Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way?

What about reusing the bag clip plus the twist and tuck method?

natural evil. it's fine
- You don't even spin the loaf? That's half the fun

Twist and tuck all day erre'day
- All day until I started steady living with a woman. The twist tie or whatever must be attached at all times.
  Many years later we got a cheap plastic bread box and I gotta say it's awesome. You can twist and tuck and the bread stays good even longer.

What if I keep my bread in the fridge?
- Get out. Your kind isn't welcome here.

Always eat the entire loaf in one sitting.

Htf does the bottle cap work
- you cut the top of a plastic bottle with a knife or any kind of cutter, as you got the top, you got the part that have a screw cap, so, the next you have to do is make the bag go trough the hole, turn back the plastic and then close it with the screw cap.

I twist and tuck and keep it in a lower kitchen cabinet. Lasts so much longer than when I’d keep it in the counter. What is my alignment?

people own bread boxes?
- I got mine on the side of the road. Sanded it down and painted it up.
  I love it. Bread goes in. Stays fresh.
- We got one like a year ago and I love it. Cheap plastic thing. It's airtight. No more arguments about me not using that useless bread tie and the bread lasts longer.
- I have one. We still use the plastic bags, but just needed a place to put it that wasn't "out."
- At least three people on Earth own bread boxes. Elsewhere, I'm unsure.
- Since most of them are not airtight they suck like hell and they heat up in the summer to make a mold heaven. Some of them have gaps larger than a London subway station.

brilliant...

i have found that just tucking dries the bread just fast enough to not get mouldy, and dry bread can be just rehydrated by wetting it and putting it in an oven for a bit

Guess I'm lawful neutral because I rarely lose the bag clip. I will use a clip when that happens.

Lawful neutral until 2/3. After neutral evil.
- My neutral evil on a small partial loaf is basically rolling it until all the excess is tucked.

No other neutral evil folks? Ah well, I haven't eaten bread in ages anyhow.
- It is the optimal way. Lowest effort, fastest, same result, no additional stuff needed.

Step 1: get some real bread
- Step Sigma: Bake your own bread
  It's way easier than you think it is to make a basic loaf of yeast-based, white bread. I had the recipe memorized for a few months while I was first getting into it.
  iiffy on amounts but it ain't many ingredients
  Bread Flower
  Yeast
  Honey (because sugar is boring)
  Salt
  One Egg
  Level 2: Add more honey, slightly less yeast and toss brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in melted butter in it while rolling.
  bonus round: add raisins
- For real. I recently discovered that the bakery at the chain supermarket across the street from me sells giant loaves of sourdough for about a dollar less than even the "budget" brands in the factory-made bread aisle. Not going back.
  
  It just gets stale so fast. We don't eat that much bread.
  
  They usually have a bread slicer too

Maybe it depends on climate, but bread left out where I am gets moldy way before it gets stale. The best solution is to keep it in the freezer (in a bag, and any of those methods but CE would probably be fine). Weeks later, the bread is still soft and send fresh. Bread thaws unbelievably fast. If I'm making a sandwich, I take two slices out and put them on a plate separated. Usually by the time I've got the other ingredients ready to go, the bread is thawed. If you're toasting the bread, it can go straight from freezer to toaster. If you're making sandwiches to take to work or school, you can just make them on the frozen bread.
- This is the way. I rarely eat bread that isn't at least warmed, so the only issue with the frozen bread is the effort it sometimes takes to separate slices.

I tie a knot AND twist and tuck. Where does that leave me?

Chaotic evil would be rearranging the slices so they don't work for easy sandwiches.
- Chaotic evil includes eating the heels of the bread first, because you don't want that sweet extra protection layer from fungi.

Reuse the bag clip if it exists, otherwise tie a knot.

I learned how to do this and never went back.

Twist and tuck baby
- I want some scientific research into this, because I believe the twist and tuck is as good as any other method of sealing the bag, and it's faster and requires no accessories, clips, or tools.
  
  I take umbrage with this meme's characterization of the twist and tuck as chaotic. It's literally the fastest and easiest method without compromising freshness
  
  There is a minor downside: If anyone carelessly moves said bread bag, it can come untwisted, untucked, or both.
  But yeah, I'm on team twist and tuck. (Although, since I live with other people, I normally just continue the method currently in place.)
- We're talking about bread... Not balls.

Could you repeat in baguette, please?

I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something
- My grandma used one. Personally I think the real function was to keep mice from eating your bread, but that hasn't been a problem for a long time.
  
  https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-know-history/did-you-know-breadboxes-really-did-help-keep-bread-fresh
  
  that hasn't been a problem for a long time.
  Mice are still a thing, dude.
- How else to store real bread?
  So not just the sandwich/toast bread, that comes in plastic bags, but real bread, with a crust and in plastic wrap it would lose its crust, but without any protection, it dries out.
  It's a delicate balance act, where paper and a bread box seem to work best
  
  I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn't become spongey
- Same, my mom said I should get one when I moved out but we didn't even have one at home?? 😭
  
  She probably is just afraid you will leave the bag open and then eat moldy bread.
- They're pretty common here in Sweden, at least in my experience.
- My grandma had one. Growing up we just kept our bread & bagels in the microwave.
  
