It would probably be more impressive if they would feed him not only the left ones.

[–] BritishCynic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I want a diagonal Twix now.

[–] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago (7 children)

The text on a Twix wrapper runs in the same direction as the Twix inside, so it's better to say they're top and bottom Twix - otherwise it's ambiguous based on the direction of the packaging.

Also, for double blind experimentation, she shouldn't know whether it's a left or a right.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago

Take it up with Twix themselves. They're the ones who say they have a left and a right one

I stand behind my Twix

This could be a useful way to describe an unopened Twix. But once it's been opened, the direction of the Twix relative to the opening (with the text being at the top) matters more than the direction relative to the text.

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 days ago

I'd be throwing in some of the individually wrapped single twix you get in some mixed packs.. just to throw them off and add some statistical interest.

[–] sorter_plainview@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

This person experiments on humans.. /s

[–] Zidane@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

Thankfully you added a /s or I would have thought they actually experimented on humans

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

As long as you can choose to stop eating the Twix at any time, and they don’t encourage you to eat an unhealthy/dangerous amount of them, this would probably be easy to run past an IRB.

[–] StarMerchant938@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wouldn't you just go by the same alignment as you would on the spine of a book? First letter at the top and read downwards.

[–] randy@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Oddly enough, that convention isn't universal. Top-to-bottom is typical in the US, UK, and Commonwealth, while bottom-to-top is common in continental Europe and non-anglophone Americas.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

All this means is that left or right are both the correct answer depending on one's perspective, on the other hand you are wrong because you open the twix at one end and take either the left or the right one

Fake: no grown man can handle that much chocolate.

Gay: they’re shaped like dicks, a bit, and anon throated over three hundred of them

I didn't get any Twixes either :c

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Not what I meant 😵

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Some day you'll find the right person.

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The joke: ✈️

My head: 🤯

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't have a nice hat like that.

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

Exploding head, not a hat x)

I'm getting bullied over here 😭

I don't want to have relations with candy, but I won't judge your desire to.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe the wrong person, but that's okay too.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Dude ate 329 Twix halves or 164 (and a half) Twixes. That's one hell of a sugar overload :D

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We don't know how long he's been there—could have been months

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Its actually an experiment to see how long someone can survive off Twix. The administrator is simply keeping the subject entertained with this left right twix discussion.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

They even encourage them by claiming their answer is always correct. Otherwise the test subject becomes frustrated and stop the experiment.

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

123 kcal per Twix is about 40k kcal

about 4 days worth of calories if you’re around 600 lbs

Anon loves BBC 😋

Those aren't guesses.
