do you prefer your pasta
@packbat chiral pasta is frequently also extruded!
-F
@packbat really most pasta is extruded
you get the spirally ones by having your extrusion die shaped to kinda rotate it as it goes out
-F
@Felthry No strong opinions either way!
wtf is chiral pasta
@nautilee like the spirally kinds
i was thinking about how people always use pasta as an example of something that's chiral when talking about the idea of chirality in chemistry and then this happened
-F
@Felthry gonna be honest, I had no idea "chiral" was an actual thing and not just a word Kojima made up for Death Stranding
(that game's setting involves the use of something called a Chiral Network that allows nanomachine-like fabrication of things from base materials)
@connie huh! i guess this is one of those cases of "thing we know about from our very specialist education that we assume is just common knowledge for some reason"
-F
@Felthry chiral pasta is extremely good but we've been way into extrusions lately so we ended up voting that way!
