Then there's me, I'd just cut that last one in half.

I'd eat two

This isn't a shitpost, it's a winpost

[-] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 12 points 7 hours ago

So, y'all just pack baggies 2 dimensionally?? I get it's a shitpost, but, this is shitty shit..

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

3D uses more space.

No, seriously. Causes more empty space.

Cubed contraptions coagulate coarser

[-] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 7 points 5 hours ago

There are other bags that are stacked above and below this one.

[-] krellor@fedia.io 98 points 12 hours ago

Aren't you supposed to just eat the 17th one so they cleanly fit?

Honestly I can't quite tell. Could be tofu?

[-] deHaga@feddit.uk 6 points 11 hours ago

I thought they look like rockwool grow plugs, can't imagine chewing those, squeaky teeth!

[-] Danarchy 24 points 10 hours ago

Easy way to pack sugar cubes to train my 17 horses. Neat!

[-] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 42 points 11 hours ago

God fucking dammit. Im so sick of seeing this fucking shit. When will I be free from this cursed knowledge

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

17 is a cursed number anyway. So it does not matter

[-] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

How can it be cursed? It's a prime number for Optimus's sake!

[-] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 17 points 9 hours ago

I think this actually does a better job than most explanations of why this is a practical excercise.

[-] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 32 points 12 hours ago

The fit is worse though lol. The cubes stick out further into the zipper than they did before.

[-] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 119 points 12 hours ago

It references the actual optimal way to pack 17 squares in a square:

[-] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

I know. But it didn't work here.

[-] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 37 points 7 hours ago

It did. In the left image, the one cube on the top is too tall and the bag doesn't close properly. On the right image, more cubes are close to the top, but the bag fully closes.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Sadly the bag does seem to close in the left image.

Otherwise this would be my meme of the month.

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world -2 points 6 hours ago

I'll give you that the bag on the left isn't closed, but I don't believe it can't be. I've squeezed enough blocks of cheese into sandwich bags to know what they look like when they won't close, and that bag could absolutely be closed. It's still funny for the meme though!

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 31 points 12 hours ago

Yes, but it closes with the optimal packing, and not with the naive one.

The only issue I have with that is that he couldn't have been training for many years.

A good time. Humanity was near its peak.

[-] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago

You could wear pant legs as large as you wanted and nobody would raise an eyebrow.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 9 points 9 hours ago

Especially considering most of the eyebrows were drawn on!

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

It's coming around again...

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 11 points 12 hours ago
[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

That bag could definitely close, with more free space left than the other version by the looks of it.
