Why did we grow up in a world where people repeat phrases that don't make any damn sense
Why did we grow up in a world where people repeat phrases that don't make any damn sense
Why don't you let China turn your desert green. You kangaroo dick sucker.
but 'have' and 'eat' are not synonyms in this context.
What, retarded op
It means you can't have your cake and eat it too
I don't know how to make it any simpler
Thankfully that sort of shit is falling out of favor what with massive amount of meme churn at any given week.
Once you’ve eaten your cake it’s gone, so you can’t both have it and eat it simultaneously.
If you eat your cake do you still have it? Dumb frog poster
Have as in still own
Eat as in well eat.
So you can't spend £100 and also still have that £100
So you want to earn more money but you dont want to do overtime. Well you can't have both.
I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
you can own a cake or you can eat it right now and it's gone, but not both simultaneously. Are you dumb?
i know. ops problem is that he didn't understand that and thought the sentence didnt make any sense.
If you eat eat your cake it's gone so you can't eat your cake if you want to have it.
If you want to have a cake you can't eat it so you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Also the word has become a device to describe a area-denial puzzle impossible situation where you can't go through the door unless you press the button, but if you press the button you can't go through the door, and you so the Fruition of the koan is: "This Job requires you get a friend to press the button so you can get through the door and jam it open".
"Can't have your cake and eat it too"
Which means an additional person is required to clear the obstruction, so that you can buy your cake, bring it home, and eat it.
The having of the cake is the goal, the getting through the door, the eating of the cake is the performance of the work, and so over the years the device was used by people who were not properly educated in communicating with game theory 3, that what we want is obstructed by something that prevents it from occurring, and we have to defeat either the thing preventing the cake having, or defeat the thing preventing the cake eating, before we can simultaneously have and it eat it at the same time.
It's a troop alarm, that the thing I want has hoops to jump through which require shattering a defense system. It makes perfect sense if you've seen it used correctly by smart people.
This Exclusion problem that occurs to prevent an exploitation, is one of the first tricks that explain the orgin of life. Thse things in molecules, were what gave rise to living material from non living. And they appear everywhere you care to find them.

You can't drive your car and have a full gas tank. You can't put predators and prey in a place and have a socially optimal solution.

diviersity is our strength
Yeah, the phrase make no sense. It's still catching on. Somehow.
Yes, if I had just eaten the cake, by definition, I have it in my belly.
it should be eat your cake and keep it, then it wouldn't filter so many low IQs
The phrase is just retarded and I'm sick of hearing it
What can you do? Phrases like this are a diamond dozen
Who the fuck do you think has the cake if I just ate it? Nobody else but me could possible have a cake I just ate, I own it to such a high degree, it is literally part of my body now, if I get a medical implant, do I not have that either?
people
Because it does its just wrong.
The real phrase is cant eat your cake and have it too.
If you eat it, its gone, you dont have it.
The other way is indeed nonsense, the purpose of having a cake is to eat it.
A lot of sayings make less sense now because they refer to things that longer exist or people arent exposed to, like farming things
Ice ice baby amrite boyz??
when you eat it the cake is used. you cant use it the next day because you shat it out. you cant keep your cake while also using it.
If you eat it, its gone, you dont have it.
No, if I eat it, it is inside of me, I have it to pretty much the greatest degree I can possibly have anything.
If I eat a buffalo nickel does that mean I don't have the buffalo nickel anymore too?
No, the cake is consumed as in it becomes part of me, the only way I can functionally use a cake and its nutrients is by keeping it in my belly.
No, you dont have it. Having means ownership, meaning you can say sell it or share it.
Are you retarded, dont understand words, or just pretending to be?
If you didnt eat dinner, how would you feel?
nigger
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps
Head over heels in love
The above dont make no fuckin sense. Normally your head is above your heels anyway.
Is a carbon copy of
Like a broken record
The whole nine yards
Throw down the gauntlet
References some olden stuff fuckin boomers find ancient
stfu faggots, it makes no sense even if you explain it 1 million billion times.
a cake is suppose to be eaten
If you eat eat your cake it's gone so you can't eat your cake if you want to have it.
