Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
31Do y'all get off on perceived calorie reduction or something?
We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.
Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
32You are lying to yourself by taking half of a donut. You are not making a healthier choice and you are not being polite.
Don't be a simp! take the whole thing!

33knowing that my daily calorie intake is going to be under 2,000 is the only way i can finish.

you're lying to yourself that somebody wouldn't see half a doughnut in a box and go for it

Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
37I've never weighed in on this, despite being privy to maybe 5/6ths of the debate.
I'm a bit conflicted.
Fundamentally, we shouldn't take what we can't use if others may want it.
What is the objection to sixthing?
That it is a violation of the integrity of a donut?
Donuts are without integrity. They are crass and absurd and nutritionally retrograde.
And critically: they can go, almost magically, from delicious to horrible if you have just one more bite than you wanted when you started eating it.
I appreciate very well that one's constitution, especially as one rolls definitively down the road through adulthood on the journey to the grave, may not be set up to deal optimally well with an entire donut.
So there's that.
On the other hand, you can't cut up a jelly donut and leave some behind. Seems heinous, actually. I would draw the line there.
And 1/6...I'm not fully anti. But ideally, if you can manage it, I think one ought to take half.
If you can't get it up for a full half, you're defacing what ends up being an almost-entire donut.
It's visually unclear, to whomever comes upon it next, exactly what the fuck happened.
You take half...and the proportion left is pleasing.
The implicit message left behind is clear: no, this was not partially eaten by a rat. A human cut it in half, cleanly, and left half of it behind. For you.
Conclusion: about 4/6ths pro-sixthing. 6/6ths pro-halfsie.

Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
38^ Absolutely am on board with the halfsies.
When eating appetizers at a restaurant with a group and there is only one item of something left, I will only feel validated if I'm able to find one other person at the table willing to split (in half) the last app with me.
The sixthing is just taking it to the next level. I don't foresee myself ever going to that degree but I have no problem with it. Kudos.

39Bullshit. One can easily quarter a jelly donut. If you can't, you should hot be allowed to use a knife.eephus wrote: Tue Sep 13, 2022 1:54 pm

This is dumb. Make the offer. If no one else wants it and they tell you to eat it, just fucking eat it. Begging for a partner-in-halfsy is pathetic.jfv wrote: When eating appetizers at a restaurant with a group and there is only one item of something left, I will only feel validated if I'm able to find one other person at the table willing to split (in half) the last app with me.
I'm cool with sixthing anything, especially donuts in an office.
