minus-squareweew@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 hours agoI 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.
