The Everlasting Stringburger (MBMBAM 480)

Got delayed from posting this, but here it is!
A clip from episode 480 of My Brother, My Brother, and Me.
This audio comes from the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me and belongs to the McElroy brothers.

"Why don't they make wider burgers?" *13 minutes later* "And that's the origin story of the Joker"

[@darrenfavot5770]

Sounds like a typical mbmbam question answer

It’s so nice of this person to present their senior thesis on Yahoo answers. The free exchange of information is a beautiful thing

“a nerds rope but burger” is just awful. just an awful thing to conceive.

You’ve heard of long furby, now get ready for... long burger

[@hawyee9090]

i am OBSESSED with the question asker's voice. who *talks like that* i love it

[@fuzzytheduck6821]

Griffin?

[@aurorarose6678]

Fuzzy The duck they probably mean like literary voice! the way the question asker presents the question (for example, a whole paragraph of just “I’m right.” is WILD and incredible)

[@stephanief5794]

genuinely i do

[@judahc7586]

It actually reminds me somewhat of forum posts in my tweens. Homeschooled kid with very little but specific knowledge of the world raised on constant book reading... I had some interesting writing habits.

[@bjwwilcera]

*I'm right.*

[@D0CT0RECT0C00LR]

i have never and likely will never meet this question asker but in my heart i know they understand me to a degree that no other human ever will.

This was a fucking wild ride from start to finish

Underrated comment

[@spyrolad]

an 8 inch burger would be way more than twice the amount of burger than two 4 inch burgers

[@KnightedLink]

Doing the calculations, a quarter-pounder patty with a radius of 2 inches would have about 6.92 cubic inches of meat, a surface area of 12.56 square inches, and a height of 0.551 inches. Assuming that the question-answer wants the height to stay constant, a half-pounder would have a volume of 13.84 (twice the volume of the 1/4 pounder) and a radius of 2.83 inches or a diameter of 5.657 inches. Meanwhile, a patty with a radius of 4 inches and the same height as the other, has exactly a pound or 27.68 cubic inches of meat. This is 400% of a quarter-pounder and would be very hard to hold. TL;DR- an 8-inch burger would be a one-pound burger, not a 1/2 pound due to how circle area works

[@yixuu]

the square cube law ruins the party once again

[@aurelia65536]

not if it only 8 inches in one direction. suppose its 8 inches on the x axis and 4 inches on the y axis.

[@spyrolad]

@Peepo are you suggesting some kind of everlasting string burger?

[@shawnaeatscats]

@@aurelia65536 this is what I thought they were talking about

[@Nerozard]

So this is what the movie would be like if Willy Wonka got into burgers.

[@WhiteKnuckleRide512]

I have listened to this bit at least a dozen times and am somehow only now realizing that was this question asker is looking for is literally just a sub

[@TheJRhyder]

This one never gets old. I'm right.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

Technically, you would be getting 4 times the burger if you go from a 4 inch to an 8 inch patty. Not double. You'd want something like... 5.5 to 6 inches to get double

[@Raycu2]

This question asker doesn't like the bun but wants a burger that would have only a few differences the biggest one being significantly more bun.

Longburger dystopia vs. Food Train dystopia, who would win

[@ryanewald9740]

Well, the thing with food train is the Ruffalo bots are cooking the burger on their chests, and presumably, they would make tall burgers as we do now. While string burger is factually a better burger experience and presumably have been precooked before being laid out for our enjoyment.

[@pepitodiablo912]

I literally agree with this person so much but here's the thing: sub sandwiches fill this void for me. Longburger = footlong

[@laurenyork6095]

Now I'm picturing an unsettlingly realistically photoshopped footlong burger and I Don't Like It

[@pepitodiablo912]