You dont have to eat your cake in one sitting. Eat a couple of pieces and save the rest for tomorrow. That is called rationality.
The original quote is reversed, you can't eat your cake and have it too. Fun fact, the autistic desire to be correct on this fact is how uncle Ted was caught. He always made a big deal of using the proper form of the quote and when his brother saw it in the correct form in the manifesto, he tipped off the feds to investigate his brother.
No, you dont have it. Having means ownership, meaning you can say sell it or share it.
Possession is 90% of ownership and possessing something inside of myself is the greatest degree of possession possible.
meaning you can say sell it or share it.
So does that mean you don't have a brain since you can't sell it?
and then you dont have it anymore
eat your brain and then come tell me you still have it
That is exactly how you got mad man disease, though, you filthy zombie.
Chinese have better idioms than English
Hey ma'am, do you like them better because US idioms imply all women are whores, but Chinese idioms imply all women are virtuous?
Modern zoomer shit that will not have a staying power because the internet will push this shit out to make room for more new shit:
fr fr no cap
sliding into my DMs
it's a vibe
he ate that up and left no crumbs
my wig flew off
it's giving me...
he understood the assignment
major cringe
touch grass
main character energy
Admit it. You say all of that shit above. I am onto your bullshit
No, this idiom is frowned upon by feminiggers
main character energy
It's called aura farming now. You boomer are sooooo behind.
It doesn't make any sense. It should be taboo to say this gay line
insta reels aah comment
you can't have a full barrel and a drunk wife at the same time.
...ahh...
Another fuckin zoomer speak.
This aint it, chief.
Luckily boomer memes are dying out. You cant teach an old dogs new tricks!....Im not a dog and also I have the internet now so I wont stop learning, unlike boomers who stopped learning last century.
You have it in your belly.
It is what it is.
its not a brain anymore
You cant go shopping and still keep all your money
What are the Chinese/East Asian proverbs called exactly?
They always seem very based, short and to the point.
The cake will spoil eventually so not eating it doesn´t make any sense. Unless you don´t like cake which begs the question of why you have one in the first place so if that is the case you might as well give to someone that does.
i will eat half and still have some for later
It's called music and religion, it's been a thing for quite a while.
Why not? You dont have to use up all your money in one go. All your money refers not only to what's on you, but also all your assets, bank accounts and shit.
Wouldn't that be "you can't have your cake and ate it too?
You can't keep your cake after you've eaten it?
Once you've eaten it, it's gone. That's why you can't have yoir cake and eat it too, because once you've eaten it you've already had it.
"cringe" is not going anywhere for a while
It requires abstract thinking. You take things too literally and don't explore it.
ok, boomer
My personal faves are
Run like hell
I could care less
Enough of this topic for me.
Yes because you exchange the money for the goods, you don't consume anything in that situation.
It's a doggy dog world
Literally and figuratively you have a cake that you have just eaten.
I could care less
I could care less
It's astonishing how many people get this wrong, even those who speak English as their first language. It's
I COULDN'T care less.
If something happens and you give absolutely 0 fucks, how could you care less then? Can't go lower than nothing. So you quite literally could not care less.
Mashed food inside of you doesn't fall within most people's definition of "having" food, which is a question of availability and possession.
Maybe you should say it that way but nobody does in any region of America I'm aware of
have cake
take one or two bites
have a cake that's also been eaten
Why would you have a cake if not to eat it?
Oh well the cake doesn't persist infinitely no matter what
It's a retarded phrase anon
Have means "have sex with". You can't eat your cake after you banged it, because it will be all fucked up and jizzy
They're called "proverbs" and its a kind of general folk wisdom.
Before the internet, these little phrases of commonly repeated wisdom were essentially proto memes.
one bird in the hand is better than two in the bush
6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other
grass is always greener on the other side.
They're ways to spread simple basic wisdom about reality or human nature.
I've always found "half a dozen" a terribly inefficient way of saying "six".
