The fork is akin to the barbaric abbreviation, IMO.

[-] braxy29@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

nice to touch, bad to use. don't need utensils sliding around in my hands!

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 4 points 6 days ago

I bet the people that like this design also think horizontal Wii remote is comfortable.

[-] KulunkelBoom@lemmus.org 3 points 6 days ago

Prison motif. Nice.

550€ is the money that they give to me if I can finish a meal using that "fork"?

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Very close to the utensils I had in the army. Where's the damn spoon?

[-] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

At least the army utensils had the benefit of being foldable.

Depends if any of the edges dig into skin when trying to use.

This is the sort of thing that your most pretentious relative buys, invites the family over for dinner, then spends the whole time fishing for compliments.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Oh, I thought the opposite. Only time I see cutlery lacking shape is for cost-cutting. Rare to see disposable cutlery come in steel.

"I like the added challenge of your fork constantly slipping from my grip. It's so cool how you found one of our most basic tools, and made it as challenging as it is ugly."

Wow is that all it took to make the abolitionist principles leave my body?

(As non functional items I appreciate the aesthetic but looking at them and picturing how they feel makes me want to vomit)

Melt em down, try again.

... either that or put them in an 'anti human art exhibit', along side the minimum wage machine that cranks out a penny every couple of minutes, and ... a modern budget airline seat.

[-] db_null@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

Someone please build this machine!

It takes a 2€ coin, as you crank the wheel it spits out 1ct in the front and a 100€ bill drops out the back into a vault you can look into but not access.

Lol "team tism" doesn't work so well in an australian context since TISM is an anonymous art-rock band known for songs such as "I'm on the drug (that killed river phoenix)" and "You're a wanker".

[-] Mok98@feddit.it 30 points 1 week ago

Not officially on the team, but the knife has a pretty dangerous design: you can't immediately visually distinguish the blade from the handle, also in slippery conditions if you're pushing the knife your fingers slide immediately from the handle to the blade. The fork is eh, but the width of the handle makes it very hard to spin in your hand, so it would be bad for eating long pasta like spaghetti.

[-] draco_aeneus@mander.xyz 18 points 1 week ago

That would be a problem if the knife was sharp, but you can immediately tell that knife is as blunt as a beach ball.

I love it so much I need the full name and address of the person who made this, including if they have security cameras, where their blind spots are, and if they arm their home security when they go to bed.

@ickplant Very close to the "Arne Jacobsen" tableware featured in "2001 a Space Oydessy". Do I win anything for remembering obscure tableware from 50 years ago? 😜

Lmao. Here I was happily scrolling then just….

‘Fucking die’

[-] kungen@feddit.nu 13 points 1 week ago

Does anyone know what these are called? I legitimately want to buy a set for my frenemy.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I thought you said "for my family" for a second and was getting ready to report you to CPS.

I wouldn't tell anyone I'd started metalworking, but there'd be signs.

Like all my metal things look like garbage.

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 12 points 1 week ago

Absolutely not.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago

I'm not entirely sure if I am part of the team, but for sure I'm part of the group that hates this.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I never thought silverware could look stupid... Until today
