    Ok hear me out. Off center inequality is the best choice. It gives the most options for portion size, like maybe I don’t want 2 slices. Maybe I only want 1.4 slices. With all others, that isn’t possible.

        It’s so you can start with the big slices, and then slowly eat the smaller slices until nothing else fits. It makes it so you don’t end up with a half-eaten slice.