  Gf does this with baked goods. It's awful for me because I microwave a lot and don't always remember to put stuff back and it gets stale.

I simply do not allow an open bag of bread to be left unless all the bread have been eaten. Problem solved.
- True chaotic evil.

This is not bread mate
- It's legally cake?

Freezer bags, 4 slices per bag, in a freezer. That way I can take out only as much bread as I can eat before it gets moldy.

I do both lawful neutral and chaotic neutral at once. Am I paranoid?

What in the world is the bottle hack
- Cutting off the top of a bottle and jamming the bag through the lid to seal it.
  
  That sounds chaotic evil to me tbh
- You cut the head off a bottle so you have the screwy-bit. Then you pull the open end through the bottle-Head and screw the lid on.
  
  Hmmmmmmmmmm microplastics in my bread

Let's put an end to the discussion
lol
lmao
- ROFL 🤣🤣🤣

I feel like this alignment chart doesn't consider how evil you could get. Leaving the bag open seems pretty tame for CE. I suggest the following:
Lawful Good: bread box w/ the bag
Neutral Good: bag clip
Chaotic Good: twist and tuck
Lawful Neutral: bread box w/o the bag
True Neutral: original bread clip
Chaotic Neutral: twist or tuck, not both
Lawful Evil: bag is tied shut
Neutral Evil: bag is left open
Chaotic Evil: bag is torn open in the middle
- Chaotic evil: bread is tossed directly into the cupboard.
  
  Chaotic evil: bread is kept on the floor.

I save the little clip things from packaged buns and other stuff because they are way better than the twisty ties that usually come on sliced bread.

I twist, fold then put a clip on it. This also works well with the two common kinds of clips you get with the bag (plastic squareish thing with a hole like in the image and plastic thing with metal wire in it) and other clips you have yourself as the fold makes it so the bag doesn't untwist as much.
- You should try a vacuum sealer.

I keep my bread in the fridge, and then it doesn't matter.
I guess it means I'm in Pathfinder universe or something
- This, keep it in fridge and only tuck.
  Quick round in the toaster if needed for the cold bread, or not if it is used to make lunch to bring to work or something.

I'm just saying twist and tuck is the best because it seals well enough and it's fast and requires no additional equipment. If you have a breadbox that's peak convenience, but I've only seen one family that had one ever, and they had the counter space for it.
- Also worth noting: a bread box generally isn't sealed that well, I would still recommend keeping the bread in a bag (depending on what type it is and how quickly you plan to eat it).
- We have a bread box but keep the bread in the bag inside the box.
  
  Better put the bread box in the cupboard, just to be on the safe side.

Pros and cons of breadbox? Any paladins out there willing to enlighten us?
- Had one, hated it, forget the bread was in there* and it doesn’t have some sort of magical bread preservation properties, it’s just a spot taking up counter space to hold a plastic bag.
  (I recognize this is my specific problem but it’s on the list of why it doesn’t work for me)
  
  Same here though, the bread turns to a brick of mold way before even getting close to the end.
  The refrigerator might change the bread properties but at least it isn't ruined in two days.
- I've tried bread containers (like boxes, but sealed plastic) and it was awful. I swear it went moldy faster in the thing than outside it.
  
  Plastic seals in moisture, wood absorbs it

I am lawful neutral (use clip it came with) until about halfway through the loaf, then I become chaotic neutral (twist and tuck) at the back half.
There isn’t enough bag to properly twist and tuck until that point anyway.
- I'm lawful neutral until I lose the bread clip and go chaotic neutral. Sometimes I'm lawful good the whole time, but I've been chaotic at the start and that's fun!

Twist and tuck inside the breadbox obviously.

If you look at it, it's lawful good.
But at its core, it's chaotic neutral.
- True neutral?
  
  No, I'm twist'n'tucking in the bread box.

Twist, tuck, freeze

Do none of you people have clothes pins? Or does that count as Neutral Good?
Also, CG and CN need to be switched. There is no way the bottle hack counts as "good."
- A large amount of the US has some combination of weather, wildlife, regulations, and space constraints, that makes line drying clothing untenable. So... no?
  
  I only line dry my clothes when I think they need to be seasoned with some guano.

I tuck. I have found that it is the most reliable for keeping it from drying. Mostly j noticed this with bags of chips. Then I adapted that to bread.

As long as it's airtight and not stored for weeks it's ok. Use good bread though, not this bad imitation.

Lawful neutral, or if the clip gets lost, then chaotic neutral.
- Chaotic neutral also if it comes with one of those wire twist ties, ain't nobody got time for that. Only plastic clips get reused.
  
  Oh I like twisty ties! Because I just wrap it once around the bag, then I get to spin the bread like a nunchuck to twist it all up
