Do you have strong feelings about cheeseburgers? Google's CEO promises to fix their hamburger emoji first thing Monday, after receiving Twitter complaint.
I've been meditating on this subject since last night

Jo Shields on Twitter proposes allowing us to do the same for burgers: ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ง๐ฅฉ๐ (meat emoji has bad support, you may see boxes or question marks). Not only can you then decide the order, but also if you want pickles or not!

That author needs to stop huffing organic solvents.
In the kitchen, because of physics, we assemble starting on the bottom, and build up. Took me a couple re-reads to see that no, I am not mis-seeing these pictures, the writer just doesn't know how to describe them properly.
Having said that, starting from the bottom, duh: bun, mustard (lightly spread on bun, so will not be visible), burger, cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, bun.
This is the canonical hamburger. So it is written and so it shall be made.

Mayo is applied to the topside of the bottom bun. Nowhere else. Mustard goes on the top bun.
*(Also, tomatoes are only appropriate on hamburgers when in season.)

Hm. Microsoft alleges that iOS won't support zero-width-joined emoji, but a Gizmodo article from 2015 says that Apple's already constructing emoji using ZWJ. So either Microsoft is doing it in some nonstandard way (which is historically a thing for them to do) or Apple is using lookups to replace certain emoji combinations with unique glyphs and leaving unrecognized combinations unjoined (also totally in character).

I am surprised at my interest in this. "Who cares?" is what I wanted to mumble, and yet it piqued my interest, and piqued it some more for being so piquey. I am Pikes [sic] Piqued. As a vegan -- did I tell you I'm a vegan yet? 'cause I'm a vegan -- anyway, as a vegan, I feel I should add in my capacity as a vegan that this also applies to fake cheese on a fake hamburger. The "cheese" melts on the "hamburger" or you have failed, and an emoji of a cheeseburger does likewise because either an emoji (and I hate emojis, but still) either an emoji mirrors the essentials of reality or it fails. Maybe I just need lunch.

This has been the subject of a fair amount of complaint, as the Unicode Consortium is seen by some to be wasting their time adjudicating over cute and unnecessary pictograms when there are over a hundred writing systems and an uncountable number of obscure symbols and characters that need approval in order to fully support existing writing systems. There are accusations that cultural bias and western white male nerd priorities made it easier for fictional languages like Klingon to be supported than real languages spoken by millions of people.

Would you like some CARROTROOT and maybe POTATOROOT with your beetroot?
All I need is for everybody to agree on my exact version of consensus reality. Why is that so hard? It's like you people are trying to be difficult, and we are here trying to get serious work done. How are we going to all come to my correct understanding of the way to construct a hamburger when we can't even stop saying beetroot?
This is why we can't have nice things.

Google's positioning of the cheese is blasphemous, simultaneously defying both culinary physics (how do you cook it to drip down the bun like that?)
I mean, honestly.
Presumably you are already toasting your buns under a broiler or on a grill, right? So on the broiler just add the cheese after its toasted. On the grill after it's toasted, flip the bun and add the cheese to melt. The cheese will prevent the bun from getting soggy.
I don't happen to make my burgers this way, but it sounds kind of tasty. Like a patty melt but the bread doesn't get soggy.

Correcting my earlier Unicode nerding-out: Elvish and Klingon are maintained by third parties in private use areas, so they exist by a limited consensus and are not fixed as part of the standard. Elvish has been accepted for consideration into Unicode Plane 1 but it's not there yet.
(And now that I've walked away and thought about it for a while: One reason why constructed scripts can be effectively fast-tracked while living-but-obscure languages seem to languish could be, in part, because there are no real scholarly, political or social complications to the constructed scripts; there is an easy-to-research canonical source for Elvish, but usually no such thing for fading languages with few official references, and including them into an international standard can be complicated when they belong to cultures whose occupying forces are attempting to extinguish them. Still that doesn't fully excuse how the occasional writing system gets in quicker if it's the subject of nerd-culture obsession, like Phaistos Minoan.)

