There's lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa

Those "Is a gyro a sandwitch? Well what about a tortellini?" conversations always get annoying because people don't know how to keep them going. Casual taxonomical pedantry is fun and righteous, but only if people know how to play. "Is an onion a sandwich? What about a glass of water?" Obviously not. Be serious.
Lemme tell you how to upgrade your game:
"What is the least-sandwich sandwich? What defines the outermost realm of sandwitchdom?"
"What analytical razors can we use to separate sandwiches from non-sandwiches?"
"What food is most like a sandwich while not being a sandwich?"
"What is the most sandwitch sandwitch?"
"What was the first sandwich? What does the ur-sandwitch tell us about the nature of sandwitchdom?"
"Can you process a sandwich until it is no longer a sandwich? At what point does it lose its sandwich-ness?"
"When does a non-sandwich become a sandwich? i.e. When do the ingredients become a sandwich?"
"What is the simplest possible sandwich?"
"What is the most complex possible sandwich? Is there an upper limit on sandwich complexity?"

It's really problematic for you to post about dragon fucking. Everyone knows that humans can't consent and that dragons should be with their natural mate, the humble Ford F150 :/

A software tester walks into a bar. Runs into a bar. Crawls into a bar. Dances into a bar. Flies into a bar. Jumps into a bar. And orders: a beer. 2 beers. O beers. 99999999 beers. a lizard in a beer glass. -1 beer. "qwertyuiop" beers. Testing complete. A real customer walks into the bar and turns on a screen reader. The bar goes up in flames.

In a monumental discovery for paleontology and the first of its kind "Mummy of a juvenile sabre-toothed cat Homotherium latidens from the Upper Pleistocene of Siberia"
Abstract The frozen mummy of the large felid cub was found in the Upper Pleistocene permafrost on the Badyarikha River (Indigirka River basin) in the northeast of Yakutia, Russia. The study of the specimen appearance showed its significant differences from a modern lion cub of similar age (three weeks) in the unusual shape of the muzzle with a large mouth opening and small ears, the very massive neck region, the elongated forelimbs, and the dark coat color. Tomographic analysis of the mummy skull revealed the features characteristic of Machairodontinae and of the genus Homotherium. For the first time in the history of paleontology, the appearance of an extinct mammal that has no analogues in the modern fauna has been studied.

I know they're named after him but for reasons I can't fully articulate it's hilarious that the guy who invented zeppelins was named Ferdinand von Zeppelin
