As a former deli slicer operator, I just wanna say this would have made my day and I'd be so much happier to hear 5 vs "shaved" which was a hell sentence for bastards.

5 is sending me. 5 is alive. 5 is freeing me from pain.

I am not sober

5 is alive.

NO DISASSEMBLE!

I get roast turkey from the deli for my cats. I always tell them "shaved as thin as possible". I know it sucks and I'm sorry. But if the cats get big pieces they'll take it elswhere in the house to eat it and sometimes forget about it and then I find 2 month old rotting turkey behind the couch.

Anyone who says shaved gets thrown on the slicer themselves!

[–] HappycamperNZ 1 points 2 weeks ago

Does not-sober you want a #5 with cheese and a sauce?

I hate when your asked to choose a number on a completely arbitrary scale your are completely unfamiliar with.

Leave the scale for the regulars, and just accept "less, medium/normal, more"

This reminds me when I was at a coffee shop where I ordered some hot coffee drink with milk. I don't remember what kind it was, but the barista brought out a big cup with a small coffee shot in it. Then she said something which I somehow didn't hear, so I just nodded and said "yes". She started pouring the milk into the cup. I just watched.

She continued to pour. Slowly.

After a few seconds, she raised her eyes up to me, still pouring the milk. I was starting to wonder how much milk this drink was supposed to have. I could see her starting to have more of a worried look while she filled up the last bit of the cup.

Finally she stopped. A full cup. I took the drink, said thanks and left.

When I tasted it, I noticed that the drink was incredibly weak. Then I realized that the barista had asked me to say stop, but I just made her basically make me a full cup of hot milk.

Goddamnit, this unlocked a memory of a kid in middle school eating a can of spam with a spoon.

I don't think the numbers on the slicer correlate with any known measurement system

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah. So it's a gauge system. Like steel plate or copper wire thickness.

5-gauge ham.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

5-gauge ham.

Sounds like it would be fired from a hilarious, disgusting, and enormous shotgun.

Nah, 5mm is a fifth of an inch. 5cm would be 2 inches.

I can't read 😑

Never got going to the deli and getting bologna, If I'm going to a deli I'm getting something good.

Fry it for sure, but you shouldn't need to add an extra fat. You always can if you want, but bologna fries really well on its own.

[–] Jumi 12 points 2 weeks ago

I'm feeling sick just by looking at this abomination

[–] aeronmelon 11 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like you won. Enjoy your sandwich, King.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

What kind of meat is that? It looks disgusting.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

A more apt description of deli ham I have not heard.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's the rare delicacy baloney steak.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Agent641 4 points 2 weeks ago

It is meat. Ask no further questions.

[–] JeeBaiChow 1 points 2 weeks ago

The kind named after an European town?

I am 99.999% sure that's a made up story with an unrelated picture. Deli slicers have numbered settings and they aren't inches. Also that isn't 5 inches that is maybe 2 inches.

[–] wolfpack86 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The picture only claims it's 1" thick ...

[–] kerrigan778 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, so it does lol, I'm dumb. Tbf that is also not what a 5 looks like on any slicer I'm aware of. Usually it's a frequently wrong scale based on mm

What’s the problem, looks just about right.

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

This guy knows how to make a sandwich

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

I not sure what is this thing but it's not meat.

[–] 7uWqKj 1 points 2 weeks ago

Judging from looks and thickness, it could be Leberkäse, delicious 😋
