How is this possible?

This infinite chocolate or endless chocolate lifehack is based on the famous missing square puzzle ;)

The only impossible part of this trick is actually doing it because ITS SO DAMN HARD TO CUT CHOCOLATE IN A TRIANGLE

[peepock]

For anyone wondering, the two triangles don’t have the same angles. At the beginning it bends outwards and at the end it’s bending inwards. Both very subtly.

[ReverMadow]

it was the most aggressive NOM NOM I’ve ever heard

[NightVision]

For everyone who's wondering how it works. At the end there is actually some chocolate missing if you look closely how the cut is aligned. The video works in a loop because the outline that appears on the end basically spawns the little chocolate back

[mastervibes]

For those wondering how, the two small triangles have different angles on the hypotenuse, so basically they don't join together to make a triangle, it's more of a quadrilateral.

[CCABPSacsach]

The blue triangle rises 5 pieces, and runs 2. Using rise/run, the slope of this triangle is 2.5
The red triangle rises 8 pieces, and runs 3. Its slope is 2.66, slightly more than 2.5
The missing wedge accounts for this eaten piece, but it does indeed serve the orupsoe of being able to steal one piece without anyone noticing.

[rgerdem]

That "nom nom" was personal 💀

[reecetinkler]

For anyone looking for an answer to how this works. The smaller triangles hypotenuse has a vector of (-2, 5) or simplified in 1:n (-1, 1/2), and the larger triangles hypotenuse has a vector of (-3, 8), or (-1, 2/3). So we can see the diagonal line is not perfectly straight.
We can also work this out by looking at the area of the empty space. Since the triangles stay the same, we can instead look at the whole rectangles. The first leaves us with a rectangle of 8*2 or 16 blocks, while the second leaves us with 3*5 or 15 blocks, showing that the piece has gone missing.

[JPHPG_ames]

the key is to animate the faded white line so more chocolate appears on the right edge after the white line disappears

[liquidcashews]

“Take a piece of chocolate and eat it. *nom nom*” I’M DYING RIGHT NOW

[aniruddharao]

If you repeat this enough times, you'll start noticing the reduction in volume and mass

[aidenzand]

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW IT WORKS. For The first triangle the line separating them is slightly inwards compared to the second that is bend outwards

[MoseleySquad]

Explanation:

It loses a tiny sliver of the hypotenuse (the long side) making up for the missing piece

[_binzy]

For those wondering how he loops it without it losing mass, he sneakily adds more chocolate under the white diagonal line

[gnimag]

the devs keep forgetting to patch this bug smh

[Mr.Michel]

According to Dalton’s theory, matter can not be CREATED nor destroyed. Therefore, this is impossible and you either manipulated everything so that it looked like it was infinite, or there is a very small piece missing that is hard to notice.

[ewerest]

you can eat the WHOLE chocolate bar, and then carefully shape the chocolate wrapper as if there is a chocolate bar inside.

[SweetBreezin]

it’s a good thing physics and math still exist, this is all the legendary power of editing

[Fwe_Bubax]

The "nom nom" thing need a Oscar😂

[Then.]

Watch the white line move when he says put it back together. The missing piece of chocolate is being distributed across the whole side (it’s hypotenuse) of the new big triangle.
