Ignoring the humor of this to throw down to facts.
There are brownie pans that have multiple cells such that each brownie is a single serving with four edges. Basically a cupcake pan but with squares.
This is only 2-3 edges per brownie; an inferior experience.
This allows you to maintain a higher volume, so more brownies per pan with multiple edges.
Okay, but the volume depends on the batter, not the pan.
I’m pretty sure the pan has a finite volume, unless it has some sort of space-folding technology.
I love my 4 dimensional brownies! You can fit so many edges onto them!
It’s like L-space from the Unseen University Library, but it’s B-space. It contains every conceivable recipe of brownies.
They’re reusable though
Okay so this doesn’t matter and I don’t want to argue, so I’ll just honestly ask - what do you mean? I am genuinely confused.
I think they’re trying to say that the amount of brownie is dictated by the amount of batter you have, and you can use one tray as many times as necessary to use up all the batter
But the amount of brownie is also determined by time spent baking
Originally bringing total pan volume into it confused me, a baking pan has an upper limit to how much brownie you can bake per cycle in it, but by the time you are anywhere near that limit you are probably already better off using a second pan.
The example brownies from the picture are nowhere near that limit, so if there was a moderate but significant decrease in the volume of the pan in the change to the squares It doesn’t seem like it should be a problem even on a per cycle basis. Even so, the cost of doing an additional cycle of baking is not that high anyways.
The main factor in how much volume of brownie you make will be the amount of brownie batter you make. Non-euclidean space isn’t required to bake an additional 25% or so of brownies by volume in that pan, and so your reply seemed snide, and I responded kurtly.
baking pan has an upper limit to how much brownie you can bake per cycle in it
Okay, and I just want to check - do you think that this limit - which I assume would be measured in volume - might be what the person was referring to by the “volume” of the pan? Or do you think they meant something else? If so, what?
your reply seemed snide
That’s probably because it was.
I can HIGHLY recommend brownie batter put into non-standard pans. Madeline pans make excellent bite sized brownies, and cupcakes are good too. Just don’t put too much into each one, otherwise the center doesn’t bake and achieve the desired gooey texture.
Yep. I have this brownie pan, it does an excellent job, but I wouldn’t have gotten it if I had found the four-edge-per-brownie pans first.
Yoo, the lasagna pan from the expanse
Omg, you’re right.
lol omg it is!
Ha! That’s amazing! Some of the best props are just weird looking shit that we’ve had for decades.
this pre-dates The Expanse :)
They’re trying to say the set dresser bought one of the for the show.
That this looks like a meandering river of shit seems more topical to edge.
Is there a reverse version of this where all the brownies are middle brownies? That’s the version I want.
A spherical tray should work. Make sure it has enough mass to make its gravitational field hold on to the batter and suspend it in the oven using magnets.
Good lord…You’ve just described a brownie tokamak
Panko bread dough is placed between two metal surfaces, and is cooked by running an electric current through it. This avoids any crust forming, causing it to be very uniform.
I imagine you could do the same with brownies.
Yes, I would like to invest in your electric crustless brownie company. Call me when you have a prototype ready.
Sous vide maybe?
Well a circle has the best ratio for your liking i think. But maybe ask your local magician for some un edged Brownies ;).
Well technically a hollow sphere would be best… Works best in space though
Magic brownies sound amazing! Maybe I should move back to California.
I suppose you could bake a brownie sphere in microgravity. That might be hard to get the center cooked without burning the surface though. Maybe a metal ball as a pan that you could coat with batter.
I love edging.
Average Microsoft Edge fanboy
I don’t understand this joke, is anyone willing to explain it for me?
I don’t fully get it either. It’s either the browser Edge or edging yourself for hours on end. Lol
I was wondering where the weird w-like symbol formed by the brownie pan means something.
It’s because people like edge pieces of brownies, so this pan ensures that every piece has an edge.

It’s a joke about edging
I don’t even know what edging is haha. Oh well. Getting old.
Edging is not a new thing, really. You’ve probably just never encountered the concept. Edging is the practice of bringing yourself to the edge of orgasm before backing away. The idea is that when you do finally orgasm it’s been “built up to” by the earlier edging so you get a better climax.
Oh yeah that’s my shit! Thank you.
That’s okay, at a certain age it becomes irrelevant information anyway.
Edging, look it up on urban dictionary.
I’m familiar with edging, but I’m not sure I see the joke. That might be because “edge” feels somewhat semantically separate to “edging” in my mind. As a clearer example of what I mean, if the word “edgy” came up, I would be way more likely to think of it as describing someone or something that tries too hard to be dark and provocative. I’d be very confused if someone used “edgy” as an adjectivified form of “edging”.
Besides that though, I’m sure that edging was a thing 15 years ago; the Wikipedia article for “edging(sexual practice)” dates back to 2006, for one. Part of why I didn’t get the joke is because I can’t think of any logical link between edging and 15 years ago, so I think I concluded that the meme wasn’t about the sex thing.
Is there still something I’m missing, or am I just being supremely autistic about this?
If I say I had a good edge, it’s like saying I had a good wank. Look at the image and replace all instances of edge with wank
Edging my brownie 😍🟤💩
Missed opportunity marketing to Edgelords.
GoonPan
Just use a muffin pan, people! Then you’ve got 12 personal brownies that are all edge.
How does it feel? Being the smartest person in the room?
And an edge-lord, this speaks to me.
a typical example of “they knew”
This was in every Sky Mall catalog.
I miss Sky Mall so badly.
These days there’s nothing to do on a plane except play on your phone, and you can already do that literally anywhere else.
What there’s loads to do. You can awkwardly try not to touch the person next to you. You can hold it, because you’re stuck in the middle or window, and you don’t want to disturb the person next to you. You can drink the 2 oz of diet Coke they give you before they bring you peanuts, then desperately try to suck any amount of liquid out of the cup of ice you’re left with. You can try to get to your bag under the seat in front of you, fail because your feet are in the way, and spend the rest of the flight wishing you hadn’t done that.
Loads!
nah this asks the question why are we making brownies in a 9x13. like, what if we tossed it in a loaf pan or something I suck at baking
This looks like bowel movement.
