QuoteA tin of mince pies baked during World War Two has been put on display after being discovered immaculately preserved under the floorboards of a hotel.

I know a man who'd live to tuck into those

Bah! That use of the word "discovered" prevents me from posting 'The Fall Consider Rewrite'.

Also, this is probably the only time I'll come into the technology forum, so make the most of me, Technocunts.

All I can ever think of nowadays whenever something like this comes up is that awful Ashens guy leaning in with his fork and sarcastically muttering "eurgh it tastes of rot, deary me modern mince pies are so much fresher than these.  Nice one 'the past' for not being the same as today."

There you go, tied it into the Technology forum for you, insofar as a YouTube channel counts as Technology.

Would you eat a WWII mince pie for money? What about if it let you do a Good night Sweetheart.

Travel back to the 1940s I mean. You bit into one and it took you back to the day the pie was made.

Would you need to take a modern pie with you (a tesco finest or similar) to bite into to return to the modern times?

That's a good point
Probably
Someone needs to try it.

I think if you want to be logical about it you'd probably return back to the present day by either sicking the pie up, or doing a big pieey poo.

That would certainly make the most sense.

So you'd have to bung yourself up if you wanted to stay longer than a few days?

If you only ate the pie, would you not do any poo? How much pie would need to be in the poo for you to return? Or is it any amount?

When I eat a pie I poo the entire pie out almost intact as I can't digest pies.

If you took the WWII pie back with you to WWII and ate a bit more of it before having your WWII pie poo, would you

a) Stay a bit longer in WWII because of the extra WWII pie in you that isn't pooed up when you do your WWII pie poo

or

b) Find that you go back even further in time because somehow the WWII pie has a cumulative effect.

I think it's a, Chris.

What a stupid question. NO WW2 PIE COULD EVER TAKE YOU FURTHER BACK THAN WW2.

I don't care how old they are, I'd scoff the lot, eh readers?

But what if it only takes you back to WWII by chance, because actually what a WWII pie does is take you back in time 75 years?  Then multiple pies would take you further back and we wouldn't need no gobshites like you telling us otherwise.

Nobody will know before they properly sit down and eat the things, which they are categorically not doing.  It's all talk talk talk.   OOOH BUT THEY ARE WWII PIES WHICH MEANS THIS.  NO.  SHUT UP AND EAT.

Mastication is another one of those conspiracy myths that needs to die with the AIDS needle.

It's not a WW2 time travel pie if it takes you back 75 years then is it? It would only coincidentally be a WW2 pie between the years 2014-2020, eat it in any other year and you'd miss the entire conflict. An actual WW2 time travel pie would always take you to the fixed period of 1939-45, regardless of when you eat it. IF YOUR TIME TRAVEL PIE DOES NOT DO THIS THEN DON'T CALL IT A WW2 PIE PLEASE.

IT IS ONLY CALLED A WWII PIE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ASSUMING THAT TAKING THEM BACK 75 YEARS MAKES IT A WWII PIE RATHER THAN A 75 YEAR PIE

WILL PEOPLE PLEASE JUST EAT THE FUCKING PIES AND TELL US WHAT HAPPENS I AM SICK OF ALL THIS SPECULATION

SHOW NOT TELL PLEASE CHIBNALL
