Why we don't make one giant square to hold even more syrup?

Except the 17 square version holds less syrup than the 16 square version because you need to reduce the size of the squares to fit more of them.

I wonder if John Bidwell is haunted by his discovery. I know I would be. That shit is cursed as fuck.

I keep telling people that you can make nice, even months if you just have 13 of them but nooooo, 13 is a prime number, you can't divide it by 2, 3, 4, or 6! Boo fucking hoo, I want every month in the year to start on the same day of the week.

on one hand, i want a 17-square waffle maker. on the other hand i think i would get brutally murdered by anyone i ever tried to make waffles for

Aren't Hexagons the bestagon for tiling a plane for most holding capacity while reducing the "walls" than any shape?

I don't think waffle enjoyers want one more square in the same waffle, they want a specific shape and syrup/butter ratio per square. This waffle bricks that with its thick sections.

Shapes are dumb.

TIL the shape in waffle is to hold syrup.

How about 25?

This image is cropped so poorly. I've seen the uncropped version recently too...

Why would do this?

This ruined my day.

I need to find this waffle iron!

Great. Now cut that into 8 equal bites without spilling any syrup.

Fuckin' dumbass. THIS is what is meant by "book smart but not street smart".
