This is the objectively correct answer.
My ex liked the 6-7 range while I like the 2-4 range. We were thus incompatible and broke up after the umpteenth time they made it “for me” the exact same way they did for themselves.
(The last bit is a joke, the first bit isn’t)
If your ex liked 6-7 they were clearly too young anyways.

It seems it self-heals a bit after #9 and reassembles back, so I would like to try that #10
That's what happens when you take it out at 8 or 9 when some areas of the meat have not been fully converted to carbon. Around stage 10, this conversion adds some support but then the bacon becomes much more brittle from 14 to 18.

Are you a vegan or do you eat pigs alive?
4-6, depending on the type of bacon.
I want it to stand horizontal if I hold the end :p
That's what she said
It should snap like a potato chip, not a French fry.

2-5 are acceptable. Softer bacon is better than crispier bacon and I don’t care who I offend
It depends on the dish. Like Chinese pork belly should melt in your mouth, not break your teeth. But on a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, the bacon needs to bring the texture.
3 is the breakfast buffet pile of hours old leathery bacon all stuck together with lukewarm grease. This is not an acceptable bacon. 2 for sandwiches, 4 or 5 for plain eatin
3 is the breakfast buffet pile of hours old leathery bacon all stuck together with lukewarm grease.
Edit:
I've been vegan for 10 years and I still miss 2-3 style bacon. Vegan bacon does a good job if you like Canadian bacon and/or 4-6 on this chart, but nobody has made fatty vegan bacon that's good around 2-3 cookedness

I prefer my bacon in a gluon soup form..
10 through 18 look like the bristolstool chart
Anakin, no!
Let's not be ridiculous, anything beyond #12 is unsalvageable! #9 is perfectly optimal though
Does the bacon reassemble itself between 9 and 10?
Not necessarily accurate, but here's my own interpretation:
1. Canada
2/3. Britain
4. USA
5. Ireland
6. Deep South US
7. A college dorm
...
18. Portugal

18 looks good, to fire up a barbeque for grilling my veggies
Is there a 4.5 option? Although 6-7 are the tastiest. I love charred food and burnt pizza
19 is too crunchy.
Some places will slap like a 1.4 in a bun and act like their job here is done, and you’re like wha
3-5. Thats the sweet spot.
18 , its basically carbon now so its halal
Please ask the chef to restrict airflow so that I may use my bacon to heat my forge.
1 should just be a pig.
Indexes start at 0
I'll have a uuuuuuhhhh #14 with side of ketchup
I like mine fossilized.
5 is where it's at boys. Max crisp, no burning.
I can never decide between 15 or 16
For real, my wife is around 2. I like mine about 4 or 5. I want a good crunch, but she likes her bacon flaccid.
She also takes her steak at a medium. I want my steak all but still mooing.

- Maybe even 2. I'd have to see it in person.
