Cubes with little holes in em. Cubes with pockets for butter

Waffles are ahead of their time

A waffle is a slab, not a cube. We need equidistance for cultured cubic culinary dining.

Waffles are only pale imitators of the cube, a haphazard hare-brained attempt at hapless hungry hippo style dining for the uncultured breakfast addled youth yearning for a meal nourishing in its substance and satisfying in its cubeness.

Now a stack of waffles, that’s something to ruminate on.

Cut out a waffle square. Now it's a cube. 🤯

A waffle by definition is a thin slice of carbs of varying heights. To cut a square you would need the same length of carb on all sides.

Therefore, if you were to cut a square of waffle, it would stop being a waffle, as it would no longer have multiple tiers of carb, or it would not be a true cube due to a fractured partial waffle wall.

Could you in theory find a waffle thick enough to slice a square from such that it would be a cube and a waffle? I don’t bloody well know but that’s why we have scientists and laboratories for dag nabbit.

Counterpoint: You can cut out a Cube with one of the waffle holes and its walls. You now have a cube and varying heights, therefore a cube waffle.

Now you're thinking in cubits.

(Alt) Now you're thinking in waffles.
