Honestly for a lot of foods they're really not a bad choice. They're excellent for eating flavored chips when you dont want powder on your fingers, also grabbing things from jars

Chop sticks and Cheetos are a classic combo!

Teaching my Cheetos loving children how to use chopsticks has saved all my gaming controllers.

I use them for eating popcorn

But then you can't shovel handfuls of popcorn in your mouth where a quarter misses your mouth and is found in the couch cushions 2 days later.

Aren't those the people who come over and empty your ashtrays when they're out of weed?

They are the best choice for salads. Eating salads with a fork sucks

I've gotta find someone with a 3D printer locally who can make me those fingy chopsticks for cheetos. I'm tired of cleaning my keyboard everytime I wanna snacc.

Check your public library, nowadays many often have a couple for the public to use

When I was in Toronto, yeppers. Alas I'm on an island out in the middle of nowhere. I'm gonna have to find a 3D print shop or make a friend lol

It's nice to hear from you again, and to be reminded of your living situation somewhere near Trailer Park Boys and Man in a Motel

Please do not eat food served via a 3d printed tool/plate/bowl/cup. A number of the materials that are used for 3d printing are toxic (cross contamination is likely even if the material has been changed), and the plastic can contain small abrasion which are impossible to sanitize.

and the plastic can contain small abrasion which are impossible to sanitize

This is a big reason why I don't like plastic dishware, cups, etc even when they are made with food-safe materials.

[–] hikaru755@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That's putting it mildly - every 3D print has tons of small crevices and imperfections even just from the layer lines alone, it's just completely impossible to keep a 3D print clean between repeated food contact. Unless it's sealed with resin or similar, but that's also not easy to get right.

my god grabbing things from jars how has that never occurred to me
