Typical two pieces of bread with something inside.

I think 9 bites, unfortunately with only one bite in the centre being crustless.

Americans really will use any measurement before touching the metric system

Just like the misattributed Churchill quote :

You can trust the Americans to do the right thing, after they tried everything else.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's a bit rich coming from the British.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Well it's a misattributed quote, so it doesn't actually originate with Churchill

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 3 points 2 years ago

... what would the metric unit be? 🤔

[-] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

honestly number of bites in a sandwich sounds like a volume measurement, so cubic centimeters or litres would be metric units used for this

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

We'll make an exception this time 👩‍⚖️

[-] SouthFresh@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 years ago

Zero, you take bites, the sandwich never has any.

If someone left a bite in my sandwich I'd be very upset.

[-] triptrapper@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

And where am I taking them from, smarty pants?

[-] SouthFresh@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

The same place your lap goes when you stand up

[-] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

It would appear to be approximately 2,982,609 bytes.

[-] sntx@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I prefer my sandwich tar.xz compressed over .zip

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Bro, nibble the crust first, then there are so many glorious crustless bites. Or just cut it off.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

I normally do a ton of nibbles. What's the conversion rate of nibbles to bites? And are chomps just a US unit of measurement?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

A nibble, four bits, is half a byte, eight bits.

[-] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Doing everything to dogde the metric system 🇺🇸🦅

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The Internet was never the same after Europe adopted the 10-bit metric byte.

[-] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

This would make for an awesome Cyberpunk TTRPG setting… an evil villain letting free a virus that transforms every bit into a 10-bit metric byte. Items being unusable unless decoded, etc.

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

All units that use body parts are US ones.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

How many foreskins is that?

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Your size or mine?

[-] xep@fedia.io 7 points 2 years ago

I quite like the crust, but could you not slice the crust off? That would likely improve the bread to crust ratio considerably.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I like crust too though

[-] 10_0@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago
[-] JWBananas@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

All of them.

I'm sorry.

[-] Knitwear@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

12:

Corner bite - a balance of crust and content, a display of delayed gratification

Good bite - because you did so well delaying your gratification

Corner bite - because you hope the richness of The Good Bite will transfer somewhat

Navigating the last corner:

  • Rotate for a heavily crust>content corner bite - the build up

  • Deliberately smaller, last of the crust bite - the set up

Last Good Bite - smaller than The Good Bite but, equally, aren't you clever

X 2

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Cut your sandwich into triangles. This gives you 4x good bites & 8x corner bites without size differences.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

How big are your bites? The number of bites a sandwich has depends on their size.

Bread comes in too many different shapes and sizes for this to have a universal answer.

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I can finish in 5, 4 if I put in a little effort, 2 if I really need to.

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

(Ingredients-1)^2^ +2

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I didn't know sandwiches can bite

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[-] DampSquid@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

How can there be -3 bites in a sandwich?

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You dropped it or it was stolen by a magpie or gull before you finished.

[-] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

You eat the sandwich in 9 bites. Then you vomit back up the sandwich plus 12 bites of the last thing you ate

[-] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

I would agree with this. The rational part of me likes to try and eat a sandwich in a 3x3 grid of bites, right-to-left, working my way downward.

But, I'm a wacky, inconsistent li'l bitch, so it almost never works out that way. But, I don't think I ever exceed 12 bites. That's a pretty solid ballpark range.

[-] caesaravgvstvs@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago

What if the bread is... Not square?
