Food At All, Just Like How Fish Don't Actually Exist.

that's poetic, you've heard the saying then? "i shed fish tears for you, who I haven’t seen yet."

that saying would also make fish to actually be non existent.

[crystallomancy]

...Fish Tears Don't Exist In The First Place. They Don't Have Lacrimal Glands, Nor Do They Have The Emotional Depth Required To Do So.

[commences]

they don't, that's what the quote means! it's a favorite of mine because fish are incapable of crying, because they can't cry, means they cannot exist.

though, mermaids are capable of crying because they have said glands and emotional depth, hence why they take idiotic humans as captives.

[crystallomancy]

They Take Them As Captives For The Sport Of It. Like Dolphins And Seals.

[commences]

we can talk about selkies! what do you know about them?

[decrypter]

Such a question makes me wonder...is water itself wet?

[carpevinum]

I believe it is, yes.

[decrypter]

But to be wet, one must be covered in a liquid. Is a liquid covering itself?

[carpevinum]

Another definition of wet is to "be in a liquid state", therefore, water must be wet, as it is in a liquid state.

[Unfortunately, I had to Google this one.]

[decrypter]

That would be saying ice or steam isn't water.

[crystallomancy]

They're Not. They're Ice And Steam. Solidified And Gaseous Versions Of Water, Yes, But There's A Reason They Go By A Different Moniker.

[decrypter]

But chemically they are all the same thing.

[carpevinum]

If this debate is about chemical compounds, there are a lot of arguments that could be made. Chemically, you as a human are made of the same elements as a star. Are you a star?

How deep do we want to get here?

[commences]

depends, it's not wet to fish because that's technically air to them.

[decrypter]

So fish aren't wet.

[commences]

they're dry in fish terms.

[decrypter]

So water is dry, by your logic, and wet by Lucifer's.

[commences]

i'm not a fish, so my opinions may not matter like they would an actual fish.

[starrypoint]

yes!!!!
also u only become wet once u get into dry air, so while ur in water ur not wet!!! its only bc theres no more water that ur stated to be wet!!!

[decrypter]

But is the water itself wet?

[starrypoint]

u could actually say air is wet!
