Typical two pieces of bread with something inside.

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

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

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

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] SouthFresh@lemmy.ml 12 points 15 hours ago

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

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

[-] amzd@lemmy.world 45 points 20 hours ago

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.

We'll make an exception this time 👩‍⚖️

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 points 17 hours ago

... what would the metric unit be? 🤔

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

I didn't know sandwiches can bite

[-] 10_0@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago
[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 29 points 22 hours ago

Well, there are 8 bits in a byte, so there must be 8 bites in a sammich, obviously.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 14 hours ago

Checks out, at least if you represent the string "sandwich" in ASCII.

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

in 8-bit ascii

[-] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 16 points 22 hours ago
[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

Each bit is an ingredient.

2 bits bread

1 bit ham

1 bit cheese

1 bit lettuce

1 bit tomato

1 bit pickles

1 bit mayonnaise

So when you divide it all out, it's only 8 bites.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

From now on, 25. I actually wish there was bread that had the dividing lines

[-] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 7 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] sntx@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago

I prefer my sandwich tar.xz compressed over .zip

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 7 points 22 hours 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 7 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Doing everything to dogde the metric system 🇺🇸🦅

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

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

[-] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours 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 21 hours ago

All units that use body parts are US ones.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

How many foreskins is that?

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Your size or mine?

[-] xep@fedia.io 5 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] caesaravgvstvs@feddit.org 2 points 18 hours ago

What if the bread is... Not square?

[-] JWBananas@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

All of them.

I'm sorry.

[-] DampSquid@feddit.uk 4 points 18 hours ago

How can there be -3 bites in a sandwich?

[-] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 14 hours ago

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

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 2 points 19 hours 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.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world -2 points 16 hours ago

It depends on the size of your mouth, the size of bite you take, and the size of the sandwich. But if you'd cared about that you'd have realized it's a meaningless question before embarrassing yourself by asking here. So instead I'll you a meaningless answer: 37 ⅚

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Don't think OP has embarrassed themselves.
