This is going to make toaster ICs more complex. Going to need a BAGEL pin, and a BAGEL_ALT pin.

#32Stopped reading when I saw he drew on a perfectly good bagel with a sharpie. People have no respect for food nowadays.

#34This method doesn't always leave the bagel looking aesthetically pleasing. The bagel, even in the linked video linked in the article, appears to have been hacked apart by a machete wielding attacker, leaving tufts of bread falling out.
There is another way! To do so, cut the bagel just one time (not four), turning the knife around the bagel until the bagel is 180 degrees flipped when the knife returns to the starting position.
Here is a short video for this sort of a mobius-bagel method. [1]

#36...and I thought I was clever to cut my bagel in 3rds to eat "low carb".

#37His daughter, Vi Hart, has a video about how to solve the three utilities problem on a bagel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CruQylWSfoU
I could have legit named my daughter Vi? Fuck.
That may be a finite limit. Some years ago a couple I know married and decided to pick a neutral last name, 'X'. The powers that be would not allow it. So their last name became 'Ecks'.

#39Read before attempting: https://newyorkerbagels.com/bagel-safety-dont-be-an-er-stati... Seriously. As any nurse about a "bagel injury" and they will know exactly what you are talking about. It is so common that it is addressed in some military first aid courses.
For problem number 1 listed in your link, the YouTube video I posted elsewhere in this thread is a solution. Moreover, my wife, who is a nurse, has never heard of "bagel injury."

Well, if we go by the numbers in the article...
> Americans ate an estimated 3 billion bagels at home in 2011, an average of about 11 per person (this doesn’t include bagels eaten at work). And in the course of slicing up all those bagels, almost 2,000 people cut their fingers so badly that they ended up in an emergency room.
You have roughly (very roughly) a 0.24% chance of being one of those people injured, each day, across the entirety of the nation. I'd say the chances are low enough that some nurses will have heard of it, and some won't have, depending on distribution of bagel eaters.

I really hope this isn’t really that common. Like how bad do you have to be with a knife and do you really need someone to tell you it’s going to be a tad difficult to cut a frozen piece of bread?
Basic safety tip: Don’t pull or point pointy bits towards your meaty bits.
