Salad Theory
A comprehensive, precise, and pedantic branch of set theory pertaining to food categorization.
Background
In our office, we sometimes enjoy pedantic conversations where we attempt to properly define ambiguous terms. Naturally, when the sandwich controversy took the world by storm around 2016[3], we were interested.
We talked a lot about sandwiches, then went beyond. The sandwich debates spun off numerous side discussions regarding the categorization of other foods. Fatefully, one coworker raised the question of whether a salad could be called a pizza.
The answer to that question shocked and appalled us. Inescapably, a pizza was actually a salad.
Many heated lunchtime conversations ensued. We attacked the problem from different angles. We debated the merits of novel definitions. People got sick of it and avoided some of us at lunch.
But the truth could not be avoided. Begrudgingly, the office pedants were forced to reach an agreement: All edible foods[1] are salads.
We wrote up our conclusions in an internal document in May 2017. We were content to keep this dark knowledge to ourselves, but alas. Spurred by the release of food category theories which clearly misrepresent the nature of salads[4], the time has come to share our findings with the world.

everett@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•We all know grammar Nazis. What incorrect grammar are you completely in defence of?4·9 days agoEm dashes are supposed to be padded with something like a half-space on either side. Some computer systems do proper kerning and will space them out automatically if you don’t manually add spaces, but most don’t do it. Like you, I would just add full spaces because em dashes practically touching the words is bullshit.

Maybe try again, and start by imaging yourself explaining it clearly to someone who has never encountered the idea before. (Also, think about whether it really belongs in the Ask community, or might be a better discussion for a different group.)
