Viral debate erupts over how to properly eat a sandwich â and what it says about your personality
The way you eat a sandwich can reveal a lot about your personality, it has been claimed.
A photograph showing a common conundrum when eating the classic meal has sparked a fiery debate.
After asking âwhereâs your next biteâ many have been divided, with some insisting thereâs a ârightâ and âwrongâ way to eat a sandwich.
Debaters have been split into three camps, those who taking a bite out of one crust, people who go straight for the more tempting piece in the middle of the sandwich (which is stuffed with the delicious filling) and those who choose to nibble a corner.
I hate the future.
The Unimaginable Horror of a Trump Restoration
It is an overcast, unseasonably warm morning on Wednesday, Nov. 6, and the world has woken up in shock as Donald Trump has emerged as the winner of the U.S. presidential election. Americaâs cities are once again full of mute, stunned liberals avoiding eye contact with one another on the morning commute, as the grim reality of what Trump might do with this power begins to set in. At his victory speech just after 2 a.m., when the networks called Wisconsin, and thus the election for him, Trump took the stage and declared, âJudgment Day is coming for Americaâs enemies, and no Marxist, Harvard leftist, gender-radical, illegal, or criminal thug in our great country will be safe come January.â And in some ways that bleak morning might represent the high point of the next fourâor 40âyears, given what Trump and his allies have in store for us.
This is a worst-case scenario. But itâs far from impossible. A Trump restoration is in the worksâand it should feel like an existential threat to everyone who cares about liberal democracy and the incomplete but tangible social, racial, and economic progress that has been made since the New Deal era.
Un. Imaginable. Horror.
I mean, I guess they doomjack to this shit or something? The left have been doomers since <em>Silent Spring</em> and arch-fraud Ehrlich’s <em>The Population Bomb</em> (with heavy salting of The Cold War, of course) but they really get off on imagining the worst case scenario and then encouraging it.
We all love a little doomsday now and then, and prepping like Mormons, but the histrionics over Trump are darkly amusing.
New York becomes first U.S. city to approve congestion pricing tolls
New York has become the first U.S. city to embrace congestion pricing to reduce vehicle traffic and pollution in its busy urban core.
The board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Wednesday capped a years-long, often fraught review process by authorizing plans to charge drivers a $15 daytime toll to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, which is expected to generate billions of dollars to improve the regionâs mass transit.
Congestion pricing is scheduled to launch in mid-June. The $550 million effort by MTA contractor TransCore to install cameras along the perimeter of the congestion pricing zone is mostly complete.
You will use the mass transit or be destroyed. You will use the mass transit and be murdered. You will use the mass transit and go to jail for defending yourself. GET ON THE BUS! GET ON THE TRAIN! (for your clothes here’s a pretty flower)
The trailer for the movie the song is referencing. (It is age-restricted and can only be watched on YouTube.)
Living Dead Girl (1982) is from the wonderfully cracked mind of Jean Rollin. It’s in French, so don’t bitch at me about subtitles.
The entire film can be watched for free with ads on Tubi.
I was told there was going to be no math.
I lied.
I thought given SF it was going to be “No mĂĄs”…
“I hate the future.”
I’m no historian, but the past also stupid.
Yeah, I think Swift covered this, what three and half centuries ago?
She looks good for her age.
She rejuvenates by eating Kelce’s soul.
I think that’s more indicative than anything else — anyone all anal about how other people eat a sandwich needs help.
Yeah, thereâs no right or wrong way to eat a sandwich except for those who prefer open faced sandwiches. Those fuckers are SICK!
“… and the Dutch!” ? đ
I think the “right” way to eat a sandwich is to put it in your mouth. I would say the “wrong” way to eat a sandwich would be to try to put it in any other orifice.
I swear there was a South Park episode on that topic…. there’s no way in hell I’m going to go look for it to be sure.
There was. B-plot of Red Hot Catholic Love.
Almost 22 years ago!
We must be getting close to Tik Tok asking if we’ve been sitting on the toilet backwards.
I was surprised to find out that the Underpants Gnomes were introduced in South Park all the way back in the second season.
DON’T KINKSHAME ME!
There was once a doctor who treated morbidly obese people. His controversial treatment involved them putting their food in their behind. They were able to get just enough nutrients to survive but still lose weight. One day the doctor entered the exam room and the patient was bouncing up and down in his chair. “What are you doing?” he asked. “I’m chewing gum.”
No right way, except sammich must be made by a woman?
C’mon, not just any woman – a woman that wants to please you.
“world has woken up in shock as Donald Trump has emerged as the winner of the U.S. presidential election”
Shock, fully erect, let’s not quibble.
“”âJudgment Day is coming for Americaâs enemies, and no Marxist, Harvard leftist, gender-radical, illegal, or criminal thug in our great country will be safe come January.â”
Because that would be bad?
Judging from the source, yes? Because if I read that on Twitter I’d give it a like.
If only that were true but Trumpâs a milquetoast â90âs Dem at best. Heâs not even close to being a Jair Bolsanaro for godâs sake.
Line the beltway with his enemies on spikes or crosses like Crassus did on the Appian Way. Maybe all of I95 from Florida to Maine (minus a bridge in MD).
That would be worth fearing. Not an 80s Democrat arguing with the deep state and temporarily making the country prosperous again.
(minus a bridge in MD).
That bridge carried I-695.
I-95 doesn’t cross that bridge (only trains did!) but it does go through a tunnel where a whole bunch of heads could be displayed at the entrance.
My mistake. When I drive north, I take the westerly route through Charlottesville to avoid the imperial capital.
It is literally nothing but a list of things the left likes.
tangible social, racial, and economic progress that has been made since the New Deal era
That can’t be, the Reagan era destroyed everything. At least that’s what liberals told me then.
Americaâs cities are once again full of mute, stunned liberals
‘Once again’? They were anything but mute in 2016.

