Diogenes Brings Plato a Big Mac

Diogenes running up to Plato holding a Big Mac, “Behold! A cake!” Hotdogs aren’t sandwiches. They are tacos. I don’t make the rules. SALAD TOAST SANDWICH THE CUBE RULE OF FOOD IDENTIFICATION TACO SUSHI QUICHE CALZONE CAKE

A tweet jokes that Diogenes runs to Plato with a Big Mac and calls it a cake, parodying philosophical definitions through a diagram that classifies foods by the position of their blue surfaces. The punchline is the absurd cube-based food taxonomy and the claim that hotdogs are tacos, used as a reaction to pedantic or overly literal arguments.
