This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I'm going to have to gate keep here.
California Rolls are not sushi.
You can find it on sushi restaurant menus here in Japan, so that seems a rather pointless thing to gatekeep.
You can buy blue colored Ramon in japan. You can get sushi with spam. What's your point? Just because you can buy it in a store doesn't mean much.
Is this really the hill you want to die on? How do you think dishes are invented? People made them, others like it. Enough to get a name and reputation.
If you're still going to claim a California roll isn't sushi, when nearly all of civilization agrees it is, you're dumb.
Ok, so you think my opinion is dumb. Well, i think yours is dumb. See how that works? Just because I'm disagreed with does not make my opinion anyones but mine. Clearly not all of civilization either considering at least one other person gave me even a single upvote. Only sith deal in absolutes.
No, I said you are dumb if this is the way you think.
Didn't say "all" either. Reading isn't your thing.
Bro are you ok? You literally said "all" in your sentence. Just because you added the "nearly" in front doesn't mean you didn't say it. Damn, it's right there yo.
They didn't deal in absolutes, they dealt in conditionals.
Didn't know: "nearly all civilization agrees" was only conditional. Right.
Why is Ramón blue?! Give him CPR instead of chatting here!!
What’s your thought on salmon sushi? It’s a pretty recent dish, introduced by Norwegian salmon farmers to Japanese sushi chefs in the 80’s. Clearly not traditional in the historic sense.
I fucking love salmon sushi
Never tried it. No current opinion here.
Yes technically it's a maki roll, and sushi is thing over rice, but everyone calls maki rolls sushi these days.
"thing over rice" is nigiri. Nigiri, sashimi, and Maki rolls are all types of sushi.
Actually sushi has to have rice by definition so sashimi isn't sushi.
yep, you are correct; i always accidentally lump it in together because of how related/similar they are, my bad.
Damn, you're right. My goof
Guess i was more leaning towards the fact is avocado and fake crab. Like California roll is to sushi what the crunch wrap is to burrito.
Kani and avocado are both widely used in Japan. How are they not legitimate ingredients to you? Kani was literally invented in Japan
I did say i was gate keeping here, right? Or did i miss my first post?
Where you placed the gate makes no sense so I was asking you to expound
Oh, so you're gate keeping my gate keeping?
Usually when someone gatekeeps, they have a rationale. Assuming there was thought behind this was my mistake.
Why are you arguing with logic against an opinion? Seems kinda misguided.

Are you gaslighting us right now?
No. That would imply i don't actually dislike California rolls. I absolutely do not respect them. Not my sushi.
When you're gatekeeping, it's fair for people to open it, yeah? Else, where's the fun?
Ok
