I find the cube rule to be naïve in its ignorance of topological spaces. A sandwich is just a cross section of mobius toast. A wrap is just toast projected onto a cylinder. A calzone is just toast projected onto a sphere. Everything is toast! Why can't people see this!

> mobius toast

This is absurd. If you drop a slice of peanut butter mobius toast on the ground, how does it land?

What sort of toaster must I buy to take mobius bread and toast it?

I don't like the implications here, and reject all projection-based arguments. Too dangerous.

Somewhere deep underground, in a high-tech laboratory, a group of scientists lean over a slice of toast levitating in some Contact-esque structure...

"Dr Gibbons! The zero-point readings are off the scale! We've done it!"

The toast briefly flickers into a pizza, then a burrito, then back to being a piece of toast.

His brows furrow. "No. This can't be. Shut it down! Delete the files! No one can ever learn of this!"

Startup idea: Toastamak.

Breads contained by magnetic field and toasted by high energy plasma.

We'll ship the breads with QR-code DRM of course. Subscription model.

"Are you tired of waking up late? Rushing out the door without breakfast, again? Overdue for your fondue? Then you need Toastamak! Our patented quasispace manifold uses space age technology to fetch hot, fresh toast and toastlike products from the interdimensional superposition of spacetime itself. Need it yesterday? No problem! Toastamak's causality-preserving temporal inversion matrix will make ruined dinner parties a thing of the past. Literally!"

(Toastamak products contain no user servicable parts. Only to be used on bread and bread-derivatives. No warranty or liability accepted for breeding-based temporal anomalies. Fusion cells not included.)

This is the way.

When I was in grad school working on semiconductor process equipment I actually had this thought, but I was concerned about the unknown health implications of consuming food treated with plasmas of various chemical species... and graduating. In another universe, pressure cookers evolved into plasma cookers

Hold on, why would the toast have peanut butter on it?

[Yosemite_Sam]

Because peanut butter is the superior toast topping.

[thfuran]

Insofar as it has been placed atop the toast in this scenario, yes. Inasmuch as it competes with butter or jam, unequivocally not.

[mekkkkkk]

You can use a conveyor belt style toaster to toast your mobius toast. What's even better is that you can toast it forever.

This reminds me of the old, superior subway u-gouge. RIP.
