The texture and tastes are clearly different lol I can understand not making a big deal of it but they’re different things. Piece of toast is not a croissant, they’re two different types of bread.
It’s only gelato if it comes from the Gelato region of Italy, otherwise it’s ice cream >

Sparkling ice cream >

Did you know it is actually possible to make carbonated ice cream? Did it by accident one time. >

just use dry ice easy >

Yes! >

Don't even get me started on the looks you get when you order 'action man bow tie pasta' at a fancy Italian restaurant. >

Gelato literally just means "ice cream". It's not a proper noun, Italians don't have a different word for American-style ice cream, and they sure don't say "ice cream" when they talk about a tub of Ben & Jerry's. >

Gelato can be ice cream, but itself is not ice cream. All ice cream has minimum 10% milk fat, where as there is no standard for Gelato. >

That's exactly what op said not to do >

OP is an idiot. Legally it cannot be called that if it doesn’t have enough fat. Sure you can call it poop if you want to. But like some of us actually like to use proper words for things. Like I had an ex would called Tylenol “ibuprofen” which made me crazy because they’re different. >

True, my father is still in jail for calling Ice Cream gelato >

Companies. Not individuals as much as they may deserve something for their stupidity >

You can’t even afford to go to a proper womens clinic and we’re the stupid ones? >

You can just drop a couple hundred dollars on a whim? Because where I live a real gyno visit would be like $200+ like sorry I couldn’t afford college so now I don’t have a degree and nothing that pays well will hire you without a degree. >

Maybe try a trade? No degree required to be a plumber or welder, I think. >

I would rather risk it than play in poop. I’m really bored of the terrible suggestion >

To touch on “the fat and air ratios.” By definition, that is what categorizes frozen dairy treats. Soft serve isn’t ice cream. It’s ice milk, but I’d never correct someone because I don’t care. Custard isn’t ice cream due to the high content of egg and being served at a higher temperature. Saying there aren’t differences is objectively false. I do agree that we shouldn’t correct each other, because people care too much about definitions. >

... soft serve ice cream is still ice cream, bro. >

No.  that's why it's called "soft serve" there's not enough dairy to classify it as ice cream. >

Soft serve what? >

If you have to qualify it with a preface then it’s clearly not the same thing. Is a truck the same thing as a semi-truck? Is deep dish pizza the same thing as pizza? >

Even if they’re functionally very similar I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using different terms to recognise different processes and product. Gelato tends to be churned a lot slower than most ice creams, resulting in less air and a richer flavour. 
Might as well start using a blanket term “cheese” instead of cheddar, blue or pecorino cos it’s all just smelly milk right? >

I think what op is saying, to use your cheese thing, is that if someone says, 'I have a cheese burger!' you don't say 'no you have a CHEDDAR burger' or 'you have a PECORINO burger' even if that burger is using those particular cheeses.
Because both Cheddar and Pecorino both fall under 'cheese' so 'cheeseburger' is technically correct.
so someone saying I will have chocolate ice cream when talking about chocolate gelato is technically correct, so don't really need to be corrected. >

People do say “mushroom swiss” burger for that specific kind though. >

But without the mushrooms you wouldn't call it a Swiss burger. You'd at least call it a Swiss cheese burger. >

Gelato is an ice cream, but it's a subset of ice cream. Like how soft serve is a variation of ice cream.
It's different because it's literally made differently. It is a subtle difference, but it's enough to qualify it as it's own thing >

Yeah its all ice cream though which is the point >

True, like I don’t think anyone would be mad at someone referring to soft serve as ice cream lol >

If made correctly, they are actually two different things in the culinary world. 

"But the fat and air ratios between the two are different." No. Your specific ratios don't make it an altogether different product.

Ratios of milk, sugar, & cream aside, Gelato doesn't contain egg yolks but traditional Ice Cream does. They are also served at different temperatures if done correctly with Gelato at the warmer temperature. 
So yes, despite having very similar tastes they are different. >

Is gelato vegan? >

Fantastic movie >

Pasta is just noodles >

Noodles are usually made with flour milled from common wheat. Pasta is processed from durum semolina, which is coarser than typical flour. However, that difference is not always so cut and dried. >

That’s not accurate. In northern Italy, fresh egg pasta is made using 00 wheat flour, not semolina. Semolina is more common in the south. Both are “pasta”. >

Can’t trust the fucking internet. >

I think it’s probably when searching in English, getting more American websites, and I seem to recall a lot of Italian American immigrants came from the south, so it could be that semolina is more common there.
Interestingly, while semolina and 00 wheat are the most common, in some regions here they have specialty pasta made out of all kinds of flour. For instance, there’s Pizzoccheri made from buckwheat flour and Piccagge from chestnut flour.
