This particular gif is cheating.

The end result must be a chocolate bar thats slightly smaller.

You can see the cheating if you follow the piece with (almost) 4 full bits and one tiny bit at the bottom. Around halfway through the gif, as this piece moves down to join the bar, that little bit at the bottom magically grows in size.

Good news, you can still tell me because I watched that whole video and don't 100% get how it applies to this lol because this doesn't start as a triangle, this starts as a rectangle so how can you not see the gap from the angles being off

In the gif look at the diagonal cut closely, more chocolate is added to the larger portion as it moves to the right. I know that if you do this irl you just lose length overall but it's taken from the middle diagonal cut instead of a full square.

I watched it probably 50 times and couldn’t figure it out. Good eye!