Mayonnaise is glue, going on the bottom helps anchor everything. Of course, if you follow that to it's conclusion, as the current net avatar of cooking suggests, you end up with the order, from bottom up: bun, sauce (thousand island), fixings (lettuce and pickle), (60g) patty, cheese, (60 g) patty, cheese, topper bun.
So not only does this allow better stability, and crunch, maillardization is improved and the eater also gets two slices of cheese. Well, Kraft cheese food singles, technically.

Hamburger With The Lot And Pineapple.
The great schism in Australian burger nomenclature. One school holds that if there's another ingredient, namely pineapple, it's not the fucking lot, is it? The other maintains that the pineapple ring is outside the set of burger ingredients, and thus must be enumerated separately.

Lettuce (and onion, for that matter) on the bottom is the best way. Although the lettuce needs to be shredded. A single piece of lettuce will protect the bottom bun from sogginess, but with nowhere to go the burger juices will run out onto the eater's hands. A nice bed of shredded lettuce, on the other hand, will absorb the burger juices. Thus, from the bottom up: toasted bun, shredded lettuce and onion, burger, cheese, bacon, pickle chips, tomato slice, toasted bun. Alternatively, melt the cheese directly on to the top and bottom buns.

I think it's kind of nice that the CEO is doing this. I don't have a problem with a little whimsy and joy. I am mad that they don't take action on all their problems, but I'm not mad that they do fun stuff sometimes.

Also, it's a hamburger for me on Android 7.1. No cheese. Gboard brings up the same cheeseless glyph for both hamburger and cheeseburger. Someday I'll get around to installing an Oreo ROM, but I'm trying to put off the gumdrop mass murder as long as possible. I don't care for the Apple/everyone else style, so I'm waiting for an easy way to prefer the old glyphs but use the new if it is missing from the old set.

Has anyone, like, tried putting cheese on the bottom of a burger? I've eaten burgers upside-down and they are tastier because my tongue hits all of the flavory parts (condiments, cheese, etc) first.
In response to this mob-mentality that's-just-not-how-it-is-doneism, I will be putting cheese on the bottom of all of my cheeseburgers forthwith.

Vegetables on the bottom bun, cheese melted or place on the burger patty, and sauces either optionally on top of the cheese or applied to the top bun, depending on personal preference.

Getting too precious about hamburgers is, in a way, emblematic of everything that's wrong with America today.
You build your burger your way, I'll build mine my way. No ones hurt by the fact that I put mayo on the bottom bun, followed by shredded cabbage, followed by an upside-down burger (because I can never tell which is the top and which is the bottom bun after their toasted), followed by barbeque sauce, then the top bun.

My burger: Bun, mayo, shredded or diced onion, patty, cheese, tomato, lettuce, sprinkle of salt & pepper, mayo, bun.
If grilled onions are available, skip the diced on the bottom and put them directly on the cheese; skip tomato; put lettuce etc. on top.
Husband insists that mustard belongs on the bottom bun because it's a savory sauce for the meat; mayo goes on the top as a veggie-enhancing sauce. I hate mustard, so I don't do it that way. Neither of us likes pickles, which makes it easy to avoid the question of where they belong.
Tomatoes go directly on the cheese because they're less likely to fall off that way. Veggies are on top instead of on bottom for the same reason - when you set the burger down between bites, it's less likely to slide apart if the heavier contents are on the bottom.
But sometimes I just want a Big Mac. Which I order without pickles, which gets me two bonuses: One, no pickles; two, it's hot and fresh-made, not grabbed from the stack of ready burgers that have been sitting around.

On my honeymoon with Mr. Machine, we went to New Zealand, and one of the best days of my life involved going blackwater tubing under a cave of glow worms, then eating my FACE OFF at Burger Fuel afterwards, where I had, for the first time, a cheeseburger with roasted beets on it. We may subsequently have been late returning our rental car because I insisted on going to just ONE MORE BURGER JOINT THAT HAD BEETS AS A TOPPING FOR THE BURGER.

Is this now each vendor choosing for themselves?
Also more on topic, mayo on bottom, ketchup + mustard on top is undoubtably the true hamburger.

