What does ¡pero si…! mean?

ExpressionColoquial

but hang on — you haven't even…

This si is not a conditional and introduces no condition: it points at something obvious that demolishes what the other person just said. ¡Pero si todavía no has empezado! ¡Si lo pone en la puerta! Its job is always the same: producing evidence for the prosecution.

¡Pero si acabas de comer!
The objection, and the evidence, in four words.
