   “can’t have your cake and eat it too” is such the weirdest saying in the english language

   why can’t i? isn’t that the whole point of having food?

     @lapin the way it's said is backwards to make sense it's "you can't eat your cake and have it"

     @lapin If you eat the cake you no longer have it. It's a point about decisions where one option invalidates the possibility of the other.
