It's easier to eat salad with chopsticks than with a fork.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

It’s easier to eat rice from a bowl with a spoon than chopsticks imho
Easier to eat sticky rice (like in Japan) with chopsticks than a spoon, and cultures that don't make sticky rice (China, Korea) don't eat rice with chopsticks.
Actually I know Korea uses a spoon and I think China does for fried rice but if they have a bowl of white rice they might use chopsticks because it's culturally acceptable to pick up the bowl and just kind of push it into your mouth.
Good luck eating Thai sticky rice with chopsticks though 😂
They do eat sticky rice in Korea and eat them with (metal) chop sticks. I've never seen any family or restaurant serving non-stick rice.
I'll have to take your word for it. I've been to Korea a few times but I can't quite remember what other people were using for their rice in restaurants. I know they at least use it for stuff like bibimbap, and I've seen a couple Koreans say they use spoons for just rice on yt

Yes, rice is best eating with spoons. I have no idea how people eat rice with chopsticks. They're crazy. Actually I think they eat sticky chunky rice, so they pick up the rice in clusters with chopsticks and that's great for them but that is not the kind of food I eat so whatever.
Burnnnn
I like my rice mixed with sauce