“New York becomes first U.S. city to approve congestion pricing tolls”
Unless Google scrubbed it, weren’t there articles decrying Uber for doing just this?
https://nypost.com/2023/09/29/new-yorkers-rip-uber-lyft-for-surging-prices-during-storm/
Ah yes, thank you. Sometimes I can’t keep up with all these 180’s, it’s like I’m watching Tony Hawk.
Look. When a private company is doing it, it’s exploiting those who chose to use the service. When government does it, it’s to save the world.
Why do I think the Lyft/Uber surge pricing is going to wind up being much more open than the NYC surge pricing.
Or, â government is the word for things we do together â
Dallas currently has a toll road under 635 (one of the busiest loops) that is congestion priced so I do not think NYC is first.
Actually now that you mention it, I live just off a highway that has an express lane which uses surge pricing. They just don’t call it that.
Maybe the difference is you literally can’t access parts of the city without paying the price.
Flyover country doesn’t count.
Toll lanes on the 91 between Orange County and riverside have had congestion pricing since they were built 35 years ago
And more than a little exasperating. It isn’t like the guy wasn’t actually President before. Were there right-wing mobs roaming the streets to pluck out the stout-hearted liberal Resistance? No? Then maybe stop projecting and shut the hell up, idiot weasels. (Yes, I’m in a mood today it seems… sorry).
If we were electing Millei maybe some of their histrionics would have merit as at least their sacred programs would be cut — but at this point, we’ll be lucky if Trump even trims down the IC (and they were flat out at war with him) or pardons some of the J6 crowd. I expect very, very little — I’ll just be happy to get the current crop of Executive Order assholes away from the levers of power for a while and hope we might get the economy going again.
And that this time the germophobe might not listen to his dictator/doctor wannabes.
I expect him to promote more drilling for oil, which will be fought tooth and nail in the courts. And to stop inviting people over the border, which will be fought tooth and nail in the courts.
Agreed — I think just about anything we want him to do will be followed with “which will be fought tooth and nail in the courts.”
Well, well chosen courts as well I suspect.
“You can’t repeal Biden’s EOs. You need Congress to pass a law for that.”

Jussie waves hello.
“The entire film can be watched for free with ads on Tubi.”
Would it be good for a Thurs?
That seemed like a good place for some cross promotion.
I think so. It’s not as slow and atmospheric like most of Rollin.
Running it through https://hearo.live/ also cuts out all the ads.
For sheer batshit + boobs, The Nude Vampire is peak Rollin. Sadly, I don’t see it streaming anywhere.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065168/
He really should invest in a proper perch away from his actresses for his bats then.
I’ve seen Requiem for a Vampire. Not atmospheric, but not good either. Mostly one of the Castel sisters getting naked.
That website sucks. It has almost no information about what their app does.
“With Ads” means it’s not free. That time is far too valuable to waste on ads.
I will continue to happily do my part to keep NYC (and most other major metro areas if I can help it) congestion minimized.
And I sincerely hope the WfH trend can pick up and lots of other people get to do the same…. and that the cities can work with the tax base of the people that actually want to be there instead of leeching off of everyone who has to come in just to suffer in a cube for 8 hours.
NYC basically dies if everyone who could WFH does WFH.
Three presidents in town tomorrow fund raising for sleepy Joe. Rain all day.
Itâs going to suck going to the office.
Wait — so we get a mid-week bonus Glibflick now? Neat!

