If a baguette could move, how would it move?

[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

@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

[xarvos@outerheaven.club]

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

[sheepfilms@mastodon.social]

@xarvos yes

[heinragas@mublog.nl]

@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.

@sheepfilms I'm happy we're thinking about the big questions in life today.

I'm torn between 1 and 4.
