I have no idea what a corn dog is. I just hope it is not a living being.

Others have covered the definition of a corn dog.

A "cron dog" however, is when you use cron to schedule a dog command, which is an updated version of the cat command installed via the moreutils package that provides additional features such as colorized output and line numbering, making it more versatile.

THIS HAS BEEN A DUMB LINUX FACT

"Mail the sysadmin every 5 minutes" looks like an incredibly useful script to know.

It's sausage coated with some material made of corn.

Every time I see people talking about them on the web I wonder what it tastes like. Is it sweet?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Often the batter contains honey, so it is somewhat sweet, yes. You're missing out if you've never had one.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Depends on the breading used. Some are sweet, some are more savory.

It is a hotdog inside of a cornbread shell, often served on a wooden stick. It is commonly a kids food though lately I've seen some restaurants make fancier versions https://goldbelly.imgix.net/uploads/showcase_media_asset/image/164647/Original.png?ixlib=react-9.0.2&auto=format&ar=1%3A1&w=1246

In Canada we call them Pogo's because of those shitty frozen Pogo brand corn dogs. Kinda like how Kleenex is used for tissues.

It's just a hot dog on a stick dipped in a corn meal batter then deep fried.

A corn dog is technically a ravioli on a stick. Fight me.

At one point it was at least two living beings, but could possibly be more depending on the quality of your dog.