Thanks for the Slate link SF. These things always amuse me.
And like Hungaryâs Viktor OrbĂĄn, Trump would surely relish the opportunity to sign legislation banning public school teachers from going on strike.
He won’t fire them? What kind of dystopia is this?
Fire? Did you mean fire on?
If they want to be considered essential employees, they can be treated like cops and firefighters. No going on strike.
Carryover from last thread-

Not To Be Outdone By Trump, Biden Releases Own Version Of The Quran
“A Nigerian woman is facing up to seven years in prison for writing a damning review of a can of tomato puree, after its maker accused her of damaging its business.
Chioma Okoli, a 39-year-old businesswoman based in Lagos, the country’s largest city, is being criminally prosecuted and sued in a civil court after she made negative comments about a product made by Nigerian foodmaker Erisco Foods.
She called on her 18,000 Facebook followers to share their thoughts about Ericso’s Nagiko Tomato Mix, after sharing a picture of an opened can of the product and saying it was too sweet….
The businesswoman, who’s currently pregnant with her fourth child, was arrested by plainclothes officers from Nigeria’s national police in September while she was in church, and told CNN that she was made to stand around in a leaky cell for hours.”

They should hold the trial in Italy.
I do not look forward to another Trump presidency. The last one was a mixed bag of good and bad policies and actions.
I do, however, totally fear another term with Biden in charge.
So go Trump!
I just hope the revenge tour is actually a revenge tour and not just a bunch of hot air. Aside from that, my day to day isn’t likely to be much impacted by who inhabits the figurehead position of the largely obsolete 3rd of 4 branches.
Trump is only full of hot air. He may as well be one of those flailing figures at used car lots.
This guy?
I dunno. The “figurehead” we’ve got now directly did a lot of damage to my checkbook (see: closing the Keystone pipeline, for starters) without Congress’s say-so.
“The $550 million effort by MTA contractor TransCore to install cameras along the perimeter of the congestion pricing zone is mostly complete.”
Sweet Jesus. I wish I owned one of these consulting businesses. 550 million.
Yeah but how much of that is kicked back?
The story seemed familiar…
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/31/nyregion/budget-new-york-congestion-pricing.html
That was 5 years ago! So they had a plan, and then spent 5 more years planning some more.
Very typical for government work.
Some of it is definitely a scam by consultants.
CisCore would have done it for less, but the MTAâs DEI chief rejected their bid.
Will there be a two drink minimum to go along with the Manhattan cover charge?
Jon Stewart found to have overvalued his NYC home by 829% after labeling Trumpâs civil case ânot victimlessâ
Jon Stewart is facing online backlash after the comedian opined on air this week that Donald Trumpâs civil real estate case for overvaluing his properties was ânot victimlessâ â when it turns out the price of a previous home sale finds Stewart doing the exact same thing, The Post has learned.
In 2014, Stewart sold his 6,280-square-foot Tribeca duplex to financier Parag Pande for $17.5 million. The propertyâs asking price at that time is not available in listing records.
But according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market-value at only $1.882 million. The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174.
Records also show that Stewart paid significantly lower property taxes, which were calculated based on that assessor valuation price â precisely what he called Trump out for doing in his Monday monologue.
Pande, who purchased the penthouse from Stewart, then resold the property at a nearly 26% loss, according to the Real Deal â at just over $13 million â in 2021
The prosecution is being lined up as we speak . . . . . right?
Meanwhile, the New York assessor valuation on Stewartâs former penthouse is the exact same citation method and metric that New York Attorney General Letitia James used to value Trumpâs private and personal properties, and then sued him for inflating those assets.
Get him Letitia.
I hate everyone involved.
Stewart’s always been a political hack, but this is the first I’ve heard him being a hypocrite. Not surprising. I wonder how he got it assessed quite that far off.
Of course, the assessors value sounds much more realistic to me.
A Tribeca duplex for less than a million?
Shit, my house in podunkville is worth a half mil.
Preposterous hogwash
Boeing needs to be led by engineers if it wants to pull itself out of its current crisis, Tim Clark, the president of Emirates Airline, said Wednesday.
Boeing said Monday that CEO Dave Calhoun will step down at the end of the year, part of a broad management shake-up. The U.S. aerospace giant is once again mired in controversy following a recent series of mid-flight technical failures, starting with a door panel that blew off of a new Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 midflight on Jan. 5
——-
âTo fix Boeingâs issues the company needs a strong engineering lead as its head coupled to a governance model which prioritizes safety and quality,â said Clark, who leads Dubaiâs flag carrier Emirates.
Boeing needs more diversity and inclusiveness, not a bunch of slaves to physics.
Iâm torn. Iâm a finance guy by background and they make shitty CEOs of most anything but financials.
Engineers are bimodal CEOs in my experience. Really good or really shitty.
I feel like BA needs a really good operations person.
Boeing was historically run by engineers. Moving the headquarters to Chicago was specifically intended to cement the break in that tradition.
Yup. That move was bad news.
Lots of tech cos are engineer lead. I get the history at Boeing, but Iâd want one with lots of operations experience if I sat on the board.
Whether it is a finance CEO, or an Eng CEO, I don’t care, and I don’t think it really matters. What matters is someone with a strong background in success.
IE, if you pick someone who failed up, you are going to fail. Doesn’t matter what their background is.
Iâve personally met quite a few Fortune 100 CEOs. With rare exception non really failed up or were at all dumb.
The unsuccessful ones picked poor subordinates and made bad strategic choices.
Essentially if you have to pay McKinsey to come and tell you what everybody in the fucking place knows, but your subordinate wonât tell you, you have a problem.
Welcome to Boeing and more than a few other companies.
Yeah, that is what I was kinda getting at. I good boss is someone that A) listens and B) wants people to give them bad news. How they frame it is often different (problem or challenge? Same thing, just different perspective) but both can work, and are needed at different times.
Please tell me how you fail upwards? I’ve been trying to succeed up but that hasn’t worked, I might go for another track
By assuring your bosses through your incompetence that you’ll never be a threat to them.
By getting promoted out of harms way.
Trump is only full of hot air. He may as well be one of those flailing figures at used car lots.
Something like this, perhaps

