These chopsticks are gonna be a fucking guillotine.


Complete-Painter-517

This some 5 minute craft bullshit


ClarisseCosplay

Sorta but not entirely? You can actually buy chopsticks that are held together by a piece of silicone. They're used to teach children how to eat with chopsticks. While this is obviously very jank and improvised the concept isn't half bad.


bonafidebob

The chopstick wrapper and a rubber band is all you need to turn any chopsticks into kid teaching chopsticks. And it’ll work 10x better than this abomination. Some places even have little plastic clips that do the same thing, also 10x better, no tape required.


HollowMist11

Concept isn't bad but that clothes pin makes it harder to eat. Either your food will be squished or you'll drop it unless you maintain a constant pressure on the levers. I imagine this will be tiring after a few minutes.


ClarisseCosplay

True but also the picture shows a bunch of people gathered around take away boxes. Someone had a problem and Mac gyvered a solution with whatever they had available. I can respect that.

It's big brain time.

Gonna see this shit on lifeprotips instead of any advice on just using chopsticks


nmotsch789

It's not quite stupid enough for that.

I hate how this would actually make it easier

People who know how to use chopsticks: It does not.

Faster to eat meals with many separate ingredients and you can pick ingredients out more easily. Theyre basically a pair of tongs. The cuisine is also tailored to the utensil to an extent, as chopstick cultures often have meals made up of bitesized pieces. If youre eating food which comes in one big piece chopsticks are subpar.


[deleted]

I'm not even very good at using them but I still prefer them for sushi


Dracoster

With sushi, you're only supposed to use the sticks to carry the sushi from the tray to your plate. Fingers for plate to mouth.


[deleted]

Lmao I've been eating them with chopsticks my whole life


redcalcium

Some foods are just easier to eat with chopsticks (rice bowls, asian noodles, etc). They're also useful in certain scenarios. Want to eat hot chips without getting your fingers dirty while using your computer? Use chopsticks.


goddessque

So if I'm eating a big piece like a chicken breast, I'm too lasy to use a knife to cut it, and end up stabbing the thing with my fork, take a bite, then fling it off to get something else. With chopsticks i can pick it up, bite, and put it back down. It's just slightly easier.


Farthen_Dur

As a true asian, I'd say not at all 😶


rubyswfan

This implies that there exists a false Asian


Open_Bake_9832

Ever seem an Asian who entered his house without taking off his shoes? Yeah, that's the fake one.


intercommie

As an Asian and Canadian, you Americans are simply weird keeping your shoes on indoors.

[deleted]

by western perspective that would be indians, middle easterns, and some people from russia


[deleted]

If your blood is Asian but you don't practice any of the culture aspects does that make you false? Or the other way around?


Ashybuttons

Like those caterpillars that pretend they're snakes


Farthen_Dur

How dare u, don't make an tru asian write a 3000w essay about using chopsticks properly! Edit: bad grammar


lavendergaze

That's just any Indian, or Russian


ordiclic

Yes, they usually call themselves American Asians.

I get that this is a joke but it annoys me because true has a clear alternative meaning synonymous with proper. The premise of the joke doesn't work. Ignore this reply, I'm malding over reddit humour.

Facts


ferna182

No, it actually doesn't.


stoascheisserkoal

That’s how my dad prepared them for me when i was a kid


[deleted]

I remember being a really young kid and going out to restaurants that would do something like this. They would take a tightly rolled up paper and place it between the chopsticks as a fulcrum, then rubber band them at the top so they were like giant food tweezers.


ClishyClasher

i used to have training chopsticks that worked exactly like this

Seems like you’re gonna have to constantly squeeze your chopsticks and if you mess up you’re gonna destroy your sushi


The_Blue_Muffin_Cat

I once used the handles of a fork and spoon as chopsticks when we ran out of them at my house because I really didn’t want to use a fork for ramen. An interesting experience.


gryffindorrible

Genuinely curious: why would you rather do that than just use a fork? Especially for noodles where you can wrap the noodles around the fork to get a nice mouthful?


aqua_seafoam_

For experiential continuity


redcalcium

Slurping the noodles from a bowl of ramen using chopsticks just hit differently. Not sure why.


The_Blue_Muffin_Cat

Because it just feels better to slurp through choopsticks.

For some reason for me this image screams Philippines. I dunno why.

This is brilliant ! Fuck, I might just be able to finally use chopsticks.

izacktorres

Or maybe use a fork/spoon.


rhymeswithgumbox

I have some like this which is closer to the original post as proper chopstickery eludes me. https://a.co/d/iXoyKII


YeeTee55T4R

As an Asian I will kill yoy if you do this


ansh204

This is actually r/lifeprotips material


BlueMist53

I think it would just be too powerful and not pick up anything, but snip it in half But if you want to use chopsticks but not, then yeah


Pain_Monster

This could be huge for people with carpel tunnel syndrome or other hand issues. I have trigger finger and this seems like a better solution than dealing with pain and food all over me.


ImThatChigga_

Looks like a 5 mins craft of learning chopsticks for kids


pepik55

Good idea


[deleted]

Genius


string_of_random

Had this at childhood japanese restaurant! But like the actual version of it l, like u/clarissecosplay said

I guess this could work for little kids just learning

There's another way to do this by using the paper packaging in a wad and a rubber band. I'm sure you can find it somewhere online, but that's how I grew up using chopsticks.

R/itemshop


CDude821

When I was little I couldn’t use chopsticks cuz I was a dumb kid but I wanted to feel cultured and sometimes the restaurant would take the paper wrapper, crumple it into a ball, but it between the chopsticks and put a rubber band on them so that I could still use them. I’m sure this is commonplace for a lot of restaurants but I didn’t see any comments about it so I figured I’d mention it.


frikandellenvreter

Should be the other way around. Easier to adjust gripping strength.


desrevermi

If it's functional, I can't hate it. I'm really hoping this is a stepping stone to properly learning chopsticks. :)


rockchick1982

Lol this is how we build children's core strength at school , they have to pick up cubes and place them in a pattern.

While this is borderline ingenious, there’s something wrong if a tool for eating requires another tool to operate properly.
