Typical two pieces of bread with something inside.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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

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

Americans really will use any measurement before touching the metric system

We'll make an exception this time 👩‍⚖️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Just like the misattributed Churchill quote :

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

... what would the metric unit be? 🤔

[–] over_clox 28 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] over_clox 5 points 10 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

What if the bread is... Not square?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I prefer my sandwich tar.xz compressed over .zip

[–] hperrin 6 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

Doing everything to dogde the metric system 🇺🇸🦅

[–] SpaceNoodle 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 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 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

All units that use body parts are US ones.

[–] SpaceNoodle 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

How many foreskins is that?

[–] NeoNachtwaechter 1 points 7 hours ago

Your size or mine?

[–] Etterra 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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 3 points 2 hours ago

Don't think OP has embarrassed themselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 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.

[–] JWBananas 3 points 10 hours ago

All of them.

I'm sorry.

How can there be -3 bites in a sandwich?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 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 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 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.
