I don't need this shit right before bed.
But since you asked... How much cereal do you have to add before it becomes a whole-grain chowder?

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

It's pronounced chow-dah, you heathen!

The cube rule decided this. Cereal is wet nachos.
What's the cube rule and how did it decide this?
Welcome to the future. It is a utopia here, where arguments about food categorization are a thing seen only in historical fiction and meme museums.
Ucrustables start as a calzone and become quiche?

Taxonomists exist for a reason, y'all!
Cereal belongs to the genus Granum and the family Lactoi but indeed they belong to the same order as soup, or Pulmenti. And while these taxonomies don't always line up with food evolution theory, we at least believe oatmeal and cereal are cousins from a similar ancestral food. Soup just happens to be a common, perfect form, like crabs.
Chicago deep dish pizza = casserole
I would never utter those words in Chicago. You will end up as a statistic
For guaranteed suicide in Chicago ... ask for ketchup on your hot dog
I've never been to Chicago but a friend of mine just went there and while he went wandering around, he asked me to research as much as I could about the city to see what he should or shouldn't do.
Every person I've ever talked to from Chicago says deep dish is a tourist thing. I have to agree with the larger consensus that it's not that good. Not awful by any means but it's not good enough for how difficult it is to eat without making a big mess.

I would say it's much closer to gruel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruel
Although soup, stew and gruel are all supposed to be cooked before eaten.
I put dry cereal in the microwave for a few seconds, then add cinnamon, then cold milk.
Changed my life.
Cereal is just crunchy instant porridge.
Does dipping Oreos in milk make it soup?
Cookie Crisp and Oreo O's cereals complicate the question in context. If drowning little cookies in milk is cereal and cereal (for the sake of this argument) is soup, then yes.
Is a Pop-Tart ravioli?
Fruit empanada.
Only if you boil it
I'm just going to quit eating. It's become way too complicated.
Tomatoes are fruits... which means salsa is a fruit salad.
Intelligence is known that tomatoes are fruit, wisdom is not putting tomatoes in a fruit salad

What is a soup? A broth? Some vegetables? Using a bean stock, mixed with a little sugar and maybe another bean for flavor, like vanilla, and a splash of cream you can see a latte is a bean broth bisque.
Only if you heat it up.
Cheerios in cold milk = not soup
Porridge = soup
Counterpoint:gazpacho
Gazpacho is a vegetable smoothie
Additional counterpoint against pedantry: borscht, vichyssoise, okroshka, naengmyeon . . . there are more but my brain is broke.
God damn i want some borscht

Ketchup is a smoothie.
Can you eat soup dry? Then no they're different.
As a tween, one of my favorite snacks was dry ramen noodles.

Unsure, but coffee is definitely bean soup.
Bean broth
Cereal is only soup if you boil the cereal in the milk.
So oatmeal is soup, a bowl of cold Cheerios isn't.
And before anyone comes up with "but borscht is cold" it is still boiled to create the soup and then chilled before serving. You're not just tossing cold beets and water together and calling it soup.
Milk can be pasteurized before consumption. The process varies but can be as long as 30 minutes at 63c. I'd say a bowl of Cheerios with Raw Milk isn't a soup.
It's still a chicken noodle soup if I mix the premade ingredients with a broth and don't cook it.

A hotdog is a taco.
Whenever people complain about "legalese" or technical language, I always think of the hotdog/sandwich thing. Abstruse nomenclature exists for a reason!
