Well, I can tell you what this discussion would inevitably lead to: first, an elaborate analysis of your gut biome and whether or not that counts as symbiosis, but ultimately the realization that "You" (or "I" for that matter) is not a well-defined concept at all. You're less of an entity and more like an emergent phenomenon. And the same is true for every single thing in the universe. And because that's unbearable, you then try to go smaller and find something--anything--that is "a thing", only to realize that "matter" isn't really that useful of a term either. Because sometimes it's waves and that makes no God damn sense!

Apparently this saying is from ages past when you would rent a cake for a party to impress your quests but usually return it uneaten. I'm betting those were very dry cakes, no jam or whipped cream anywhere... but unlike bread they would have sugar, which was super expensive back then. Reminds me of a museum exhibit, a fancy room had a lemon painted on the wall just to show that the owner was worldly enough to know what a lemon looks like, or at least rich enough to hire a painter who does.

I've argued with many people who, when I use an apology to explain something, they want to argue about the analogy. And it's not because they think it's a bad analogy, they just start arguing about the analogy. It goes right over their head.

The sword thing is on point.

The actual quote is about monogomy: "You can't have your Kate, and Edith too."

It should be "Eat the cake and have it too"

I like seeing sayings being taken literally and analyzed.

Clearly the guy has never been seen a cake fancy enough that it's really not for eating, it's just for looking pretty.

“You clearly have to eat the cake or it will go bad.” To challenge this statement, may I humbly offer fruitcake, as it is seemingly nonperishable, plus it can’t really “go bad” since it starts off bad.

This man speaks the truth

It's like the masterball from pokemon also, can catch whatever you want but only once.

The cake doesn’t stay as cake it turns into waste

Yes, in its current version, it’s a very confusing saying. However, when my mom explained it to me, it finally clicked when I thought about wedding cakes. The couple getting married often order a tiered cake that is ornately decorated (at great expense). They’ll cut the bottom tier and distribute it to guests, but many will take the top tier home and put it in the freezer to eat on their first anniversary. For the year leading up to the anniversary, they can peek into the freezer and admire how beautifully it’s decorated and reminisce about their wedding. The cake is a tangible reminder of their commitment to each other. When the first anniversary comes around, they eat the cake, and no matter how many pictures they take or how deliberately they savor the cake, all they’ll have left of the cake is a memory. It’s no longer a tangible symbol, and looking in the freezer will never bring back the feelings because it’s not there anymore. Now the couple has to focus on other reminders of their special day, because they don’t have that cake one anymore after they ate it. Yeah, it’s kind of silly and not nearly as intuitive as other ways to frame the sentiment, but that’s how I kept it straight in my head when I was younger 😂

First buy 2 cakes, eat 1st cake admire the 2nd cake. Don’t eat 2nd cake until you buy next cake.
