We have to lock ours in a safe because our cat’s an asshole
We would like to see the evidence
Oh, you’ve got a carb nibbling goblin, too? If we accidentally forget to put away the bagels, the bread, the muffins, the cookies, the cake, the insert whatever carb treat here… We will inevitably wake up to find tiny holes chewed out of the bag or box and shredded crumbs everywhere, including stuck to the little asshole’s fur.
Hate this diagram because who uses a bread box without any of the other non-chaotic evil options.
Chaotic neutral and lawful good is the GOAT
Drop the bread box and just gently squish the entire loaf before twisting and tucking to basically vacuum seal it. That’s my GOAT
This. For soft crumb American sandwich sliced bread, you want as little air circulation as possible, balanced only by not crushing the loaf. A bread box is a quaint place to toss the bread once you squish the air out, but without the bag it’s basically the same as the chaotic evil option.
Does anyone still have a bread box? I assume it’s to stop rodents, but hopefully most people don’t have rodents in their house. Does a bread box do anything else, or is that another technology that can fade into history?
Edit: TIL;
I bought bread box once but every time we used it the bread wouldn’t last 3 days. Can anyone explain why that was?

Really I am supposed to use whole loaf of bread in 3 days?
No, you’re supposed to buy a loaf, use 1/3 of it before it goes bad, throw away the rest, and buy another loaf.
That’s fuck up.

I have a bread box…which I generally don’t keep my bread in
I have one! I love it, it’s got a magnetic door my cat can’t open is one of my best purchases ever. I use it for baked goods, though, not bread. It’s too humid where I am to keep bread fresh at room temperature.
Never thought of that - I usually put baked goods in the microwave to keep them sort of fresh. Is it big enough for a 9”x12” baking pan? Tall enough for a layer cake?
Mine is not, it has two shelves which would each fit a 9*5 loaf pan with a little room on each end. Or like four cereal bowls of cookies. They do make bigger ones, but I imagine a microwave probably works just as well for something that gets eaten quickly.
I do neutral evil because I haven’t seen a reason to do anything else.
You’ve never ended up with stale or moldy bread? I’m envious.
Bread is a stapleware, as such it needs to be eaten. Keeping the bag open for easier (tactical), time-critical access is a thus a necessity.
That’s why I live that chaotic neutral life.
Because of that? Not that I know of. From it being much past the best before date of course.
Chaotic neutral for me. The twist tie goes in my twist tie collection.
idk why anyone would choose anything but chaotic neutral
unless you own a breadbox
Exactly! Everything else is just extra steps for the same result.
I put mine in the fridge. Why? It lasts longer.
Freezer is my preference. Stays good for very long and keeps the texture and freshness. Put it in toaster or microwave after if in a hurry, otherwise you can just put slices in the fridge so you have unfrozen ones for the breakfast.
I just never bake mine.
Jokes on you, de-aired, twisted, twist tied and tucked

When you say de-air, do you gently squish the whole loaf before twisting as well to effectively vacuum seal it?
Yes
Here’s a version for my fellow gluten-free peeps:
Funniest comment so far, you get a prize! An upvote.
Thank you! I want to ::sniff:: thank my coach, the whole team ::sniff::, and especially my mom for helping make this happen! ::sniff:: Love you mom!
I use a bread box and still put the bread in its original bag with the original clip.
True lawful good. Bread box alone is chaotic evil disguised as lawful good.
Bread box doesn’t preserve air retention or protect against anything smaller than a mouse (roaches, air borne nasties).
I think in my entire life I’ve only ever seen one or maybe 2 bread boxes.
10th option: eat the entire loaf in one sitting.
I was thinking that this matrix is missing an accompanying time-chart but I don’t know how to plot the y axis.
No slip knot?
A slipknot works great! It’s done in a second and easily undone as well.
I do the same. I don’t understand why it puzzles some people. They look at me like I put a padlock on it and I have to undo it for them, which is just pulling the end…
I’m chaotic neutral!
Where does “twist and pull back over the loaf” fall? Same as twist and tuck essentially?
Yeah, it’s really just chaotic neutral but fancier.
