If a baguette could move, how would it move?

@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

Before you answer 3 - I made 3 more baguettes that don't distort
(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

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!

(plus a snake one because I felt like it)@sheepfilms 3 and 7 seem the most baguette-y

(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!
