Unless it's Warren Peace, no one should be doing this!?

Warren peace

Guessing you're dictating this to your less-cultured secretary?

No it's a humorous adaption on the classic, that takes place in the woods and the characters are anthromorphised rabbits.

This doesn't actually save much space, which is why I cut mine in half horizontally across the pages

I know a woman that cut her textbooks in college to make them less heavy to carry. She is unique.

Wait, there is a NEW testament?!

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but it doesn't really make a lot of sense. The way it gives the big guy a chatacter 180 when a huge part of his presentation has been his perpetuity... idk, not buying it.

The protag does have some fire lines though.

Looking at this awakened the memories of back pain from lugging all those fucking textbooks around when I was in school. God, why were they not split into a dozen parts like this? Do kids still carry them these days?

[–] darkmogool@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

Get the pitchforks!

[–] zenzanzoo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Release the hounds!

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 days ago

I have a compact paperback copy of The Count of Monte Cristo that this would be helpful but the end pages will just fall off for most bindings so it’s not a good idea.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was an only child, but i can see this being invented when a parent or teacher figured out a way for 2 kids to read the same book at the same time, given one has a half book head start.

They're gonna be damaged by simply reading them anyways. If they didn't want the books damaged, they should come in smaller parts.

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Nahhhh, get an ebook or borrow from a library. And perhaps find some lighter reading for on the go. You do you, though.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

wtf

Like some psycho hobo

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Ngl this inspires me. I was just looking up pocket versions of books I could stuff in my tool bag. It never occured to me I could just butcher a book.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

If you cut Infinite Jest in half, and half of infinity is infinity, is it now two Infinite Jests? Should every page in Infinite Jest be page ∞ since they're all a division of infinity?

I don't know smart math things so I'm just bs'ing here, please don't tell me how wrong I am.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

They are a magician. They make two books out of a single book. (At least they didn't cut it hamburger style 🫠)

I don't get the reverence for copies of mass produced objects. I love music too but i don't care if someone uses a marker to write their name on a vinyl jacket. (As long as it's not a rare copy)
