People who do this should be beaten to death.

Why did you use fucking spaghetti if you didn't actually want spaghetti? It's long for a reason. If you don't want that then use a different fucking pasta. This shit is actually messier to eat than normal-length spaghetti.

You don't need a foot long strand of pasta. Breaking it in half is fine. If this really bothers you, you need some medication.

Now if you broke it into like one inch pieces, I'd refer you back to my medication comment.

You need to place your hands together in the middle of the spaghetti rather than at the end, that way you don't get bits flying everywhere.

Hey guys, I'm cooking spaghetti right now and I snapped it in half.
It's not even because I think it won't fit in the pot, I just don't like eating them when they're too long, because I'll end up getting sauce on my shirt, it's easier to twirl them around the fork when they're only half the length

To cook pasta properly you should have a very large amount of water relative to the pasta. This prevents the temperature of the water from dropping too much when you add the pasta to the pot.

they're not having trouble making it though - they fixed the problem.

anyway its not like it degrades the quality of the pasta its just trading one arbitrary length for another. it literally doesnt matter one bit - in fact shorter is objectively better as it fits easier into the pan.

shorter noodles don't wrap around the fork as well.

when the noodles look like this around your fork, it forms a more solid mass that gives a better texture when you chew it. short noodles are like having loose worms in your mouth.

And it makes no sense to me. One of the wonders of spaghetti is biting into that perfectly portioned cocoon you've made on your fork, releasing that pasta flavor which is hopefully not drowned with too much sauce but enhanced by just the right amount.
