You are what you eat.

On a definitely related note, I've recently been thinking it's wild how we build foot paths out of rocks and then put on rubber socks for actually walking on them.

In other words, asphalt is a scam by Big Foot to sell more shoes.

Imagine if all roads were made of soft squishy stuff like rubber or carpet…one can only dream…

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That sounds fucking disgusting

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

no, roads would be soft and nice!

Asphalt and concrete roads are both just elaborate gravel roads

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

packaged gravel

The real hot dog was the hot dog we made along the way

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

The rest of the animal isn’t around a hot dog casing.

I am a meat popsicle.

I thought we were ugly bags of mostly water.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both correct.

Also, there are four lights.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 4 points 1 month ago

There's a fifth, but

[–] LuckyJones@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shh! Not so loud. You'll spook the neighbours.

They're made out of meat

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe we're a carbon based intelligence that just goes through a meat phase.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Statement: While the majority of Lemmy may consist of subpar meat bags that does not mean all are meat bags.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

if you turn the inside of a hotdog into feces it's not a hotdog anymore, this is my hot take

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

It only stops being a hot dog when it comes out of your ass as it is no longer encased.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But by that logic, a human centipede wouldn't be a string of hot dogs.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I don't know if they're dogs, but they're definitely hot. 3===\\\\'=>

[–] tfowinder@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

Your take is shit!

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Surely you become the sausage, not the hot dog? Unless you lay in a long bread roll as well?

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

What else is there to do for fun??

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I lay in your mom’s yeast roll

[–] Prox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We are all hot dogs on this blessed day. 🙌

[–] draconik@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

Speak for yourself

[–] winkly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It’s hotdogs all the way down

[–] anhkagi@jlai.lu 4 points 1 month ago

a hotdog isn't just a sausage, but we might consider ourselves sausages tho

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Only after you wrap yourself in a bread blanket

[–] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not all hotdogs have casings

[–] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh hotdog, you completo me.

[–] RedBauble@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Does this mean a hotdog is positevely invariant?

[–] chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago
