Behold the Folded Circle Snack Discovery

It’s such an annual tradition to watch ViHart and I love it

"We need to send tacos into outer space" is not a take I knew I needed

My dream is to get kidnapped by aliens and travel the cosmos, sampling foods of various intergalactic cultures.

often it overlaps with "folded circle snack", but what I love even more is the ubiquity of dumplings, or "wrap something in dough snack". It's a perfect example of convergent evolution across different cultures and cuisines, and a tasty one to boot.

AIN'T NO WAY ANOTHER VIHART VIDEO IT'S BEEN A YEAR I'M SO EXCITED

Circle snack tends to be the complete snack that was cooked, so you put stuff on top and fold the circle snack to hold the stuff, et voila! Folded circle snack. Square snack tends to be dismembered rectangular prism snack, and tends to be packaged as a square snack stack, reconstituting the original rectangular prism snack. So when you put stuff on top of a square snack, it's only natural to reach for another square snack off the stack to hold the stuff in place. And that's why you see folded circle snacks and square snack stacks.

I look forward to these every year, Vi. Thank you for keeping my pi on it's toes ❤

Now I need a circlesnack

If we broadcast our genome into space instead of Pi, would aliens mistake it for a recipe?

The non-Euclidean aliens have folded circle snacks too, the circles just curve a little more on the ends than we're used to on Earth

Just Woke up. It is 7.20 am here. What a way to start my day. Thanks Vi

Seems like we should be sending taucos!

I’m really impressed by how much was fit into 6 minutes here, I could easily see other cheeks l channels fitting the same information into 20 or 30 minutes. You make it look effortless but still super high quality.

I'm more confident that aliens have folded circle snacks than I am that we'll ever meet them

Honestly I think the most reasonable explanation really is the "if you put dough on a somewhat flat surface it will (in more or less time depending on how stiff it is) form something somewhat resembling a circle" And from that "putting stuff on that circle" (after discovering you can eat multiple things together to make them taste better ofc) and "folding the circle to not have stuff fall out" doesn't seem too far ferched anymore

10 pm depression just vanished, thank you.

Imagining an alien civilization finally getting some random human astronomer's broadcast of Pi, only to ignore it because they were expecting the X2 version of that number.

A folded circle snack as a benchmark of civilization argument was a pleasant surprise.

Now if there was a line that went from nonsense to wisdom, this video covers the entire range. Awesome.

You didn’t have to give me an existential crisis by calling cooking externally digested by a mix of chemical processes
