PotD: Do you know how to use chopsticks?

[Mando Pandango]

i normally eat fried chicken with chopsticks

sometimes I feel like eating finger food like chicken tenders and chips with chopsticks would be a good idea to avoid getting my hands greasy or covered in dorito powder or whatever, but I don't do it

Yeah I've heard talk of eating things like Cheetos with chopsticks and it makes a lot of sense

update: i have since learned how to use chopsticks

the average four year old in china is probably still far more adept than i am but i'm proud to now report that i can, with some patience and deliberation, eat an entire meal with chopsticks

rice and noodles included

what made this so hard for me was the fact that almost every chopstick tutorial says 'hold it like a pencil', which is exactly what i would do, and it simply wouldn't work

Later I learned that I've gone my entire life holding pencils wrong, apparently. No wonder chopsticks didn't work.

[ikanaide]

yeah chopstick tutorials suck, just hold them how it works for you

it's been like a year since you said you finally learned so i should hope that you can use them no problem now lol

i just recently learned that i had been writing the letter 's' incorrectly for a long time too, who knew you were supposed to be starting from the top

[YPrrrr]

Oh yeah I always start from the bottom too. I was absent a couple days we learned to write the letters lol

[ikanaide]

writing the s from the bottom is so weird but also clearly more efficient now that i think about it

[Samus Aran]

one time my algebra teacher in middle school made fun of me for writing my "9"s starting from the bottom by writing a bunch of correct "9"s all over the top of a worksheet i turned in
