      I took the picture in the right direction but apparently Memmy will not follow rotation tags from iOS.

    Likely an attempt to claim there’s fewer calories per slice, even though people will just cut it in quarters instead of fifths.

      It’s like that time I only had two drinks – a bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka. (oh my god I died for the next two days don’t do what I did)

      Can’t get mad at me for having only two drinks!

    It might be designed that way to make the nutritional facts more appealing. They can define the portion sizes arbitrarily, so the per-portion amounts don’t look so high.

      I dunno about y’all, but I cut my pizza’s into 1/8ths, which would be smaller than 1/5.

      The FDA is in charge of portion sizes. No one decides it on their own.

      What a company can do is fiddle with the total number of portions. Which is how you get 5 portions in this pizza.

    Not sure why the picture shows up sideways… it was taken vertically.

      Most phones just use metadata to tell what way an image is supposed to be rotated and will always take the picture portrait. It was probably removed by the image host

      It does the exact same thing to me. But if I go in my gallery and make a copy of the picture and upload that, it works correctly.

      I don’t get it either.

        I uploaded via Memmy… maybe I’ll post a bug report.

    Interetingly, I’ve concluded that cutting a pizza to 4 pieces makes the rim support the tip properly, regardless of the size of the pizza, while cutting the pizza to 8 pieces makes the tip of the piece always flop. However, one quadrant of the pizza is harder to eat, because it widens so radicaly. This has made me a believer of cutting the pizza to 6 pieces, as this solves both issues.

    I woudn’t be surprised if some maths genius would’ve calculated that the 5 pieces would be the most optimal for both issues, the tip support, and the edibility. However, cutting to 5 equal pieces is rather bothersom, so I’ll be sticking with 6 pieces personally, regardless of what pizza enginers may have calculated.

      Same person also did the installation instructions for Glacier Bay medicine cabinets. 3/5 and 2/9 were measurements I recently had the joy of running into.

      I can say with 105.6% accuracy that I did not install the framing to the exact dimensions as specified. If Glacier Bay has a problem they can make tape measures with 1/5 and 1/9.

        Could that have been a metric conversion issue? Convenient measurements in one system of units are not necessarily convenient in another

    if you try cutting an odd number of slices you’re gonna have a bad time
