Would have been way funnier to make it all "macaroni" or "pasta" and leave one tiny section for "spaghetti", because somehow that's the distinction people make.
- No, that would've been accurate.
  
  Shush. Don't confuse me with facts.
- In persian "macaroni" is actually the umbrella term for all noodles. So persian macaroni are spaghetti most of the time.
  
  But there are no noodles here, only pasta, noodles are usually in Asian meals

By normal people do you mean the savages that have a palate sophistication of Dhaka's sewage?
- Om nom nom let's eat some kroppkaka
  
  I see your boiled potato dumpling and raise to the almighty jacket potato. Yes, that's considered a "meal".

There's no spagetti on there... just macaroni...
- Pasta corta nowadays. Short pasta. Maccheroni is how they were called by my grand grand mother.
- Might've been the joke
- Sounds pretty sketchy IMO

*pasta
- Yeah, those are all pasta. Spaghetti is all the long noodles.
  
  Spaghetti is 1 type of long noodles. You have spaghetti, tagliatelle, bucatini, linguine, vermicelli...
  
  Puhsketty noodles 😋

Meanwhile Americans be like "they're noodles"....
- Ramen is also classified as spaghetti.
  
  You want Pearl Harbour to happen again... that's how you get Pearl Harbour to happen again

I don't know whether it's a urban legend, but apparently Icelandic has a hundred or so names for snow. We have many specific words for what is important for our survival. 🍝🍕🤌
- Here in Sweden the rumor says that its the Inuits who have 100 words for snow.
  
  Fun info about that for meme aficionados: that expression and its various clones are the basis for the general concept of those reusable templates called "snowclones".

  Here in Australia the rumor is that snow is made up by other countries to flex on us!
  
  I made love to an Inuit lady once and after she had a thousand words for disappointment.
- Same with Inuit. I guess it makes sense when snow is such a dominant part of your life.

Pasta or noodles, actually.

Imagine having some culture
- I know right, disgusting practice!
- Yoghurt is a separate slide

gnocchi is not pasta
- There are gnocchi, gnocchetti (small gnocchi) that are pasta. What you know as gnocchi are properly called "gnocchi di patate" in italian, i.e. potato gnocchis
  
  That's the answer, the gnocchi pastas imitate the shape of the potato gnocchi. I also wouldn't really call potato gnocchi pastas, like if I invite people to eat and say I'm cooking pastas, nobody's expecting potato gnocchi. But I think in Italy they're in the same aisle as fresh pastas. The thing is - and op's picture is correct - that italians actually differenciate between different shapes of pasta, for the simple reason that pasta shapes have functional reasons and different shapes correspond to different dishes.
- Unless it is, of course.
  
  it is made from potatoes

There's also thin spaghetti and flat spaghetti which are made by satan to deceive us.
- Flat spaghetti, known as linguine, are super!
- They're both the spaghetti

It's pronounced pasghetti.
- How is this not just a thing my dad used to say?
  
  I think it's a thing all dads of a certain age used to say.

Isn't there some new pasta shape that was specifically engineered to give maximum surface area for which to be coated with sauce?
- Yes, the Cascatelli! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascatelli
  
  Mfw I try to buy a very Italian sounding pasta and it's only available in the United States.
  Content warning: too much bronzer
  
  NEW NOODLE JUST DROPPED
- Yes, lasagna sheet.
  
  Shape into bowl.
  Fill with sauce.
  Drink sauce from pasta bowl like it was a glass.

The only shapes that matter are big, small, and toob. The rest are only distractions.
- That's what she said

Where shells? 🤌🤌
- Spaghetti

Yo where's the farfalle at? I love me some bowties
- It is already in the pot
  
  You smoke it!?
- Farfalle means butterfly.
  
  Yes. But the pasta is also called bowties by a lot of people lol.
  
  The diminutive for farfalla, farfallino, literally means bowtie

Looks like Desert Pasta to me.

who tf calles noodles spaghetti?
- Who tf calls macaroni pasta?

Even normal people know that Italians are made of spaghetti
- You're the first one to understand the meme
  
  Amazing
