I'm not sure if you're being serious or not but it's the same as wedges being 'healthier' than fries (less surface area to absorb oil or something, LIFEHACK) For the same total volume/mass of spaghetti/chips/etc. the thinner the individual chip is the less volume per chip, giving you more individual items for the same net volume.

Lifehax: For maximum surface area, just run your spaghetti through a coffee grinder before cooking. MMM, homogenous paste.

The surface area per strand of spaghetti decreases but you get more strands per standard gram serving, so you end up with more surface area per serving.

If we take a spaghetti strand to be a cylinder, the formula for surface area is 2*pi*r^2 + 2*pi*r*h, so decreasing the diameter of the spaghetti would decrease the surface area. I legitimately never thought about the surface area absorbing stuff though. Goosed it. posted:The surface area per strand of spaghetti decreases but you get more strands per standard gram serving, so you end up with more surface area per serving. Ok that makes a lot more sense.

But it decreases the volume with r^2 and the surface area with r, meaning that volume decreases faster. A baseball has a higher surface area / volume ratio than a basketball.

I understand that, but the sentence I read that confused me was "runnier stuff you want to increase the surface area, hence thinner spaghetti."

ChaosArgate posted:I understand that, but the sentence I read that confused me was "runnier stuff you want to increase the surface area, hence thinner spaghetti." A pound of thin pasta will have more total surface area than a pound of thick pasta. For example, a completely solid one-pound sphere of pasta-material would have the minimum possible surface area. A one-pound cloud of disassociated pasta molecules would have the maximum possible.

Yeah, I see my mistake now, I was comparing individual strands of spaghetti and not actually looking at the combined surface area of a full serving for a thicker pasta compared to a thinner one.

Tiggum posted:If you're camping, you are surrounded by actual kindling. Sometimes it's hard to find larger logs, but when are you ever going to be in a situation where you have everything you need for a fire except kindling? Many backpackers bring not only numerous ignition methods (I think the safety guideline is 3) but also a lightweight kindling. This is because in the outdoors, the weather is not always going to cooperate and it can be very difficult or impossible to gather suitable kindling from the surrounding environment. If you are in danger of hypothermia being able to start a fire quickly will likely save your life. Typically these kindling materials are things like dryer lint, cotton balls dipped in petroleum or a magnesium bar which can be shaved. However, it doesn't hurt to know that certain oil rich foods can also be used in a pinch. None of this matters in a typical car camping or beach bonfire scenario where the problem can be solved with the old standby of lots of lighter fluid.

ChaosArgate posted:I understand that, but the sentence I read that confused me was "runnier stuff you want to increase the surface area, hence thinner spaghetti." Thinner spaghetti has more surface area by weight and by volume than thicker spaghetti. You may have been thinking of it by noodle. If you think of an equal weight of sheets of paper and a brick, one clearly has way more surface area. If you think of a ball and then the same ball cut into hundreds of flat ball segments, one has more surface area. So if you have exactly one cup of noodle material, the thinner the cut of the noodles, the more surface area they will present to your sauce. Also I always carried a huge ziploc bag filled with dryer lint when I went backpacking, that stuff is the tits. It weighs nothing, I wasn't tempted to eat it, and it lights on fire at a near scary pace.

You could kill off your gut flora against the explicit advice of a professional or you could set up a composting toilet and indeed never flush again but  I guess.
