It could also just be English if you only speak English.

    I only just realized the pun inside “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

    Most people complain that it’s a pointless idiom because if you possess a cake, you are likely able to eat it.

    Having cake is another way of saying eating cake. It’s saying you can’t eat your cake and then eat your cake again.
