My greatest ever achievement in the kitchen was that time I successfully cut a bagel into two interlocked rings like this
This doesn’t seem possible, but it’s probable enough that I have thought about it way too long and I will probably have a dream about it in the near future.
Judging by the picture the slice is done in a spiral which results in two Mobius bagels
This is exactly it
It’s sliced along the center, rotating the axis of slice 360 degrees as it goes along the circle, cutting it in two halves which interlock
I love topology
I’m not even mad, that’s amazing.
I’m mentally shattered
Wheres the part that starts off as a perfect half bagel at one side but is barely atoms thick by the time you get to the other?
I’m guessing a humorous exaggeration? I’ve accidentally cut bread off a loaf into weirdly thin/wedge slices but bagels I tend to nail pretty consistently.
Do y’all really have trouble cutting bagels, or is this one of those things everyone just sort of claims as a running gag or, like, memetic knowledge? Sometimes one side is a little thicker than the other, but mostly I have no trouble cutting bagels. Could be because I grew up eating a lot of bagels, and learned young?
That’s hilarious, and accurate.
