@noiob yeah i know it just feels like a weird thing to have a standard for

@Felthry @noiob

Centuries of capitalism has proven if you don't have some sort of written standard people will do whatever and claim it's something it's not

@Felthry oh my god i was joking but LOOK AT THIS https://www.iso.org/standard/38250.html

@Nine @Felthry I was about to tell you "I guarantee you that exists"

@Nine they probably have one, they have a standard cup of tea (which reportedly doesn't even make a particularly good cup of tea, but that isn't the point)

@Felthry they literally have an iso standard for testing the quality of "alimentary" (Ie spaghetti types) pasta omfg what reality is this

@Nine if you're doing science to something, you need to make sure you're doing the same kind of science to it that everyone else is

@Felthry i mean this is fair but i have no idea what kind of science would involve in depth quality testing of spaghetti.

...

wait... *peers at Undertale* .... maybe I do know what kind of science :o

@Nine food science of the sort that food companies might do to determine the best recipe to use to be as tasty and still cheap as possible?

@Felthry ...dang that's a good point.

@Nine or like, sociological science comparing traditional pasta recipes from different places maybe
