Hypothetically speaking, if one were to buy spaghetti, would you get more spaghetti if you purchased it by weight or by volume? I've talked about it to some people, and we can't really come to an agreement. (The difference between dry and wet spaghetti hasn't really been fully thought through, as adding water adds both weight and volume to the spaghetti noodles.)

what do you mean "more?" you'd get the same amount you dumb piece of shit

Like, let's set a baseline of kilos of spaghetti vs liters of spaghetti. I'm really not sure that they would be the same amount of spaghetti.

Uh spaghetti isn't measured in litres? Where do you live?

>>8469946
I mean, I wouldn't think anywhere measures spaghetti in liters. Like I said, this is all hypothetical.

Calculate it by mass.

Or use the Pythagorean Theorem,

It's easy OP! If it sinks in water go for the weight!

anyway the thread could have more sense if it was about ice-cream. Ice cream is the queen of volume vs weight jewery. Volume? masterful air pockets. Weight? shaved ice

weight = mass * gravity
volume = mass / density

weight / gravity = volume * density
assuming the noodles you have are uniformly dense, there is a direct correspondence between weight and volume, so it doesn't matter theoretically, though this means that spaghtti would cost less on the moon

just plug the prices into that

How high are you?

>> No.8470933

surely no matter what you got in the end it would all weigh the same?

you can have 10 tall spaghettis that weigh the same as 50 small spaghettis but by the end of it you have the same amount of spaghetti
