Fun fact: Some of the sandwiches seem to be rotating in the opposite direction. This is due to an optical illusion called the "Silhouette Illusion" [0], first discovered in 2003. If you focus hard on a sandwich and blur your eyes slightly, you can make it change which direction it rotates. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_dancer

I can't see how this is correct. The spinning dancer works because there's no details on it.

I was skeptical as well but after looking into it further I can confirm that it's actually true. The brain is amazing!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

hot dogs and burritos are sandwiches right?

All according to cube rule: Hot dogs are categorically tacos. Burritos typically begin life as a "calzone", but experience most of their brief lives through the lens of a "soup/salad in a bread bowl". Sometimes people prefer to fold a burrito into the "sushi" pattern. Depends on your mental image of a burrito.

Humanity and its culture can't get stuck because of these outdated and despotic rules. It has been a while since I feel hot dogs started transitioning into quiche.

I still don't buy it - looking at these two in isolation:

Very "clearly" spinning in opposite directions.

I am assuming you are joking but I see other people responding as if you aren't.

This isn't true as the spinning dancer illusion only works on silhouettes and not full color images.

I'm not sure if this is going to forestall or foment heated discussion about what is or isn't a sandwich, but it's certainly an attempt to codify what constitutes sandwichness: https://cuberule.com/

We would be remiss not to bring up the sandwich alignment chart: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlignmentCharts/comments/83l9jy/san...

Yet even their "Anarchist" (lower right) square has a rectangular item of food, with a starchy, finger-friendly exterior around a less starchy & finger-friendly interior.

Vs. a chart with chocolate-covered cherries, ceiling tiles, and such...
