If a baguette could move, how would it move? Give your reasoning pls.
(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms First I thought it must be one, but after seeing other options I think 6 is likelier.

@Nael great answer!

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@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

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms it would deploy a sail and be carried along by the bries

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

Before you answer 3 - I made 3 more baguettes that don't distort
(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@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

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms 1 and 4 are basically the same (slug) - where’s the slithering snake?
Edit: There it is.. #8

@photovince 1 is a worm and 4 is a caterpillar

(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@sheepfilms 5, as it maintains form and has a rhythm that allows it to protect from natural predators.

(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@sheepfilms 1, it is natural to the inner structure of the baguette, and can be done with minimal tearing

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms I think it would slither like a snake. Possibly a sidewinder

(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@sheepfilms I still like 3 - that end over end thing is nice and satisfying, and you're not stuck with one direction of movement

@xarvos yes

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms All of these are viable, the baguette chooses it's gait based on how fast it wants to go and the surface it wants to traverse, just like a horse.

(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@sheepfilms I'm happy we're thinking about the big questions in life today.
I'm torn between 1 and 4.

(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@sheepfilms Thinking more about this, we are missing important information. Are we talking about a proper bakery baguette or these horrors from the supermarket for whom 8 would not result in texture change?
Also -- where does it live?

(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@sheepfilms 1. Any fast movements are going to damage the crust. I think 1 is probably the easiest type of motion to execute extremely slowly. It probably moves about 1cm a week.
