We buy ground beef in bulk whenever it's on sale. Like 5 or 10 pounds at a time.
We freeze them in quart bags, one pound at a time, squish them flat, and stack them in the freezer.
So easy to slap in a pan and start frying for tacos or whatever.
We recently got a half dozen or so pounds of 1 pound tubes of ground beef gifted to us. And man, it sucks trying to cook those from frozen. Scraping at them and frying them. Bah.
Sort of. Let's say the 16 were to the brim and it won't zip with 17. You could fit an extra 4 by stacking it on top of those 16, and while it'd cause more "empty space" around those 4, there's enough "slack" in the baggie to allow it to fit.
It did. In the left image, the one cube on the top is too tall and the bag doesn't close properly. On the right image, more cubes are close to the top, but the bag fully closes.
I'll give you that the bag on the left isn't closed, but I don't believe it can't be. I've squeezed enough blocks of cheese into sandwich bags to know what they look like when they won't close, and that bag could absolutely be closed. It's still funny for the meme though!

Aren't you supposed to just eat the 17th one so they cleanly fit?
Not if you’re trying to stage a viral tweet.
What are they?
Honestly I can't quite tell. Could be tofu?
I thought they look like rockwool grow plugs, can't imagine chewing those, squeaky teeth!
nougat?
Cheese
Rice crispy treats I think.
Then there's me, I'd just cut that last one in half.
I'd eat one.
I'd eat two
My wife would be mad that there were no cubes.
I'd eat three
This isn't a shitpost, it's a winpost
God fucking dammit. Im so sick of seeing this fucking shit. When will I be free from this cursed knowledge
I think this actually does a better job than most explanations of why this is a practical excercise.
17 is a cursed number anyway. So it does not matter
How can it be cursed? It's a prime number for Optimus's sake!
Easy way to pack sugar cubes to train my 17 horses. Neat!
So, y'all just pack baggies 2 dimensionally?? I get it's a shitpost, but, this is shitty shit..
Flat things thaw faster.

Cubed contraptions coagulate coarser
There are other bags that are stacked above and below this one.
3D uses more space.
No, seriously. Causes more empty space.

The fit is worse though lol. The cubes stick out further into the zipper than they did before.
It references the actual optimal way to pack 17 squares in a square:

I know. But it didn't work here.
It did. In the left image, the one cube on the top is too tall and the bag doesn't close properly. On the right image, more cubes are close to the top, but the bag fully closes.
Sadly the bag does seem to close in the left image.
Otherwise this would be my meme of the month.

Yes, but it closes with the optimal packing, and not with the naive one.
The only issue I have with that is that he couldn't have been training for many years.
1997 was many years ago.
A good time. Humanity was near its peak.
You could wear pant legs as large as you wanted and nobody would raise an eyebrow.
Especially considering most of the eyebrows were drawn on!
It's coming around again...

Ah fuck
But does it close?
That bag could definitely close, with more free space left than the other version by the looks of it.
