The default length of pasta is designed to fit on a supermarket shelf, not to be the best length for cooking/eating.
Feel free to break it to any length you want (don't let the Italians know I said this)
Make sure I fit in the pot at least.
Shorter pasta could definitely fit on a store shelf. Longer pasta however...
Free yourself of corporate interests and demand comically and inconviently long pasta
Pasta so long it can't fit in your car and you gotta tie it to the roof. Pasta so long you gotta cook it outside because your ceiling is too low.
I think space filling pasta would be the best of all worlds. Easy to fit on shelves, long, and fits in the pot without breaking!
Good luck manufacturing it, but I think it could be done by extrusion and chopping, but I don't know if it'd be spaghetti still

This post gains more and more notes as we approach the day
I’ve had a store sell spaghetti which was half a metre long once. It was really good.
I’ve only made pasta from scratch once, as a 10-year-old with my childhood best friend at the behest of her grandmother. We were shown the pasta roller. We were shown the dough. We were instructed to roll it through the machine on consecutively thinner settings. Piece of cake.
At no point, however, were we told to cut the pasta.
Her grandmother came back an hour later to find a single continuous ribbon of cursèd pappardelle strung up and down their narrow kitchen over chair backs and counter tops. We were getting desperate and running out of surfaces but mama didn’t raise no quitter. If I recall we were in the process of reaching for the hanging light fixture when this tiny Mormon granny appeared in the doorway looking absolutely aghast.
Anyway, I love pasta.