Aviation analysts and former Boeing employees have criticized the companyâs reported sidelining of engineers in its senior management ranks. They note that of the top executives at Boeing, the only one with an engineering background was Stan Deal â the outgoing CEO of Boeingâs commercial airplane division. He is stepping down and will be succeeded by Stephanie Pope, Boeingâs newly named chief operating officer, Boeing said Monday.
They’re setting her up to take the fall!
The way you eat a sandwich can reveal a lot about your personality, it has been claimed.
The woman that wrote this article needs to make me a sandwich.
Wait you say, I haven’t read the article yet so how do I know a woman wrote it?
C’mon man, that’s gotta be a woman author.
OK, OK, I’ll read the article.
Hmm…. cites an Aussie news site. Includes link to Aussie news site. Let’s see….
Link takes me to the Aussie news site, but not the original article. Dammit.
Here is the original article. And yes, written by a woman.
On second thought, she can make Tres Cool a sandwich.
Oh hell yeah!
But she’s an Aussie, and that accent grates on my ears. The only thing more aurally unappealing to me is some broad with and Afrikaan accent.
Have to pass, unless I can keep her quiet….
She looks just like a coworker of mine.

You want a grating accent? Look to the northeast US.
Joisey, Lawn Guy Land, New Yawker, Bostonian – ye gads, the land is just chock a block full of grating accents.
Down here that would be exotic and charming.
I find Seth Efricans appreciate having their accent correctly identified.
That is one I don’t mind.
I like midwestern guys, but up east Yankees are grating.
But that’s nobody’s fault and small of me: I should get over it.
I talk so slow and drawl terribly, not the smooth or landed way that a Shelby Foote might use. I think it’s okay to think I’m a hick, but I don’t want to change….excecpt….maybe…..to be even more Southern.

It certainly sounds like they lost their way on process control.

Greetings from Dauphin Island, Alabama, where I’ve ventured to annoy some of the local fish.
Unfortunately, yesterday’s trip was canceled due to a nasty storm front that passed through, and today’s excursion got eighty-sixed by strong winds and high waves. Tomorrow’s my last chance to not go home empty-coolered.
To add insult to injury, despite the island’s name, I’ve been here two days and have yet to see a single dauphin. I think they just wanted to attract unsuspecting tourists, and gave the place a misleading moniker on porpoise.
Good luck! Any size or quantities limits on Dauphins?
In France they tended to be on the small size
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=french+dauphine&atb=v198-1&iax=images&ia=images
I hate to break the news to you, but they’re junk.
The French are so offended by your wording that they immediately surrendered.
How long will it take to rebuild the Key Bridge following its collapse?
Such expertise!
I’m not an engineer, but I think I can guess why this bridge failed.
This isn’t the first ship strike to a pier.
Generally, it’s the lack of barriers which would allow the ship to strike something other than a bridge structural element that are now becoming standard practive in bridges which cross shipping lanes.
What is unanswered is why the ship went haywire, but the bridge is no mystery.
I’m not sure how you remove that type of vulnerability. Maybe add some torpedo tubes.
Well eventually the sea will rise high enough that ships will sail over the bridge, right?
There was a photo from a different angle thar showed the ship from the side and the bridge more down the roadway. It was very clear from that angle why the boat flattened the bridge. The bridge looks like a little bit of tin foil scattered across the bow of the huge ship.
Yikes.

