A ravioli is a sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

A calzone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that’s what I said, a sandwich!😉

Salsa is fruit salad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I've never had a fruit salad with the consistency of salsa, but I see where you're coming from. They are very close relatives.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Salsa is a spicy smoothie

Both pop tarts and ravioli are dumplings.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Dumplings are folded over on themselves though right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I don't know.

I want to fight you

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Let's rumble.

I like this statement because it’s successful on two levels. You can also argue over whether “pop-tart” counts as one word or two.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It is also a calzone.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's neither a calzone nor a ravioli. Pop tarts have pastry crusts. Calzones use a leavened crust, and ravioli have pasta crusts.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've never boiled a pop tart

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

What? How do you brew your poptart tea then?

Hmmm id say a canzone is a dumpling, because it's folded over on itself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nah, it's baked in an oven, it's a pasty.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Hmm good point!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Actually, it's a cheesey tomato soup in a bread bowl.

The creator correctly says "jif"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (7 children)

It's an acronym standing for graphic interchange format. Not that I care all that much tbh. Reminds me of parents naming their kid cVIIItlyn. Sure you can pronounce it whatever you want, doesn't make you any less stupid. Also, iirc it was invented by a team, what do the rest of them say?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Only one guy is listed as the creator, Steve wilhite, who says "jif" is correct, famously and infamously making the pronouncement with a gif when he received his lifetime achievement award haha.

Apparently, a common joke around his office was "choosy developers choose gif", a play on jif commercials.
