This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Found a piece of bread in a store bought loaf that didn't get sliced properly.

More of a broad than a bread, innit?

Ah, I didn’t quite understand from the first picture. I thought this was like one of those loafs I’ve seen in Quebec where they slice the bread the long way.

I’m confused. Is this more thick bread?

Jumps right past Texas toast to Alaska toast.

All i see is a French toast in the making.

If only we had some kind of a sharp tool at our homes to turn a thick slice into a few thinner slices 🤔

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

We don't. Such a tool does not exist. Any attempt to cut already sliced bread into thinner slices will only ever result in a pile of crumbs and tears.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

OP might be able to run a tape measure through it to separate the bread from the bread material.

Ahh yes...the B R E A D

That is wild.

This is what social media was meant for.

If I hadn't joined the Fediverse, I could have missed this, because of garbage algorithms that don't understand what's important in life.

Thanks for sharing that.

Texas Toast? Naw. That's Alaska Toast!

Not to alarm you, but things like that make me wonder if that's because it fell on the floor and the employee just stuffed it back into the loaf, or did the bread cutter lose several cutting wires, and if so, where did they go?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

One time I dropped a cookie on the floor and by the time I picked it up it was the size of a trash can lid

It's at the heel so more likely the other end of the loaf got stuck as it slid in, and this end never made it to the wires. Then the whole loaf got pushed into a bag as usual, the front end having been dislodged by the vibration of the slicing process.

That bread might be big enough for Texas!

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That’s amazing. I won’t be able to sleep for a week after seeing this.

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

New standard slice for a modern economy.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago
