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

- That's a foforkrk.

- AAAAAAAA!!!

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

Ahh now I know why it takes me forever to eat soup.

Very interesting. Is there somewhere I can buy a fork that doesn't have those slots?

- I think you're looking for some hoes to fork,

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.

Chopsticks don't have any slots, why can't I have soup with those then?

14
- Ah yes, the scientific process.

Slots ruin everything..

- Your fork's a slot

  You calling me a forking slot?

  Changing a few letters doesnt change what this joke is (misogynisy),
  
  Ah yes, those mean people, having sex, without you.
  
  -10
- It's because of all those slot machines.

Stop slot shaming!

10
- Yeah, maybe the slots are perfect, and the soup should change.

If you find this kind of humour humourous, look for "Look around you". It's around on YouTube so go take a look!

- I used to fall asleep to that when it was airing on Adult Swim lol

Not with that attitude you can't

TIL

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

7
- Ah yes, just peel the slots off

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

  Good way to eat noodles imo.

Slotted spoons don’t hold much soup.

6
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.

6
- But indecent, if not in east asia.

  ELI5 please

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!

Casual players shouldn't do fork builds.

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.

Unless you use a Vichyssoise fork. It's all in the wrist.

We doing cutlery now?

Alright. I've seen stranger stuff on Lemmy.

Proceed.

Where were you all the times I couldn’t eat soup?!

Remember when the internet was chock-full of useful information? Nowdays you have to search far and wide to find anything that's beyond common everyday knowledge and also correct.

- No

Why is he touching it though.

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

A very good metaphor for life 🤣🙏🤲👌👈🤫

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

Forks are diet spoons.

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

Ysgramor can pick up soup with a fork

User error. Just use colder soup.

Unless it has got many vegetables

Liar. Fill the slits and try to eat soup.

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.

- Missing a half assed serrated mess on one side
