Kim being OK with it is pretty compelling, I'll admit.
I put this question to my wife, who is as cool as Kim Deal and was aware of the debate, but we had never discussed preferences.
"You cut it in half. You can't leave 5/6 of it. Would you leave 1/6 of it? No."
"Someone wants a whole donut, or they want half a donut. You leave 5/6, then the next guy is the asshole who has to leave, like, 1/3 of a donut? Or take it all and throw the rest away so he doesn't look like a prick."
"No one want to do that. Half, whole, or nothing."
Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
103Getting and obnoxiously touting the Kim Deal seal of approval is a really grubby move and makes me very suspicious. Especially because it's Kim. Kim is cool. If Kim says it's cool...
i was kind of indifferent to this behavior, sixthing, before -- it seemed like everyone was arguing about something because they were bored -- but now i feel like there's some sort of pathological issue behind it.
I asked this person genuinely with kind intentions about their favourite experience eating one sixth of a donut -- the thing they claim to be passionate about. I wanted to understand and share in their pleasure of what some perceive to be strange behavior.
In response I got "I know Kim Deal and she approves of the questionable things i do."
Gross. Get fucked. Don't fall for it.

104It's a catch-22 crossed with a tar baby. We're forced to either accept Sixthing or call our beloved Kim Deal a Bun C... I can't even say it.

Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
105This has absolutely nothing to do with Kim Deal and goes much deeper than eating one sixth of a donut.
Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
106The thing that makes donut Hitlers come across as ever so slightly Republican is that it's none of their business.
They only accept whole donuts for themselves, and believe that it's anyone's right to take a whole donut. But become incensed at the idea that someone would choose to leave some of their claim behind. Nobody stopping you from taking a whole donut. It's no loss to you. All you suffer is the indignity of being reminded there are people around who aren't like you.
The simple fact is that opinions, like donuts, are sometimes divided. But these bakery brownshirts want to tell everybody how to live.

Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
107Sure, but the donuts in question are usually placed in the workplace for the rank and file by management. Are they really for the people? They're a religion, opiate, bread and circuses type subterfuge. The best you can hope for is another department had a party, or a visiting vendor's marketing budget paid for them. And those are stale. Otherwise, it's the bosses trying to distract you from their having chosen a shittier health plan, or subjected you to dress codes, unpaid overtime, insourcing, outsourcing, what have you. In that case, eat all the fucking donuts, secretly, and leave everyone griping about how they tried to buy us off with donuts and they didn't even buy enough for everyone to get one. In this case and this case only, I endorse accelerationism.Anthony Flack wrote: Fri Sep 16, 2022 10:48 pm The thing that makes donut Hitlers come across as ever so slightly Republican is that it's none of their business.

On the other hand, sometimes my buddies bring in donuts, and sometimes wifey and I get donuts at home. Then, I'll cut a donut up to share. It's the right thing to do.
Re: I’m a sixther. Ask me anything.
108All you people who unthinkingly snarf down donuts and don't gain a pound can suck it. I just look at a donut and I feel my gut start to sag over my belt and my man boobs swelling. Of course I want to eat the whole thing but it will send me right down the slope to fatassery. But donuts are so damn good and I just want a little taste.
But some jackoff always shows up at work with a box full. "Hey everybody! Help yourself!" Do you go to AA meetings with an 8-ball of coke and a bottle of tequila, you sick fucks?
I had a roommate years ago that I drove crazy with this behavior. He would buy some delicious dessert at the store and we would split it. His half was gone within 24 hours, mine would last at least a week. I would only eat one forkful at night. He'd get furious: "Every goddamn day I open the fridge and it's still in there. Just EAT the fucking thing already!"

109"Sixthing" sounds like a mormon contraception technique.