The blobs were removed from the Android OS itself, starting with Oreo (8.0). With the exception of Nexus/Pixel devices, software updates happen at the whim of the carriers and device OEMs, so it's likely your G6 hasn't got the Oreo update yet.

Working at Wendyโs in HS, I was trained in Burger Construction using the WRG/WRG method. (WRG=white, red, green.)
Starting with a toasted bun, assemble as follows:
1. Place split bun on work surface with cut sides up. Lower bun on left, top bun on right.
2. Place patty on lower bun. If this is a cheeseburger, the cheese should be placed on the patty while on the grill, so the heat can melt the cheese to the patty.
3. Apply a schmear of mustard to the patty.
3a. If this a bacon cheeseburger, add (2) slices of bacon in an x-pattern on top of the patty.
THE BOTTOM IS NOW COMPLETE.
4. Apply a schmear of mayo to the top bun. (WHITE)
5. Apply a schmear of catsup (NOT KETCHUP). (RED)
6. Place (4) dill pickle slices. (GREEN)
7. Place 2-3 rings of sliced onion. (WHITE)
8. Place (1) slice of tomato. (RED)
9. Place (1) slice of iceberg lettuce. (GREEN)
BRING BOTH HALVES TOGETHER IN A SINGLE MOTION TO COMPLETE ASSEMBLY. THE BURGER IS NOW COMPLETE.
DAVE THOMAS HAS SPOKEN. SO SHALL IT BE DONE.*
* I admit to committing Burger apostasy by adding several dashes of hot sauce on top of the mustard. It is delicious. Also, sometimes I use ranch dressing in lieu of mayonnaise. It is also delicious.

The first fast food burger with non-standard toppings/dressings I remember was Carl's Jr.'s Western Bacon Cheeseburger - "Charbroiled All-Beef Patty, Two Strips of Bacon, Melted American Cheese, Two Crispy Onion Rings and Tangy BBQ Sauce on a seeded bun" - which I enjoyed over 30 years ago (and still do occasionally). It was their first "specialty burger" and inspired several copycat burger chains to use onion rings instead of raw onions (a trend I like), and regrettably led to a bunch of lesser menu items at Carl's and its later merger-mate Hardee's, the most heinous being their Teriyaki Burger, featuring "(top side)Teriyaki Glaze, Grilled Doleยฎ Pineapple, Swiss Cheese, (bottom side) Red Onion, Lettuce, Tomato and Mayonnaise". So many things there that really don't don't go on the same burger, and I don't care how much goes inbetween - pineapple and mayonnaise?!?

I loathe the ubiquity of cheese on burgers, both in reality and in emojis. The only reason to put cheese on a burger is to cover up the taste of the meat, which removes the entire purpose of eating a hamburger. Go eat some tofu* hippies.

Mayonnaise is glue, going on the bottom helps anchor [...]
This is somewhat like anchoring a clown's foot with a banana peel, since mayonnaise is probably the slipperiest ingredient in the stack-up (except maybe for grilled onions, if properly prepared with lots of grease).

I've seen food know-it-alls refer to butter and mayo as "moisture barriers", so mayo or 'special sauce' could function on the bottom the same way a lettuce leaf could. Some fast fooderies do use all-of-the-above of ketchup, mustard and mayo on some of their burgers just because they can.

All this talk of moisture barriers is silly. If you don't want a soggy bun, toast it. That will give the bread enough structure to absorb the moisture of the condiments and not turn to mush.
Going back to my high school Wendy's days, one of the things we had to do for rush prep was toast packages of buns, put them back in the bag and then they would be stored in a warmer. Storing them in the bags would essentially steam the buns but they'd still hold up.

clew - carrot ... greens are not edible
Yes they are! Maybe a little bitter, but bitterness is an underrated flavour.
Carrot top pesto goes very nicely with anything sweet, roast carrots for example!
In fact it's good with a tasty pasta as it has a bit more poke than basil pesto.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled meat pattie discussion.

It's like a kid who does a bad job copying someone else's essay, then can't respond to questions about it.
