My greatest ever achievement in the kitchen was that time I successfully cut a bagel into two interlocked rings like this
you could gentrify a neighborhood selling these hipster mobius bagels to couples.
Stage 2 is for some hardware techbro to invent an artisanal moebius toasting methodology, and then suddenly even most white people can’t afford to live there.
This doesn't seem possible, but it's probable enough that I have thought about it way too long and I will probably have a dream about it in the near future.
Judging by the picture the slice is done in a spiral which results in two Mobius bagels
This is exactly it
It's sliced along the center, rotating the axis of slice 360 degrees as it goes along the circle, cutting it in two halves which interlock
I love topology
I'm not even mad, that's amazing.
I'm mentally shattered
I just want to know how many times people did this accidentally before Möbius gave it a name
There has been recognition of a particularly useful application of Möbius strips for a long time: belts in machinery wear out slower if they're Möbius strips, because that way the contact with the shafts is split between both sides of the belt. The oldest example of this usage I know of is from a 13th century engineer in the region of modern-day Iraq and Syria
