What is the protocol in the case of Hostess Donettes?

Surely one shouldn't attempt to sixth such a diminutive donut, should one?

Gah have you people never worked in an office? What happens is someone leaves some quantity of Dunkies in the kitchen. It could be a dozen by some generous person, or some leftovers from a meeting. These are consumed one-donut-per-person until the last one, which is halved as a courtesy to the next person who’d like a donut. Sometimes the remaining half becomes a quarter. I have no clue where this 6th business comes from. Must be some weird midwestern thing.

Jesus Christ. Eat the fucking donut. If you can't eat a whole donut, don't take any at all. Don't want the whole donut? Fine. Find someone and split it with them. Problem solved. There wasn't even a problem, but you made one and now I've solved it for you since you can't do it yourself.

This perpetual division of what is perfectly designed for one person is what's wrong with shit today. Polite to the point of making everyone uncomfortable. It's a donut. It's made for one person. You're introducing a wild variable that's fucking shit up.

Y'all slicing up oysters and shit so there's enough to go around? Fuck's going on here?

when steve sent this to me months ago i giggled, and watching it again just now, i giggled some more.

It was one doughnut a day until the forum was back up

It’s apple cider donut season here in New England, and that’s good. Just split one with my son.

^ that's about entirely it.

The sixther has also now dirtied a dish to get your portion of non-satisfaction, so actually in your self-important 'I don't want to take all of it', you've created energy waste.

My mother in law takes this to the extreme, never finishing anything and it's infuriating.

Exact fucking reason I hate "small plates" restaurants and going out to eat in a big group. Well, one of about a thousand reasons. You order a bunch of things for the table, you get a sliver of each item, you're fucking starving but no one wants to look like the pig and eat the last piece that's just sitting there (not to mention the perfectly edible garnish). You leave the restaurant still hungry, and you just gave a stupid amount of money to some twat with tattoo sleeves and a curly mustache. Fuck all of that. No, I'm not sharing. You can't even have a bite.

Hey now! Sixthing pre-dates "small plates" dining by decades. The two are NOT related. Fuck off with this.

Also, I'm always happy to eat the last bite.

Brother Fox, I was with you until you started in on tattoos. Some of us weren't allowed to wear what we wanted as kids and we went overboard as adults.

Also, the teddy bear knife donut clip is the best thing on the internet today.

Hey this is no time for jokes. This donut business is a serious matter.

People who aren't degenerate habitual food wasters would see no problem with it. How are we supposed to get to net zero if we can't even countenance the thought of coexisting with half-donuts? Hello world, it's me, a westerner, throwing high-calorie industrially-processed foods into the garbage once again. Hey, it's either that or overeating right? Sorry no, we can't adjust our habits. Cleaning a knife would be energy waste.

And a donut is among the easiest of things to divide, having no centre. It's just a small ring cake. I say the real bun cunts are the ones who insist on enforcing a pointless adherence to meaningless standards out of some misguided sense of propriety, which strikes me as a little fascist, a little bit donazi.
