Search Results: public opinion

Okay, hear me out before answering or calling me an idiot. This just came to me, and I haven't slept in like 3 days and it makes perfect sense to my sleep-deprived brain. I also wrote 1.4k words on why it is and know I need a hobby but that's beside the point.

Sandwich - an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or other filling between them, eaten as a light meal.

Cake and bread have nearly the same ingredients, the main difference is bread has to rise, but they're both carb-based foods with similar textures. There are also certain cakes that are half-bread half-cake mutants, so I define cake as a type of sweet bread.

The filling in between said cake slice is arguably similar to a Nutella or peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And there are savory cakes with cold cuts (smörgåstårta, for example.)

Sandwiches aren't usually eaten with utensils whereas cake is, however, I've eaten sandwiches with a fork and knife before and it didn't make them any less sandwichy, so I don't think one could discount cake just because it's commonly eaten with a fork.

TL;DR: Cake and bread have almost the same ingredients and similar textures, so I define cake as being a sweet bread. The filling between cake layers is arguably similar to a peanut butter jelly or nutella sandwich, and I don't believe utensils play a huge role in defining food.

So, ignoring the public's opinion on this, if an individual wanted to define their slice of cake as being a sandwich, could they? Or would that just be absurd?

Just to get this straight: even though I wouldn't be completely disgusted or personally offended by it, I too find it weird if I can see someone's thong or underwear somewhere in public; bet it because they stick out or because their yoga pants are see-through. But what is this inappropriateness about? Is that that we can see other people's underwear lines or perhaps even more than just the "lines"? Is it that if we can see their thong it's very likely the case we can also see their butts (at least when they wear see-though clothes? And which one "weighs heavier" in your opinion?

This question might seem random, but I was out today and noticed two girls' thongs that were clearly visible. So my first thought was like "Don't they know better?" and "Why do some people not know how to dress appropriately, wear belts, etc?". And after that I wondered (kind of on a meta-level) what it is that we find so inappropriate about this. At the end of the day, it's just underwear, no? So theoretically, you could say "what's the big deal?".

Hence my question, and please be honest: what's the big deal? The underwear showing? The "nudity" that might be involved? Or something else?
