    Line em up and cut a third off both apples in one go? Everyone gets 2/3? Seems simple right? Consider the core. I don’t think it’s possible if you consider the core. You have to kill one of your friends.

    Cut both apples in half. One half for the blonde, one half for brownie, one half for the ginger, and the last half for the animals or something.

    Just eat out the apples together, ignoring the knife. Just take a bite and pass the apple to the next person, repeating the process until there is just a core. Not very sanitary, but mission accomplished.

    If you have one guy draw the knife over a long surface and distance, the other two can use that one slicing motion to cut the apples any number of times.

    ONE STROKE, 99 cuts!

    Non-murder solution:

    Place and hold the apples precisely on top of one another. (Make sure your fingers are not in the way.) From one side of the apple tower, go horizontally exactly two thirds of the way to the other side. At that position, cut vertically through both apples from top to bottom. You now have two pieces that are two thirds of an apple each, and two pieces that are one third each. The kid you like best will receive the end slices without the apple core in it.

    More realistically, disregard the stupid premise and make as many cuts as you need.

    Bold of you to assume I’m not going to go Voorhees on both of them, have an apple as desert and save the second apple for later.

    Obviously, I’m not going to eat the other two people. Without cooking them. And with the apple cores, I can make a lovely sauce to go with

    What I find particoularly annoying and interesting, is that most of those “silly/dumb” social network questions are engineered with at least 2, sometimes more layers, for the purpose of getting a reaction not really from the “dumb people” but also, possibly mostly, from the smartass that can’t help point out something they think they noticed, incongruity and the likes, unaware that those are there on purpose to bait them in.

    This case is a lot more blatant, possibly fake, but the “controversial” interpretation of stabbing one of the children is not an afterthoughts of the sick mind of us memers terminally online, it’s probably the core reason the thing has been shared and worded that way.

    I just hope my own reaction has not been 100% predicted.

      Oh god, you reminded me of those “memes” that are just someone one Twitter getting simple math wrong. Reddit was full of that crap and it seems it hasn’t quite reached Lemmy yet, but it might.

        no. the meme was created to make you think of stabbing people, with engagement bait paired in. op adds the awkward puppet meme, as if it’s a novel idea, but thatsthejoke.xls

        the above commenter is pointing out how this kind of engagement just falls for the engagement bait, and describes the type of person who would do so

    That’s socialist propaganda! You see, you cut both apples in half with one cut, everyone gets half an apple and the remaining half is given to someone who struggles affording life.
