If a baguette could move, how would it move?
-
Before you answer 3 - I made 3 more baguettes that don't distort
(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.

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)What an utterly absurd question "If a baguette could move, how would it move?"
Obviously it's #4!

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms But they *can* move. They use mind control to coerce a Frenchman to carry them.

@transitionalaspect I don't have an answer for your questions. You can decide!

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms all of these combined, it is French after all!

(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@sheepfilms A good baguette should have a crispy crust, so I was going to answer 3 on that basis, but I think 6 looks much steadier. I can see the baguette sneaking up on a charcuterie board and giving the soft cheese a big smooch.

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms 1 or 5.

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms I love that you realized that you erred I quickly self-corrected: indeed it is not in the essence of baguettes to bend. My personal preference is 7 but 6 is a close second.

@sheepfilms if you ever do more, can I suggest -
corkscrewing through the air like a propeller
and
flapping like wings?@bimmer thanks for the suggestions! I've got a list of them somewhere from when I last posted this, maybe I'll get around to them someday!

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms Weird people in the answers. Definitely 1. And this is also how it eats sausages.

(this is an old GIF from the archive, posting it here finally)@sheepfilms 1, rectilinear locomotion is the best. There's a couple of snakes that move like this too, funnily enough.
