      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!

      @TheMistermastermario 5 месяцев назад +39

      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.

    @elisabethbauman6190 5 месяцев назад

    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 😂

    Okay, time to ruin this.
    The idiom "eat your cake and have it too" originated in the 14th-15th centuries, and yes, in that order, as in if you eat your cake then you can't possess it anymore. You can only do one of those things. Then the variation of have your cake and eat it too happened, and the explanation as given in the video, as if the cake is supposed to be something kept in eternal possession rather than a perishable item which is supposed to be enjoyed came about, probably to justify someone's wrong usage of the idiom.
    You can't eat your cake AND have it too. Whereas if you have the cake, please go ahead and eat it, otherwise I will.

    "You can't have your cake and eat it to" comes from when people would rent cakes as ornaments. Buying one was more expensive, but you couldn't eat a rental.

      Actually, no, that’s an urban legend. There are a lot of these myths about the origins of words and phrases out there that sound real but are bunk. Not that they didn’t ever rent fake cakes - they still do that - but the earliest quote is as such: The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs quotes a 1546 compendium by John Heywood, “Wolde ye bothe eate your cake, and haue your cake?” 1546 is way before wedding cakes were even a common thing.

    This was a triumph
    I'm making a note here; "Huge success"
    It's hard to overstate
    My satisfaction
    Aperture Science:
    We do what we must
    Because we can
    For the good of all of us
    Except the ones who are dead
    But there's no sense crying
    Over every mistake
    You just keep on trying
    Till you run out of cake
    And the science gets done
    And you make a neat gun
    For the people who are
    Still alive
    I'm not even angry
    I'm being so sincere right now
    Even though you broke my heart,
    And killed me
    And tore me to pieces
    And threw every piece into a fire
    As they burned it hurt because
    I was so happy for you
    Now, these points of data
    Make a beautiful line
    And we're out of beta
    We're releasing on time
    So I'm GLaD I got burned
    Think of all the things we learned-
    For the people who are
    Still alive
    Go ahead and leave me
    I think I'd prefer to stay inside
    Maybe you'll find someone else
    To help you?
    Maybe Black Mesa?
    That was a joke
    *Haha - Fat Chance*
    Anyway this cake is great
    It's so delicious and moist
    Look at me: still talking
    When there's science to do
    When I look out there,
    It makes me GLaD I'm not you
    I've experiments to run
    There is research to be done
    On the people who are
    Still alive
    And believe me I am
    Still alive
    I'm doing science and I'm
    Still alive
    I feel fantastic and I'm
    Still alive
    While you're dying I'll be
    Still alive
    And when you're dead I will be
    Still alive
    Still alive

    The original version of the saying was "eat your cake and have it too" or something to that effect. An odd side tangent: the use of the original phrase in a manifesto was how an infamous modern terrorist was caught; look it up.

    At first I thought the phrase was like my country proverb "Drinking while Diving" but unfortunately it's actually means doing "two things at once" so kinda the opposite of that cake phrase.(The meaning is similar to "killing two birds with one stone")....
    But there's a similar proverb in my country which has a similar meaning to the "drinking and diving" but it makes no sense at least to me..... "Sailing while building the boat" ... Why would anyone sail an unfinished boat and build it along the way? 😅
