If a baguette could move, how would it move?

[afewbugs@social.coop]

@sheepfilms definitely 6

[anakin78z@mograph.social]

@sheepfilms I was tempted to say 3/5, but I'm going with 6. Rolling would eventually damage the crust on top, and when rolling up to something there's no guarantee that you end up flat side down, leaving it potentially unbalanced. 6 solves all those issues.

[fskornia@glammr.us]

@sheepfilms In the real world probably 5. In the cartoon world it would probably be 6, because who doesn't want a happily jaunting baguette?
In the eldritch horror world, 1.

@sheepfilms @dlx #3 is the only possible way to move, all others could only be performed if it is not fresh

[lepaggoth@mastodon.social]

@sheepfilms First I thought it must be one, but after seeing other options I think 6 is likelier.

[sheepfilms@mastodon.social]

@Nael great answer!

@sheepfilms If it was a lovely light crunchy French baguette, it’d fly gently through the air. However a British supermarket baguette would probably smash those elegant black tiles whatever method of locomotion it attempted.

@rich ooof! Dad joke haha

[bazzargh@hachyderm.io]

@sheepfilms it would deploy a sail and be carried along by the bries

@at You're not the first person to reply with this

[tsadiq@rivals.space]

@sheepfilms definitely 7 ; as a french man i know that a baguette cannot bend without losing bits of crust, and a crust is part of the identity of a baguette, so it had to be 3 🧐

But given the alternatives, 7 is more really more like it. Give it arms and a mouth to whistle, and it will go to the bakery, fetch a tiny baguette for breakfast and bring it home by holding it under its arm, because this is the way

@sheepfilms 2, naturally, as the origin of the name "Bah-Ghett" stems from the sound its two legs make as it runs.

@sheepfilms 1 and 4 are basically the same (slug) - where’s the slithering snake?

Edit: There it is.. #8

[sheepfilms@mastodon.social]

@photovince 1 is a worm and 4 is a caterpillar

[mariana400@col.social]

@sheepfilms 5, as it maintains form and has a rhythm that allows it to protect from natural predators.

[eater@cijber.social]

@sheepfilms 1, it is natural to the inner structure of the baguette, and can be done with minimal tearing

[mungus@jorts.horse]

@sheepfilms I think it would slither like a snake. Possibly a sidewinder

[ahchay@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@sheepfilms I still like 3 - that end over end thing is nice and satisfying, and you're not stuck with one direction of movement

@sheepfilms@mastodon.social oh you’re the original author of this gif?

[sheepfilms@mastodon.social]

@xarvos yes
