You just use two forks, with the prongs on one fork filling in the slots of the other. They call this practice 'spooking'.

This is what they mean when they say it's "spooky season"

This is what half of Tik-Tok feels like.

YouTube shorts as well. I long ago stopped bothering to look at any of them after the 666th one that was like "this incredible unknown fact about (insert franchise)" that is invariably someone basically pissing themselves in excitement reiterating a main story beat as if it was some kind of hidden secret.

The spork is the pinnacle of human ingenuity.

I disagree, i despise the spork. Combining two things that work best in their own task seperately is terrible. Try to get the last bit of pudding out a pudding cup or twirl noodles with it and you can see it's not as effective, terrible even.

Slots ruin everything..

Well, obviously you have to remove the slots before eating the soup. You guys really don't know anything, do you?

There's literally soup on the fork where the slots aren't, it's just inefficient.

Yet I still eat soup with a fork when I can. I eat the contents, then drink the broth from the bowl. I'm a tad in the wackadoo side maybe

Slotted spoons don’t hold much soup.

You don't need a spoon. It's in a bowl. You eat the solid bits with chopsticks then pick up the bowl and drink it! It's not rocket science.

But indecent, if not in east asia.

ELI5 please

Loudly sipping soup? Indecent.

Not sure, i do think in China/Japan/etc. generally too? Except for some dishes like ... damn, well the noodle soup.

I don't think I mentioned volume anywhere. I don't make any sound when I drink soup. Why would I not just drink the broth after I'm done eating the solid bits out of the soup? Are you bound by some crazy social rules that no one actually should be bound by? You really need to ask yourself these questions. I am most certainly not bound by any of those societal bullshits.

So now I'm gonna have to buy an add-on for my fork to fill in the slots?! I hate that goddamn enshitification is everywhere now!

Why is he touching it though.

I won't understand until I hear piratesoftware explain it.

While drawing diagrams that don't actually help anything but keep your attention like a cat watching a laser-pointer?

Silverware inventors have sold the lie that you need the spoon and fork seperately for years; when a spork can do both of their jobs perfectly. Buy sporks and never look back.

We doing cutlery now?

Alright. I've seen stranger stuff on Lemmy.

Proceed.

I knew it! It's a scam and always has been! Nobody wanted to believe me but now I have prove

Huh. That's why it is never working for me.

A very good metaphor for life πŸ€£πŸ™πŸ€²πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ˆπŸ€«

Jeez why do I act stoned when I'm clearly not stoned?

A spork is the perfect utensil.

You need one with a serrated edge so you can cut your mouth when you use it as a spoon.