TOS promotes their latest hit piece on X. The reaction has me asking… how many of the responses are from you guys?
https://twitter.com/reason/status/1772957006217011203?s=19
“One of the best things to enhance Mileiâs credibility as a libertarian is a ridiculous hit piece from Reason.
Badge of honor.”
“Only Reason could write a hit piece on the greatest and most successful libertarian in the world on the grounds that he’s not libertarian”
He probably got snippy with the Jacket at a cocktail event or some shit.
His chainsaw act triggered Froot Sushi.
Because no matter what he does the only thing that matters is what label is slapped on him. No true libertarian? I will have me some of that.
I’m going to devil’s advocate a bit on this and say it was an interesting article, not written by anyone I’ve read at TOS before. Much as I like Milei there are a few inarguably unlibertarian directions his administration is taking. He’s a big drug warrior, which is generally not something most of us here espose. THe administration is purportedly considering reinstating a military draft.
As good as he is, it’s not unfair to note places where he could improve.

Good job.
I miss when that was in sight for me. Don’t ever go back.
I think it’s coded into me to stick with what I can afford. Debt has always been an “I have no choice” circumstance. The Mortgage was cheaper than my rent, the car loan was unavoidable if I wanted to remain employed, the roof loan was necessary to keep my house intact, etc.
While there are annoyances with my current house, I don’t want the debt required to move.
Congratulations.

A. How do I eat my sandwich? Any damned way I please, that’s. how.
B. Never forget: With them it is all projection all of the time. I do wonder what they will do. They are already planning a soft coup by not certifying the election should he win. That is an open admission that they dont give a shit about elections, our system or the will of the people. I expect him to win with the Biden admin campaigning so hard for him. We will see what they do.
C. I dont give a fuck. NYC can sink into the sea and all of the leftist shitbirds with it.
The terror over Trump is somewhat bizarre. I mean, I’ve not voted for the guy and I doubt I will this year but…you have a four-year track record wherein he did none of the things these people fear he’s going to do if re-elected. What was his 23rd-dimensional chess? Govern according to norms for four years and then, having lulled the country asleep mount a coup after he was reelected? Mussolini took complete power within about 14 months, Hitler within two months, the Bolsheviks in 4.
For three years we had a separation of powers between Trump and the Deep State/Uniparty. And then when coronavirus emerged, both sides united on lockdowns and social distancing. The modern version of bipartisan, i.e. both evil and stupid.

“NJ politician under fire for sharing meme
Paula Gilligan, a councilwoman in the tiny Bergen County town of Glen Rock, said in a statement posted to the municipal website Sunday that she shared the apparently tongue-in-cheek, rainbow-colored meme to her Instagram stories because she was mocking pro-life âpersonhoodâ laws.
But the post â which said that âEaster eggs are aborted chicken babies that are painted in drag for small children to worshipâ â struck a nerve in the wealthy town of about 12,000 perched 20 miles northwest of Manhattan.”

Q: Does anybody keep a stash of cash in their house for any reason, say, $1,000 or thereabouts? I’m a little concerned about doing so because reasons, but I also feel we should be keeping a little bit in the house.
Yes, about five grand in small bills. It lives in the gun safe.
[takes notes of where to steal Sheldon’s cash]
/sarcasm
You may want to note that it’s the cash living in the gun safe. The guns are more accessable for use against you.
Did that gun safe get lost in a tragic boating accident?
I have about 1000 in one of my gun safes.
Derecho in Iowa took out the telephones and all credit/debit transactions for a week or more in some locations. Many, many people were fucked.
Samesies. Around $1K in small bills.
Given how often I’ve lived in a place that has either been burglarized or was at risk of being burglarized, I don’t keep cash on hand.
Isn’t any place at risk of being burglarized?
It’s a balance of probabilities. And you know it.
One of the places I’ve lived was burglarized by our Landlord, who was a piece of shit.
There are neighborhoods where burglars are not going to go out of their way to get to.
Well, many of you know why I’m a little gunshy about this.
Need a loan ?
If someone gets into the gun safe, I have much bigger problems to worry about than a thousand in cash.
Yes?
Nice try,

Mostly for the same reasons as others: just in case money. Also, I’ve seen stories of a neighborhood being hit by a storm with a lot of tree clean up.
