As a Dane, I can confirm they are not.
Is a danish a kind of toast?
No, toast is a kind of Danish.

I appreciate this page quite a bit less than you because I found it absolutely unnecessary to have an entire page of blank space between items blown up so large that they cannot fit in my full-screen viewport on desktop. I tried to zoom and the page completely ignored it. It is one of the worst perpetrators of this I have experienced on the web and a pox on anyone that ignores browser controls on their site!
I second this opinion. It looks like a bad PowerPoint presentation but neither mousewheel, arrows or page-up/down consistently jumps between pages.
Ha yeah I tried all of those too - clearly a presentation but there's no way to view it sanely!
I wonder if this is exported from some tool?

"A sandwich is a food typically consisting of vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein bread serves as a container or wrapper for another food type"
But the real question: are monads a sandwich?

#124I love this page because it reminds me of the good parts of the "Web 1.0". - Full of content. - Whimsical while staying on topic. - Uses design elements freely, to best represent the content, instead of pouring the content into a design mold. - Colorful and easy to read. - Obviously made by a fan, for the love of the topic.
It sort of looks like a powerpoint presentation dumped to PDF. But that is not an insult - it is a very nice a fun format, ideal for the attention deficit age we live in.

Somewhere deep underground, in a high-tech laboratory, a group of scientists lean over a slice of toast levitating in some Contact-esque structure... "Dr Gibbons! The zero-point readings are off the scale! We've done it!" The toast briefly flickers into a pizza, then a burrito, then back to being a piece of toast. His brows furrow. "No. This can't be. Shut it down! Delete the files! No one can ever learn of this!"
Startup idea: Toastamak. Breads contained by magnetic field and toasted by high energy plasma. We'll ship the breads with QR-code DRM of course. Subscription model.

Re: The Cube Rule (2017)
#127The idea that we should classify food by shape is clearly erroneous. Our food classifications should be based on method of eating , not by shape! A sandwich is any food that uses a carbohydrate to protect your hands from a messier food, so that you can eat it at a card table without getting your hands dirty (a la the origin myth). Let's go through the things here: Pizza: Yes Sushi: Mostly no (the carbs don't protect…
"a toast sandwich is not a sandwich"
That should on face make you question this heuristic.

> Pie (whole): No (good luck) NZ/Aussie Pies: Yes These are pies you normally eat by hand. Unlike UK and rest of world pies, they have a strong base and sides so you can hold them easily while eating. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMYS1K6Z_eI
Pie has somewhat different meanings in different countries. In the US pie refers almost exclusively to a desert, some sweet concoction with pastry uon one side (bottom or top) usually served as a slice of a larger pie. In the commonwealth (UK et al) pies are more likely to be savory with pastry on all sides. Sometimes baked large, and served as a slice, (pastry on top) but that's not as common. A "real" pie would be…

Well, an apple pie may not have pastry on the top (to some that is an apple tart)
A pork pie is always entirely enclosed with pastry.
Many pubs and restaurants sell meals called pies that are really just a stew with a pastry lid.
