In Southern Indiana, where drugs, violence, a failing economy, and diehard MAGA Republicans have complete power, this is the lead story. Welcome into life in small town America.

That’s what they want you to believe.

What if the lions are doing the PR for the zoo…

They were lion

Things like this seem silly but there’s likely laws or protection that use sandwiches in their wording.

Defining things you want them to apply to as sandwiches is easier than changing the law.

Makes more sense than the time Indiana tried to define pi as 3.2. The only reason it didn’t was because a professor from Purdue was in Indianapolis on unrelated business and convinced Indiana’s senate to table the bill.

Of course, we know today that such a thing couldn’t happen since Indiana’s legislature would laugh at the woke lib and pass it just to trigger him.

Well two decimal places invokes the devil, as does rounding correctly.

But why do they even have laws about sandwiches in the first place?

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA ,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

Read the article. It’s a zoning issue.

Something existing does not answer the question about WHY it exists.

Gingerlegs ,

I’m not sure if this particular article explained, but I live here. He signed an agreement that stated that “any food business allowed would be a ‘subway’ style food business”

That’s the issue

Edit: I’m a huge fan of this taco place, just stating what’s going on. I hate subway.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

That isn’t a law or zoning then, just some contract dispute.

Gingerlegs ,

Yea, which is why it’s in court I believe. It’s escalated to this point.

I’m sorry sir, this is a sandwich only zone. You and your parfait need to leave immediately.

Lmaydev ,

Could be food safety, taxes, production rules or any number of things.

@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

The article does not mention any sandwich specific laws, just contract stuff about what kind of restaurant can be in a strip mall.

Someone is going to find stuff like this in the future and think we’re dumb as fuck. They’d be right, but not because of this.

Burgers, Hotdogs, Calzones, Tacos, Burritos and the like aren’t sandwiches.

Legally, at least two of those are sandwiches in the state of Indiana.

Finally vindication for what I have argued for years.

Now, if only some brave state will legally define a pizza as a type of sandwich the damn sandwich conservatives can have their comeuppance.

Zahille7 ,

Pizzas are open-faced sandwiches. I learned this in culinary class in high school. Why is it so hard?

Chicago style is a pie.

bobburger ,

When does it stop being a sandwich and start being pie? Is a sufficiently cheesy grilled cheese or quesadilla pie also? Your comment has really opened a can of worms for me.

Zahille7 ,

Imo it becomes a pie if the crust is over 2" thick/tall

AA5B ,

So is Detroit Style a sandwich or a pie? And is it even a style or a marketing gimmmick?

RedWeasel ,

Is New York style folded a quesadilla?

azimir ,

I think I’ve even had a few Chicago style pizzas that would count as a soup in a bread bowl.

Damn straight, if you ordered a sandwich in a restaurant and they brought you a burrito or taco… you’d be really confused and a bit annoyed that you didn’t get what you asked for.

Finally, some legislation from the middle of the country that makes sense.

But also:

Mexican style sandwiches

That’s what a Torta is!

moody ,

Both can be true.

variants ,

So is a taco a torta?

HikingVet ,

Is a poor boy a philly cheese steak?

moody ,

Sandwich is the more generic word. So a torta is a sandwich, and so is a taco, but a torta is not a taco, and a taco is not a torta. Both of them are specific types of sandwich.

Just like a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.

Take it up with the legislature, pal.

Who does a guy need to bribe around here to get something changed?

The judge also noted that, despite his ruling, he did not consider the plan commission’s actions to be improper, leaving the door open for an appeal

Appeal that shit immediately. Start a Gofundme. This injustice cannot stand.

This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.

dneaves ,

I say there are four categories:

  • “standalones”: anything that is only described as itself. Separation just results in smaller versions of itself.
  • sandwiches: organized or layered arrangements of foods. Can typically be separated into it’s composing parts.
  • salads: tossed or jumbled arrangements of foods. Could be separated into its parts, albeit cumbersome.
  • sauces: perfectly combined or blended arrangements of foods. Can no longer be separated into its composing parts, but differs from a standalone because it was still composed of other foods, and can still be identified or described as all of the parts.
bigbuckalex ,

Does this mean lasagna is a sandwich?

dneaves ,

Correct

PapaStevesy ,

That’s bad taxonomy, because then what’s a taco salad? It’s an untossed taco salad salad. But we still don’t know what taco means. So it’s becomes an untossed untossed taco salad salad salad. Which becomes an untossed untossed untossed taco salad salad salad salad. We never learn what a taco actually is.

XTL ,

It’s like the G in GNU.

PapaStevesy ,

Exactly! I had to look it up, but yes, it is.

BluesF ,

This falls into a common trap. Because we cannot succinctly define a salad in one sentence we decide that it cannot be defined at all. This argument effectively reducto ad absurdums itself by coming to the conclusion that all foods are salad.

If we start from a position where we discount nothing from being a salad, and we have only salads (and soup, seemingly) to base our analysis on, how can we ever identify the boundaries of salad? The whole argument is based on the flawed premise that anything could be a salad.

I realise that I am thinking too hard about this.

AA5B ,

Then what’s a wedge salad? “Ingredients “?

  • 1 side is toast
  • 2 sides is a sandwich
  • 3 sides is a taco
ouRKaoS ,
  • 4 sides is a taquito
  • 5 sides is a wrap
  • 6 sides is a burrito
Wootz ,

Incorrect.

  • 4 sides is sushi / maki
  • 5 sides is a soup / salad bowl
  • 6 sides is a calzone
isles ,

I prefer my sushi infinite-sided, thank you very much.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

a wrap has 3 sides. The two ends, and the rest.

Guy_Fieris_Hair ,

So… a hot dog is a taco?

DrownedRats ,
@DrownedRats@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, by definition

Chainweasel ,

Burritos have an inside and an outside, therefore sandwich.
