Rotating Sandwiches – That's It (opens in new tab)

I'm not sure if this is going to forestall or foment heated discussion about what is or isn't a sandwich, but it's certainly an attempt to codify what constitutes sandwichness:

Fun fact: Some of the sandwiches seem to be rotating in the opposite direction. This is due to an optical illusion called the "Silhouette Illusion" [0], first discovered in 2003. If you focus hard on a sandwich and blur your eyes slightly, you can make it change which direction it rotates.

Need more old-school absurdity like this on the web these days.

Imagine opening Uber Eats and looking for a restaurant to order from. You are scrolling and they all look the same, but suddenly... What is that? That can't be right, this one has spinning pics of all the food they serve? HECK YEAH I'm ordering from that one

Why are VCs not backing more projects like this?

To lay this to rest:

Should a tear occur such that the bread around a hot dog separates into two discrete pieces, it is then a sandwich. Therefore a hot dog is a potential sandwich in the same way that an egg is a potential chicken.

Almost like the old Hamster Dance ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampster_Dance ) has been reincarnated...

Amazing - why aren't there any burritos in the rotating sandwich list?

Also you should create a bunch of rotating sandwich NFTs - if you went back two years you could a millionaire off those NFT sales.

The spirit of zombo.com is alive!

Sandwiches 10 and 25 rotate in the wrong direction, please fix ASAP!!

28 rotating to the right, and three to the left.

Two word title, creator's contact info, content, end. The platonic ideal of a single-purpose website. It's beautiful.

The backend isn't quite so clean. It has a bunch of superfluous Wordpress template cruft, even some trackers my ad blocker had to catch. Still, I like it overall.

Are these sandwiches AI generated?

This is a good website to demonstrate the Pulfrich effect! Squint your right eye or cover it with sunglasses, and watch the magical sandwiches pop out of your screen.

I really wish online stores utilized this to convey dimensions and material texture better.

Thank you, now I'm hungry

Even more rotating food is available at the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/rotatingfood

I hope there'll be a collab with https://www.instagram.com/sandwichesofhistory

In case you think NeRFs don't have any useful applications

I like how some are cleanly cut in half, while some have been half eaten. Just to keep it from feeling like it's repetitive.

Are these done with NeRFs? Feels like they are but could just be lots of photos around the objects. Curious if anyone knows.

This gonna pivot into sandwich social network

That's why I pay for the internet

Reminds me of

  * bad.horse

  * ascii star wars

Also makes me hungry.

These are all gifs. No weird technical trickery at all. But it's well presented.

I thought it was going to be some animation: spin css, but it is just a bunch of gifs.

This website needs a Little Luca Ultimate club sandwich almost as much as I do.

Sir, I come to make a complain about no milanesa sandwich.

I hope this issue will be fixed soon.

It would be nice if restaurants used this technique for their menus.

...but there's a rotating hotdog. That's not a sandwich.

Is anyone elses CPU almost melting when this page is opened?

What's the timeline for iOS/Android native apps?

a billion times better than facebook/instagram/pinterest. exactly how it should be.

What's a hot dog doing there?

it might be pastrami on rye time!

Is there an API for this?

Can we have a chip butty?

Thanks now I’m hungry.

U all just hungry?

are these NeRF captures? looks pretty good!

Hot dog and gyros. Yeah, well about those...

no open sandwich? meh, this seems very US centric
