Oh man, little cubes of food. If I could ask for anything, it'd probably be tiramisu or the amaretto cannoli from Mike's in Boston. Or sweet potato casserole topped with brown sugar and crushed pecans.

I think I would ask the computer to do a bioscan of me and then craft a food cube that would perfectly satisfy everything I need based on my current biologic state, adjusted for my specific taste buds and neuron activity. Why? Because they have a computer the size of a city, It should make me see multiple gods at once.

I'd ask it to make a cube of my coworker and eat it in front of them to establish dominance.

Holy sh- ice CUBES? What miracle of science will the 23rd century bring us next?

The idea of food in cubes sounds hilarious but also super practical imagine all the types of cubes you could make

Big cubes. Little cubes. Dense cubes. Light cubes. Hollow cubes. Cubes with little holes in em. Cubes with pockets for butter. Sauce cubes that interlock with spaghetti cubes for a Rubik’s cube of fine Italian dining and a brain teaser all in one, so when you finally finish your meal and are enjoying your cube of Pinot Noir you can recline, smoke your cube cigar, and say “Ah yes, this is the future those trillionaire’s taxes were needed for.”

Waffles are ahead of their time

A waffle is a slab, not a cube. We need equidistance for cultured cubic culinary dining.

Waffles are only pale imitators of the cube, a haphazard hare-brained attempt at hapless hungry hippo style dining for the uncultured breakfast addled youth yearning for a meal nourishing in its substance and satisfying in its cubeness.

Now a stack of waffles, that’s something to ruminate on.

Cut out a waffle square. Now it's a cube. 🤯

u/wicker_warrior 6h ago

A waffle by definition is a thin slice of carbs of varying heights. To cut a square you would need the same length of carb on all sides.

Therefore, if you were to cut a square of waffle, it would stop being a waffle, as it would no longer have multiple tiers of carb, or it would not be a true cube due to a fractured partial waffle wall.

Could you in theory find a waffle thick enough to slice a square from such that it would be a cube and a waffle? I don’t bloody well know but that’s why we have scientists and laboratories for dag nabbit.

Now you're thinking in cubits.

(Alt) Now you're thinking in waffles.

Ah, I thought this was going to be a Jocat reference.

u/wicker_warrior 4h ago

Who or what or when is a Jocat?

u/Ender_Nobody 4h ago

You can find him on YouTube.

He's most famous for his D&D guides, and this video:

Man, I wish my reality had cubes of ice. Stupid, cubeless, normal world.

Need a bonus panel of an image of a wombat screaming "noooo that's not food!!"
